Sewer-scope inspections
Questions about a sewer line are different from general questions about the condition of a home. Kerwin Inspections offers sewer-scope inspections in Miami-Dade and Broward. When you inquire, describe the property and the concern, and ask what the proposed scope can cover with the available access. This service should be discussed separately rather than assumed to be part of every purchase home inspection.

Timing: Confirm report timing before booking
Your request stays on this website and is followed by contact about the scope and quote. It is not instant confirmed booking.
The short answer
What should you know first?
A sewer-scope inspection is a separately offered service. Clarify which line or area is part of the requested scope, what access is available and what deliverable is included before booking. No repair or future-performance guarantee is advertised.
Choosing the service
When does this service fit?
- Buyers who want to discuss a sewer-line question alongside a purchase home inspection.
- Owners with a specific concern who need to establish whether a sewer-scope inspection fits their request.
- People comparing an additional sewer-scope service with the plumbing information in another inspection.
What should you clarify before the appointment?
Ask which part of the requested line or system is within the proposed service and what access needs to be available. If you have relevant property information or a previous concern, share it when you inquire rather than expecting the service name alone to define the task.
Also ask what happens if access or site conditions limit the work and what information you will receive afterward. This page does not promise a particular equipment setup, recorded-video deliverable or fixed reach for every property.
Does a home or four-point inspection include a sewer scope?
Do not assume it does. A sewer-scope request should be included in your inquiry so the scope and quote can be discussed separately. Having plumbing information in another report is not the same as booking this additional service.
Florida’s Insurance Consumer Advocate identifies plumbing as one of the four-point systems, but that insurance-focused description does not establish that a sewer-scope service is included. Match the service to your particular question instead of relying on similar-sounding labels.
Plan before booking
Cost and timing are separate questions.
What does it cost?
Request a sewer-scope quote for the property and proposed service. No standalone rate or automatic bundled price is published here.
If you also need a home inspection or another specialty service, identify each request and confirm the complete quote before booking.
More about starting prices and the quote processWhen will the information arrive?
Confirm sewer-scope deliverable timing when you inquire. Share any purchase or other decision deadline.
Same-day home-inspection reports do not create a same-day promise for a separately requested sewer-scope deliverable.
Understand report vs. laboratory timingUseful buying questions
Ask these before booking.
- Which part of the line or system can be included in the proposed scope?
- What access is required, and what could limit the inspection?
- What report or other deliverable is included?
- What are the service quote and confirmed delivery timeline?
Limits and expectations
What should you not assume?
- The agreed scope and available access matter; do not assume every part of a sewer system can be evaluated.
- An inspection is not a repair service or a guarantee against future sewer problems.
- No particular recording, equipment method or diagnosis of every possible plumbing issue is promised on this page.
Common questions
Sewer scope: questions and answers
Is a sewer scope automatically included in a home inspection?
Do not assume it is included. Request the sewer-scope service explicitly and confirm its scope and quote alongside any home inspection.
Will I receive a recording?
Ask what deliverable is included in the proposed service before booking. A recorded-video deliverable is not promised on this page.
Does the inspection include repairs?
No repair service or future-performance guarantee is advertised here. The request is for inspection information within the agreed scope and available access.
