InterNACHI CMI®Homeowners in Farmington, Minnesota face a specific inspection reality. Farmington has grown explosively along Highway 3. Inventory is typically newer than the metro average. That's why sewer scope inspections in Farmington require local context, not just generic procedure.
A sewer scope is the single highest-ROI inspection any Minnesota homebuyer can order. We push a high-definition camera through the lateral — the privately owned pipe running from the foundation cleanout to the city main — and document every defect in real time.

Predominantly 2000s construction. The dominant risk is settlement at deep crossings and contractor-installed cleanouts.
