What we actually find

The four failures we document every week.

Every Minnesota scope is logged against InterNACHI Master Inspector defect codes — the same standard used by every major MN repair contractor.

Root intrusion through sewer pipe joint

Root Intrusion

Tree roots find every joint gap. Pre-1965 clay tile is most vulnerable.

High
Inside an aged sewer pipe with a low belly section holding standing waste water

Belly / Sag

Freeze-heave creates low spots that pool waste and accelerate failure.

Medium
Two misaligned clay-tile sewer pipe segments showing an offset joint with soil visible through the gap

Offset Joint

Pipe sections shift out of alignment — often at the curb stop.

High
Inside an aged sewer pipe showing a hairline crack and fracture with mineral staining

Crack / Fracture

Stress fractures in clay, transite, or Orangeburg. Accelerates collapse.

Medium
Process

Six steps from booked to signed.

No surprises, no upsells, no repair-side conflict of interest.

Reviews

What MN buyers and agents say.

Saved my buyer thousands on a 1958 ranch. The scope caught a fully collapsed Orangeburg run the standard inspection missed.

JMJen M.RE/MAX · Twin Cities

I scope every listing before I take it. SewerScopeMN's pre-listing report is the negotiation move that keeps deals from falling apart.

DKDavid K.Edina Realty

Booked Tuesday, scoped Thursday, report Friday. Found a belly we negotiated thousands off. Never skipping again.

FAQ

Common questions from Minnesota buyers.

Why does Minnesota housing need sewer scopes more than other states?

Three reasons: frost depth (60–80\" in northern MN) stresses joints; mid-century housing density means Orangeburg and clay tile are still widespread; and freeze-thaw cycles open joints every spring. A scope routinely surfaces five-figure defects.

How fast can you scope a home before my closing?

Same week is standard across all 50 cities. Urgent? Same-day scheduling is available in the Twin Cities metro.

Do you do the repairs too?

No. Intentionally. We sell inspections — never repairs. That's how we stay honest about what's actually in the ground.

What does the report look like?

HD video, InterNACHI Master Inspector defect codes with severity ratings, distance markers, repair-class flags, and typical local cost ranges. Delivered within 24 hours.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Every inspector is an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector (CMI) and fully insured.
