Homebuyers and homeowners are increasingly asking about the condition of their sewer lines.
But most inspectors and plumbers don’t offer drain scoping, which means:
Customers are left with unanswered questions
Competitors step in to provide the service
And valuable upsell revenue goes elsewhere
Without this capability, you may be missing one of the easiest revenue upgrades in the industry.
Drain scoping is a service that can easily fit into several paths:
Plumbers can offer it as an upsell during service calls
Home inspectors can add it as a premium inspection upgrade

I spent 28 years in the Oil and Gas industry, starting as an electrician and controls technician and finishing my career in a senior field compliance role.
After retiring at 57, I pursued a new direction, taking a Home Inspector course and launching a home inspection business with my sons in 2011. While inspecting homes and scoping drains, we quickly recognized a significant demand for drain repair. This realization led us to investigate trenchless technologies—less invasive methods for drain replacement—and soon after, started a trenchless repair company.
Since then, we have successfully scoped, patched, pipe-bursted, and relined hundreds of sewer systems. We are committed to staying ahead in the trenchless industry, continually seeking the latest equipment and technologies to ensure the highest quality product for every customer.
After spending 12 years as a ticketed carpenter working in residential and commercial construction, I changed careers to become a home inspector. Around that time, my dad, brother, and I started a home inspection business together in 2011.
Within the first year, we added a sewer camera service, which opened the door to a large volume of drain inspections, cleaning, and eventually trenchless pipe replacements. Since then, I’ve scoped, cleaned, and replaced an incredible number of sewer lines.
I’m certified in several specialized replacement tools and techniques used in the industry. I continue to expand my knowledge and stay up to date in this constantly evolving and intriguing field.
