Start with pipe material
Clay, concrete, cast iron, Orangeburg, and plastic age differently. Identifying the material gives context to joints, corrosion, deformation, and root entry.
Separate defects from failures
An offset, belly, deposit, or root intrusion is evidence—not automatically a replacement recommendation. Severity and flow matter.
Locate the condition
Distance markers and access-point context help connect a finding to the yard, foundation, or public connection before bids are requested.
Keep the video and report together
Spokane Rooter supplies visual documentation and written analysis so the next contractor or property owner can review the same evidence.
Questions specific to this resource
sewer scope interpretation FAQ
Is every root visible on camera an emergency?
No. The amount, location, flow restriction, and recurrence history determine whether cleaning, monitoring, or repair is appropriate.
Can a clean-looking pipe still have a problem?
Yes. Access limitations, standing water, or an incomplete run can hide sections, which is why report context matters.
Does Spokane Rooter provide the recording?
Yes. The $149 + tax inspection includes video documentation and a written report; add-on fees can apply when special access is required.
