Should I get a sewer scope on a Woodbury home?

A sewer scope is a smart add-on for many Woodbury homes, especially those connected to the municipal sewer with mature trees on the lot. A camera is sent down the main sewer line from the home to the city connection to reveal problems a standard inspection can't see, since the line is buried. Even on newer homes, scopes can find root intrusion at pipe joints, bellies or sags where waste collects, offsets, cracks, or construction debris left in the line. Tree roots are the classic culprit, and as a subdivision's landscaping matures, roots increasingly reach the lateral. A sewer line repair or replacement is one of the most expensive surprises a homeowner can face, often running thousands, and it's almost never covered by a standard policy. For the modest cost of a scope, you get peace of mind or strong negotiating leverage. Homes on private septic, less common in Woodbury proper, need a separate septic evaluation.
