Cast Iron Sewer Inspections – Miami FL
Many older Miami homes were built with cast iron sewer pipes, which have a lifespan of about 40–50 years. Today, many of these pipes are failing — leading to leaks, blockages, and even foundation damage. At Tri-County Building Inspection Services, we provide professional sewer scope inspections in Miami using high-resolution cameras to evaluate the condition of underground sewer lines.
If you’re buying an older home in Miami, a sewer scope inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make. Detecting issues early can save you thousands of dollars in repairs and help you negotiate more effectively during the purchase process.
