# Residential Sewer Scope Inspections: What Are They and Why Do You Need One?
, 
If you are a homeowner, you know that there are many things you need to do to maintain your property. One of the most important things you can do is to have a sewer scope inspection done. This type of inspection is important because it can help identify problems with your sewer line before they become major issues.
## What is a Residential Sewer Scope Inspection?
A residential sewer scope inspection is a process that involves inserting a video camera into your home’s sewer line. This camera is attached to a flexible cable that is inserted into the sewer line through a cleanout or other access point. As the camera travels through the sewer line, it captures video footage of the interior of the pipe. This footage is then transmitted to a monitor, where it can be viewed in real time by a professional inspector.
## Why Do You Need a Residential Sewer Scope Inspection?
There are several reasons why you might need a residential sewer scope inspection. One of the most common reasons is to identify problems with your sewer line before they become major issues. Some of the problems that can be identified through a sewer scope inspection include:
1. Tree root intrusion: Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems. They can grow into the sewer line, causing blockages and other issues.
2. Cracks and leaks: Over time, sewer lines can develop cracks and leaks. These can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, shifting soil, and extreme temperatures.
3. Blockages: Sewer lines can become clogged with a variety of materials, including grease, hair, and other debris.
By identifying these problems early, you can take steps to address them before they become major issues. This can help you avoid costly repairs and other expenses down the road.
## How Does a Residential Sewer Scope Inspection Work?
A residential sewer scope inspection typically takes between one and two hours to complete. During this time, the inspector will insert a video camera into your home’s sewer line and travel through the line to inspect for any issues. The inspector will be looking for any signs of damage, blockages, or other issues that could be causing problems with your sewer line.

# Radon Testing and Mitigation
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the decay of uranium in the soil. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can seep into homes and buildings through cracks and other openings in the foundation. Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, after smoking, and it is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year. Therefore, it is important to test for radon and mitigate elevated levels to reduce the risk of lung cancer.
Radon Testing The first step in protecting yourself and your family from radon is to test your home. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that all homes be tested for radon, regardless of the location or age of the home. Testing is easy and inexpensive, and there are several methods to choose from, including short-term tests (2-7 days) and long-term tests (more than 90 days). Short-term tests are a good way to get a quick snapshot of the radon levels in your home, while long-term tests are more accurate and can provide a better estimate of the average annual radon level. You can purchase radon test kits from hardware stores, online retailers, or from a qualified radon measurement professional. The EPA also maintains a list of state and tribal radon contacts that can provide information on qualified radon measurement professionals in your area.
Radon Mitigation If your home has high levels of radon, there are several ways to reduce those levels. The most common method of radon mitigation is called active soil depressurization (ASD). This involves installing a vent pipe system and a fan to draw radon from beneath the foundation and exhaust it outside the home. Other mitigation methods include sealing cracks and other openings in the foundation and walls, installing a heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system, and pressurizing the building with fresh air. It is important to hire a qualified radon mitigation professional to design and install a mitigation system that is tailored to your home’s specific needs.
Radon is a serious health hazard that can be easily overlooked. Testing your home for radon and mitigating elevated levels can help reduce the risk of lung cancer. If you are concerned about radon in your home, contact a qualified radon measurement professional and consider taking action to protect yourself and your family
