Sewer Lateral Inspection in Bensalem Township, PA
Point-of-sale sewer scopes for Bensalem, Cornwells Heights, Eddington, Andalusia, Trevose and Bridgewater — camera on site, defects marked above ground, written report and video emailed the same day.
Same-day & next-day appointments · Free estimates on repairs
Bensalem is the largest municipality in Bucks County and the busiest resale market we scope. Between Street Road, Bristol Pike and the Neshaminy corridor you get 1950s Cornwells Heights and Eddington blocks on original clay, postwar Orangeburg runs, and 1990s developments on PVC — three completely different failure patterns inside one township.
A home inspector will not scope the lateral. We will, and the Registered Master Plumber reading your footage is the same person who would do the repair, so the call is honest: if jetting solves it, we say so instead of quoting an excavation.

Selling in Bensalem: What the Township Looks For
Point-of-sale and inflow-and-infiltration requirements in Bensalem are set by the Township and its sewer department, and the details are revised from time to time. Rather than quote a rule that may have changed since you read it, we confirm the current requirement for your specific address before we schedule — then deliver the inspection in the format the Township, your buyer, the agent and the title company all accept.
What that means in practice: a full camera run from the cleanout to the Township main, distances and pipe material documented, every defect located and marked above ground, and a written report with the unedited video attached. If the Township or the buyer asks for a re-scope after a repair or a cleaning, we come back and re-run it.
Root intrusion at clay joints
The default finding on older Cornwells Heights, Eddington and Andalusia streets with mature trees.
Orangeburg deformation
Postwar tar-paper pipe that ovals and collapses — a scope is the only way to catch it before settlement.
Cast iron channeling
Rusted-out pipe bottoms that snag solids and cause the repeat backups sellers get blamed for.
Bellies in newer PVC
Settled backfill in the 1980s–2000s developments off Street Road creating standing water.

Yes. We scope restaurant, retail, and industrial laterals along Street Road, Bristol Pike, and the Neshaminy corridor, including grease-loaded lines, and we jet first when the pipe needs to be clean to be read.
