Sewer Scope Guide for Minnesota Realtors
A sewer scope runs a camera through the home's lateral to the city main, documenting root intrusion, bellies, and pipe material before they become a five-figure surprise. In Minnetonka's mature-tree neighborhoods, recommending a scope on older homes protects your client and the transaction.

Why it matters here
Oak-wilt and elm roots intrude into clay and Orangeburg laterals across the west metro. A failed lateral is a major, undisclosed expense — see oak-wilt root intrusion.
When to recommend it
On any home with mature trees or an older lateral — which is most established Minnetonka neighborhoods. It pairs with the sewer scope service.
How it protects the deal
A clean scope removes a major unknown; a problem scope becomes a documented negotiation point instead of a post-closing dispute.
