Sewer Scope Inspection in Des Moines
Sewer Scope Inspection in Des Moines, Polk County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Des Moines is Iowa's capital and largest city, a mix of historic neighborhoods and postwar suburbs on Des Moines Lobe till.

Local conditions in Des Moines
In a Des Moines house from one of the older neighborhoods, the line from the house to the main can be many decades old, and clay or cast-iron pipe is a common reason to look. Roots, offsets, bellies and cracking are all possible. The city's river flooding history, including the 1993 and 2008 floods, is another reason to know how a lateral is holding up, since high water and saturated ground stress buried lines. A camera sent through the line, recorded with problem spots marked, lets you plan repairs or negotiate.
