Certified before closing
Scope Certificate independently verifies a completed residential sewer scope and issues a transferable certificate backed by a 12-month repair guarantee. We do not perform the sewer work — the performing company does, and we verify the evidence.
Scope Certificate
Issuer confirmation: Scope Certificate confirms that the line’s condition, as verified from the scope video, was clean and free of material defects on the date of service.
Sample only — not a valid certificate. See the full sample design.
The process
The certificate is a confidence check behind a guarantee — not a repair service and not a substitute for the performing company’s responsibility for its own work.
A performing company completes a camera scope of the main sewer line. Cleaning is included only when the line is not clean as inspected.
Submit the itemized receipt and a link to the full, unedited inspection video. The property address must be confirmable from both items.
Scope Certificate checks the receipt, video identification, property eligibility, company information and whether the line appears clean and passing.
If the certificate is ready to issue, the applicant pays the issuance fee. If information is missing or the line does not pass, the application becomes pending at no charge.
Three application tracks
The applicant depends on who is submitting the evidence. Homeowner and buyer applications never trigger contact with the performing company.
For the registered company that performed the sewer scope. The company provides its registration details and signs the required 12-month Responsibility Confirmation on every application.
For the homeowner who had the work done. Submit the receipt and video received for the property. Scope Certificate uses public-record company checks only.
For a buyer under contract or recently closed. The receipt may name the seller. Enter the property address and submit the transaction’s receipt and video evidence.
Coverage and limits
If a problem arising from the certified work occurs in the certified main line within 12 months of the date of service, it is repaired at no cost to the owner — parts and labor included.
Claims go first to the performing company, which has first responsibility for its own work. Scope Certificate manages the claim for the owner and backstops the guarantee if the company fails to perform.
Twelve months after the date of service — not the application, closing or issuance date. Transferring the certificate to a buyer does not restart the period.
The main sewer line from the home’s access point to the city main connection, as inspected and certified.
Responsibility is limited to problems arising from the work performed and the condition certified. No responsibility is assumed for problems not caused by that work.
Interior branch lines, floor drains, the city-owned main, portions not visible to the camera, conditions outside the pipe, later work by others, misuse or foreign objects introduced after certification, and unrelated ground movement or natural events are outside the certification.
A certificate states the line’s observed condition on the date of service. It is not an insurance policy and cannot promise that a sewer line will never change or need future service.
Simple pricing

See the document
This is the finalized certificate design with sample information only. It is provided so applicants, sellers, buyers and agents can see the document format before applying.
Every issued certificate has a unique number in the format SC-YYYY-####, names the performing company, states the date of service, and shows the guarantee end date.
Questions
No. Scope Certificate is a certification body and sole issuer. It does not perform scoping or cleaning and has no service crew. A separate performing company does the work.
Not if it is clean as inspected. “Clean” means free-flowing, with no material buildup restricting the bore, no root intrusion and no standing water. If cleaning was performed, the post-cleaning verification pass must be included in the video.
The property address must be confirmable from both the receipt and the video link — for example, from the receipt itself and from an on-screen video overlay, linked report header, or the identification supplied with the video link.
Residential properties only: single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and 1–4 unit residential properties. Commercial properties are not certified at this time.
The application goes to PENDING at no charge. Scope Certificate emails the exact missing items, and the applicant replies to that email to complete the application. If the line does not pass, the findings are emailed and a corrected or post-cleaning video can be submitted by email reply.
Only when a certificate is issued. PDF is $29.99 and printed is $49.99 including shipping and handling. ACH, Zelle and Venmo are accepted at the same price; exact payee instructions are sent in the issuance notice.
Yes. The certification and remaining guarantee transfer to the buyer at closing. The 12-month period continues from the original date of service and does not restart.
The video link and certificate records are retained for 24 months.
