Question 1

Is there a difference between a boroscope and an endoscope?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An endoscope is a term for a medical device used by doctors to examine the digestive tract. Boroscopes are suitable for industrial and commercial viewing applications only.

Question 2

How do I connect an endoscope to my smart device?

Accepted Answer

Many models don't come with screens. Instead, they connect to your phone via Wi-Fi. You watch the video feed on your device and have the opportunity to record video and take pictures directly on your phone or tablet.

Question 3

How much will contractors charge me to scope my pipework?

Accepted Answer

A video inspection of your pipes can cost anywhere from $200 to $1,000. The cost depends on the extent of the damage and the challenge of finding the problem.

Question 4

If my sewer line bursts, who has to pay for it – me or the city?

Accepted Answer

In most instances, the property owner is liable for the repair of the sewer line. The sewer line runs from your home to the street, and you're responsible for the pipe from the street junction to your home. If the sewer lateral is outside of the property line, it's a city problem.
