# SewerInspectors.ca

> Choose a sewer inspection that answers your actual question, and leave with usable footage, findings and next steps. SewerInspectors.ca is part of the HAUSE Sewer network — an independent Canadian information and service-request network (not a contractor). Contact: sewers@hause.ca, 403-679-3100.

A sewer inspection should leave you with more than a verdict. Know where the camera entered, what it reached, what was visible and what remained uncertain. Use the illustrated examples and scope builder to ask for footage, written findings and a clear next step.
