What should I be requesting for a sewer scope?

I have had sewer scopes done before to locate blocks but this would be the first time I will do a sewer scope on a house under contract.

This house is ~6000sqft and very spreadout so the inspector estimates it will take ~4 hours. Do I just sit around with them, going through lines and checking if there are:

  • roots
  • compromises in the pipe and connectors
  • unexpected curves either along the X or Y axis that might cause buildup
  • drop the scope from the plumbing vents as well to ensure they aren't blocked?
  • other?

This is an offgrid property so a septic system's involved - I'm curious if I should stop the scope upto the stubout or have it continue down at the tank to ensure there's no block from the stubout to the tank
