What is a Professional Sewer Inspection?
A professional sewer inspection is a non-invasive procedure where a waterproof, high-resolution video camera attached to a flexible rod is inserted into your main sewer line through an accessible cleanout. Our technician skillfully navigates the camera through the entire length of the pipe, from your home to the city main. We watch a live video feed on a monitor, allowing us to see every joint, crack, and potential problem in real-time..
Knowledge is Power: Critical Times for a Sewer Inspection
A sewer inspection is one of the smartest investments a property owner can make. It provides invaluable information in several key situations:
When living in an Older Home, Proactively check the condition of aging cast iron or clay pipes to budget for future repairs before they become an emergency.
Before Buying a Home: This is the most critical time. A pre-purchase sewer inspection can uncover hidden, multi-thousand-dollar problems, giving you negotiating power or saving you from a financial disaster.
When Facing Persistent Drain Issues: If your whole house suffers from slow drains or recurring backups, an inspection will pinpoint the root cause in the main line.
For Pre-Renovation Peace of Mind: Before beginning a costly remodel, ensure your sewer line is healthy enough to handle the demands of a new kitchen or bathroom.
From Guesswork to Guarantee: What an Inspection Uncovers

Separated or Leaking Pipe Joints that can lead to soil erosion and sinkholes.
The Exact Location and Cause of Blockages

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Inspection in Texas
Is a sewer inspection included in a standard home inspection?
Typically, no. Most general home inspectors do not have the specialized equipment or expertise to perform a sewer camera inspection. It is a separate, highly recommended service that provides a much deeper look into the home’s plumbing health.
Do I need to be present for the inspection?
While not mandatory, we highly recommend that you are present. This allows you to see the condition of your pipe with your own eyes and ask our technician questions directly as they perform the inspection.
What happens if you find a major problem?
If we discover an issue, you are in the best possible hands. We will show you the problem on video, explain the potential consequences, and provide you with a clear, comprehensive plan of action, including all available repair options and their costs.
How long does a typical sewer inspection take?
A standard residential sewer inspection usually takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the length and accessibility of the line.
