Dallas Area Sewer Inspection Experts
At The Sewer Inspection Company, we take pride in serving Dallas, North Dallas, and Collin County, Texas. Our work is built around one simple idea: buyers and property owners deserve to know what is happening underground before they make a major decision.
In North Texas, the ground moves. Expansive clay soils, foundation movement, mature trees, older cast iron sewer lines, and previous repairs can all affect the condition of the underground sewer system. A home can look excellent above ground while the sewer line has standing water, roots, offsets, separations, or deterioration below the slab.
That is why we use professional sewer camera equipment, locating tools, video documentation, and clear reporting to help clients make informed decisions before closing, repairing, or negotiating.
Why Local Experience Matters
Sewer camera inspections are not all the same. A camera is only a tool. The real value comes from knowing how to read the pipe, understand the flow, spot defects, and explain what the video actually means.
We have seen clean-looking homes with serious underground defects. We have also seen buyers panic over issues that were minor and manageable. The goal is not to scare people. The goal is to give honest, detailed information that helps the buyer, Realtor, homeowner, or investor make a smart decision.
Our inspection approach is simple: deliver a thorough inspection, explain the findings clearly, provide video evidence, and focus on the customer experience from start to finish.

A professional sewer inspection can help identify defects that are hidden from a normal home inspection. These are the issues that often create expensive surprises after closing.
Why This Matters Before Closing
A standard home inspection usually does not show the inside of the underground sewer line. That means a buyer can know the condition of the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, water heater, and foundation, but still have no idea whether the sewer line is damaged.
Sewer repairs can be expensive, especially if the damaged pipe is under a slab foundation, driveway, sidewalk, patio, landscaping, or finished flooring. Getting the sewer inspected before closing gives the buyer evidence and leverage.
