Why Plano Homebuyers Need a Plumbing Inspection

Plano has many established neighborhoods with slab foundations, mature trees, remodel history, and older underground sewer laterals. A home can look clean during the showing while still having cast iron deterioration, sewer bellies, root intrusion, bad slope, or hidden drain problems.

On real estate inspections, I have seen buyers get focused on paint, flooring, and appliances while missing the most expensive system in the house: the plumbing and sewer system. A plumbing inspection gives the buyer real information before they inherit someone else’s repair.

What Should Be Checked?

Water heater age, venting, pan, drain, and safety items
Toilets, tubs, showers, faucets, and visible leaks
Drain flow and slow drainage concerns
Water pressure and shutoff valve condition
Cleanout access and sewer line condition
Signs of slab leaks or prior plumbing repairs
Sewer camera inspection when cleanout access is available

The Sewer Line Is the Big Risk

A leaking faucet is annoying. A failed sewer line under a slab can become a major construction project. That is why Plano buyers should include a sewer scope inspection as part of their plumbing due diligence.

Know what is underground before you buy.
