THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PLUMBING & SEWER INSPECTIONS BEFORE BUYING A HOME

When booking with The Sewer Inspection Company, you can order a sewer inspection and add the additional plumbing inspection and testing package for $100. Confirm which service you want when scheduling so the planned work is clear.

Sewer inspection: starting at $239 and up

We provide residential and commercial sewer inspections throughout Dallas–Fort Worth. Every job includes a certified Master Plumber sewer inspection report and linked high-definition video narrated by Steven Shipler, a Texas licensed Master Plumber.

The report and footage document the inspection for you to review. Ask us to explain the coverage, any limitations, and recommended next steps. A report for the areas inspected should not be treated as proof that every concealed line on a property has been evaluated.

The additional $100 plumbing package

The add-on includes:

  • Branch-line inspection.
  • Pressure testing of the main lateral lines.
  • A water-line pressure test.
  • Observation of all visible lines.

The $100 is additional to the sewer inspection fee. Tell us about the property, your concerns, and access restrictions when requesting the package. Confirm the total quote before the visit.

Same-day report and videos

Your written report and narrated inspection videos are prepared, uploaded, and delivered the same day as your inspection.

Watch the narrated footage alongside the written findings. If you have a question, identify the report section and relevant video time so we can discuss the observation with you. Our report review guide includes follow-up questions.

Coordinate with your general home inspection

Ask your home inspector what their agreement covers. TREC’s minimum standards, §535.227(a)(3)–(4), do not require interior sewer or drain cameras. Qualified inspectors may provide additional services, so confirm the scope rather than assuming a camera inspection is included.

Share existing inspection findings with us and explain any questions you want addressed. An agent can use our scheduling checklist to coordinate permission, access, and appointment details.

What if repairs are recommended?

Ask for an explanation of the finding and proposed next step. We can provide repair estimates when appropriate. Inspection charges and repair estimates are separate; review the scope of any proposed work before making a decision.

Arrange a DFW inspection

We serve Dallas, North Dallas, Collin County, Plano, Richardson, Garland, Allen, Frisco, and the wider DFW area. See our pricing guide or $100 add-on FAQ.
