Sewer Inspection Plano TX: The Inspection That Could Save You $20,000 Before Closing
Buying a home in Plano is expensive enough. The last thing a buyer needs is to close on a house and then discover the underground sewer line is broken, bellied, offset, full of roots, or failing under the slab.
A sewer inspection before closing gives the buyer video evidence of what is happening underground. A house can look beautiful above ground while the sewer line is hiding a $10,000, $18,000, or even $25,000 repair.

Plano Buyer Story
We have inspected homes in Plano where everything looked clean inside the home, but the sewer camera told a different story. One buyer discovered a failed section of sewer line before closing. The repair estimate was over $18,000. Because it was found before closing, the buyer had room to negotiate with the seller.
That is the point of the inspection: find the problem before the home becomes yours.
