Pre-Sale & Pre-Purchase Inspection
Know What's Inside Your Pipes Before You Sign
Most home inspections skip the drainage system entirely. Ours doesn't. A camera inspection gives buyers and sellers a clear picture of what's underground — before it becomes a costly surprise.
Why a Drain Camera Inspection Matters
Standard home inspections check what's visible — walls, roofs, electrical panels. But the drainage system runs underground and out of sight. Root intrusion, cracked pipes, offset joints, and blockages can cost thousands to repair, and they won't show up on a typical inspection report. Our camera inspection puts eyes inside your pipes so you know exactly what you're dealing with.

- Get peace of mind before closing
- Fast turnaround to meet closing timelines
For Sellers
- Identify and fix issues before listing

If we find issues, we'll give you a straight, honest estimate for repairs. No pressure — just the information you need to make a decision.
What We Commonly Find
Root Intrusion
Tree roots are the most common cause of sewer line damage. They enter through small cracks and grow over time, eventually causing blockages or pipe collapse.
Cracked or Offset Pipes
Ground movement, age, and settling can cause pipes to crack or shift out of alignment, leading to leaks and slow drainage.
Grease and Debris Buildup
Years of use can leave significant buildup inside pipes that restricts flow and creates recurring clogs.
Deteriorated Pipe Material
Older homes may have clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipes that have degraded significantly over time and may need replacement.
