Buying a Southlake Home? Drain and Sewer Inspection in Southlake, TX Before You Close

You may think your home inspection covered the sewer line. For most Southlake buyers, it didn't.

Texas inspection rules list sewer cameras as a specialized tool that a standard inspection doesn’t require. Your inspector checks the plumbing you can see, but not the pipe buried under the yard. You can read the rules in the TREC Standards of Practice.

A separate sewer scope fills that gap. Our camera goes where the home inspection stops.

You may be touring an established Timarron home with big shade trees in the yard. Those trees add beauty, but they also add risk to the sewer line below.

Our camera often finds:

• Roots growing into pipe joints
• Cracks in older pipe
• Low spots where waste settles and builds up

Many Southlake lots keep their native post oaks and live oaks. Their roots reach toward sewer lines for moisture. Shifting clay soil can also make pipes sag over time.

You're under contract on a Southlake home, and your window to inspect is short. A few quick steps help you get the scope done in time.

• Book as soon as you sign the contract. Early booking leaves room to act on what we find.
• Ask your agent to set up access. The seller needs to let us in and point us to the cleanout.
• Confirm where the cleanout is. It's often in the yard or a landscape bed near the foundation.

Texas home contracts often include an option period. Findings that come in during that window give you the most choices.

When you buy the home, you take on the sewer line too. You should see all of it before you close.

We feed our camera through the cleanout and follow the line all the way to the city tap. You can stand with us and watch the live video as it moves.

In Southlake, the homeowner handles cleaning and repairs from the house through the tap. That makes the full length of the line your concern once the home is yours.

You're buying in Sterling Creek and need proof before you ask the seller for repairs. Our report gives you facts, not guesses.

• Video of the full line from the cleanout to the tap
• Notes on each problem, with its location and depth
• Plain-language findings your agent can share with the seller

Keep the report after you close, too. Clear records help again when you sell your Southlake home someday.
