Pre-Purchase Inspection

A general home inspector reports what is visible. A plumbing inspection includes sewer camera footage, static pressure testing, and water heater assessment, which is where the expensive surprises hide.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Camera footage through the lateral shows root intrusion, cracks, offsets, and bellied sections. On an older home this is the single most valuable inspection you can buy.

Call (951) 579-7318

Preventive Home Inspection

A periodic check of supply lines, angle stops, water heater, pressure regulator, and drains that finds the failures worth fixing before they choose their own timing.

What to Expect

What Gets Checked

Camera footage through the sewer lateral is the highest-value inspection on an older home.

A plumbing inspection is worth having because the components that cost the most to fix are the ones nobody can see. Supply lines are in walls, the sewer lateral is underground, and the water heater fails from the inside. An inspection converts all of that from unknown to documented.

1. Supply System and Pressure

Static pressure is tested at a hose bib, since high pressure quietly destroys fixtures and appliances and points to a failed regulator. Visible piping is identified by material and checked for corrosion.

2. Sewer Camera Through the Lateral

The camera goes through a cleanout and runs the length of the line, showing roots, cracks, offsets, and low spots. The location and depth of anything found is marked from above ground.

3. Water Heater and Gas Connections

Age, capacity, corrosion, seismic strapping, relief valve routing, expansion tank, venting, and the gas connection are all checked. Water heaters are the most commonly deferred item in a home sale.

4. Fixtures, Drains, and Written Findings

Fixtures are run, drains checked for flow, and visible supply connections inspected. You get findings you can act on, including what is urgent, what is worth watching, and what is fine.

If the camera finds a problem in the lateral, see sewer and mainline repair. If pressure testing points to a supply system at end of life, see pipe repair and repiping. Pricing is on our pricing page.

When to Inspect

When an Inspection Is Worth It

The clearest case is buying a home. A standard home inspection is broad and shallow by design, and it does not include a sewer camera. On a Riverside County property built before the 1980s, a sewer lateral in poor condition is a five-figure problem that will not appear in a general report.

The second case is age. Homes that have crossed roughly the thirty year mark have supply lines, water heaters, and pressure regulators that are all near or past service life at the same time. Knowing which one is closest to failing lets you budget instead of react.

On older properties the sewer camera is the part that most often pays for itself outright. Root intrusion and collapsed clay laterals are common in the older neighborhoods of Riverside, Hemet, and central Corona, and finding one before closing is very different from finding it afterward.

FAQ

Common Questions

A sewer camera inspection typically runs $250 to $600, and inspection fees are frequently credited toward a repair if one is needed. A broader whole-home plumbing inspection is priced by scope. See our pricing page, and you know the price before anything is scheduled.

Yes, substantially. A general home inspector evaluates the whole property and reports on what is visible and accessible. A plumbing inspection goes deeper on one system, with camera footage inside the sewer lateral and pressure testing on the supply side, and that is where the expensive findings tend to be.

On an older home, it is the highest-value inspection dollar you can spend. Sewer lateral repair and replacement can run into five figures, the condition is invisible from inside the house, and it is not covered by a standard inspection. On newer construction the risk is lower but the peace of mind is cheap.

You get the findings with the evidence attached, including camera footage where relevant, sorted by what needs attention now and what can wait. In a purchase that documentation is what you negotiate with. There is no obligation to have the work done by us.

A sewer camera inspection alone is typically under an hour. A full plumbing inspection covering supply, drains, water heater, gas connections, and fixtures generally takes one to two hours depending on the size of the home and how accessible things are.
