When most people think about a home inspection, they picture the roof, foundation, HVAC system, and electrical panels. But one of the most overlooked and most expensive areas of the home is the main sewer line. At Texas Reliable Inspections, we’ve seen firsthand how hidden problems underground can turn into costly repairs if they go unnoticed.

What Is a Sewer Line Inspection?

A sewer line inspection uses a specialized camera to look inside the main drain line of a home. This helps identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or improper pipe materials that may lead to future failures.

Common Problems We Find in Texas Homes

• Tree root intrusion – Roots can push into small openings in pipes, causing clogs and damage.

• Pipe deterioration – Older cast iron or clay pipes often corrode or collapse over time.

• Improper slope or installation – Poor grading can cause sewage backups.

• Grease, debris, or foreign objects – Everyday use can build up over the years, restricting flow.

Why It Matters for Buyers and Homeowners

Repairs to a damaged sewer line can range from $3,000 to $15,000+ depending on the severity. A simple inspection during your home inspection process can save you from unexpected surprises after you move in.

For homeowners, periodic checks help prevent emergencies. No one wants to discover a backup during a holiday weekend or right after guests arrive.
