New Construction Phase Inspections
Why should I have a pre-listing inspection? Before you list your home, gain the important knowledge that only a Seller’s home Inspection can tell you! We will inspect your property using the same detailed procedures we utilize during a Buyer’s home Inspection. You can find out what to repair or replace to improve your odds of getting a fast sale. Or reduce or remove potential negotiations by listing the home "as is" with a complete disclosure inspection.

Sewer Line Scope
Certified IBHS FORTIFIED Evaluator
Certified IBHS FORTIFIED Evaluator
The sewer line is not visible in a standard home inspection, so we cannot tell you if there's a failure or blockage inside of the line. A scope evaluation can report blockage, cracks, and other drainage issues. As the inspector runs out the snake line, the camera records everything within the pipe. The footage is then reviewed to try and discern the cause of any issues in the plumbing, like cracks in the pipe, the presence of roots, clogs, or collapsed lines.
