These inspections give you peace of mind and help catch small issues before they turn into major (and expensive) headaches.
Common Residential Drain Problems
Why Homeowners and Realtors in the Tri-Cities Trust Us
Drain problems can quickly escalate from minor inconveniences to major plumbing emergencies.
Our experienced team helps homeowners resolve:
Clear,
Detailed Reporting
We don't just give you a video. We provide high-resolution footage along with a clear, written report that explains what we find and what it means. It's an essential tool for buyers, sellers, and real estate agents in Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco who want no surprises during closing.
Certified,
Experienced Professionals
Our team is NASSCO-certified under the BSDI (Building Sewer and Drain Inspection) program, which means your inspection is performed according to the highest national standards. Not many inspection companies in the Tri-Cities can say that.
Specialists in
Real Estate Transactions
We regularly work with people buying or selling homes in the Tri-Cities and know how fast timelines can move. We prioritize quick turnaround and reliable reporting so you can keep your deal on track.
What Our Sewer Inspections Include
Our inspections do more than check for blockages. With advanced cameras and professional know-how, we offer a comprehensive view of your entire sewer system. Here’s what you’ll get:
PIPE LOCATION & DEPTH MAPPING
We use locating tools to track exactly where your sewer lines run and how deep they are. The result? A custom sewer map included in your report, super helpful if you ever plan landscaping, remodeling, or future maintenance.
PIPE SIZE & TRANSITIONS
Any time the diameter of your pipes changes, it can affect flow. We document those transitions so you're aware of potential bottlenecks or outdated sections, especially important in older Tri-Cities neighborhoods.
WHAT YOUR PIPE ARE MADE OF
Are your pipes PVC? Cast iron? Clay? Or maybe something older like asbestos cement? We identify the material in each section, so you can plan for future upkeep and know what to expect over time.
SLOPE & GRADE ANALYSIS
Sewer pipes need the right slope to work correctly. We evaluate the grade of your line to find areas that may be too flat (causing backups) or too steep (causing excessive wear). Improper slope is more common than you might think, especially in older homes.
Full Pipe Condition Report
Here’s where we catch the real troublemakers.
Our inspection checks for:
- Cracks, breaks, or partial collapses
- Tree root intrusion (very common in mature yards around Richland and Kennewick)
- Corrosion or heavy scaling
- Separated joints
- Standing water or "bellies" in the line
- Debris, grease, and sludge buildup
- Orangeburg piping, a lightweight pipe used in the 1940s-70s that tends to collapse with age. It's still found in older homes throughout Richland and parts of Kennewick, and our inspections can identify it before it causes a serious failure.
Local, Certified, and Transparent
We’re proud to be one of the few NASSCO BSDI-certified companies serving the Tri-Cities. Whether your home is a historic build near the Richland Parkway, a modern house in Kennewick’s Southridge, or a starter home in Pasco, we bring the same honest service, clear communication, and technical precision to every inspection.
