What is included in a Plumbing Inspection
Every inspection includes a full walkthrough of your supply, drain, and vent systems, a sewer camera run, and a written report with photos.
Work order
Plumbing Inspection- Full fixture check: We run every faucet, flush every toilet, and test the shower and tub valves. We check under every sink for leaks and look at the supply lines and shutoff valves. Anything that drips, sticks, or runs gets noted in the report.
- Sewer camera run: We pull the main cleanout and push a RIDGID sewer camera through the lateral. You watch the monitor with us. We look for roots, cracks, bellies, and blockages, and we record the footage so you have a copy.
- Water heater inspection: We check the anode rod, the temperature-pressure relief valve, the burner assembly, and the venting. If the tank is past its life or the anode rod is gone, we tell you and give you a replacement price.
- Pressure and leak test: We attach a pressure gauge to an outdoor spigot and watch the reading. A reading above 80 psi means the regulator is failing. We also isolate sections of the system to check for hidden leaks behind walls or under the slab.
- Gas line check: We test every gas appliance connection with a leak detector. If we find a leak at the water heater, range, or furnace, we note it and recommend repair. Gas leaks are a safety issue and we treat them that way.
- Written report with photos: You get a digital report before we leave. It lists every finding with a photo, a location, and a recommended fix. We rank items by urgency so you know what needs attention now and what can wait until next year.

What Plumbing Inspection in schertz actually covers
A proper inspection finds the problem while it is still small. We run the camera, test the pressure, and write it down. You get facts, not guesses.
We check static water pressure with a pressure gauge, run every fixture, inspect the water heater anode rod, and push a sewer camera through the main line. We also verify shutoff valves, look for slab leak warning signs, and test for gas leaks at appliance connections. You get a written report with photos, not a verbal summary.

Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Attached to an outdoor spigot to read static water pressure. Readings above 80 psi indicate a failing pressure regulator.
Used to listen for and locate hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs when the pressure gauge shows a drop.
Clears grease, scale, and soft blockages from drain lines when the camera shows buildup but no structural damage.
Clears simple clogs in sinks, showers, and toilets during the inspection so you do not need a second visit.

How Plumbing Inspection works in schertz
Schertz sits on clay soil that expands and contracts with the seasons, and that movement stresses underground pipes. Homes built before 1990 often still have original clay tile sewer laterals, which crack and fill with roots.
Schertz Heights
Older homes with original clay tile sewer lines. We see root intrusion and cracked laterals frequently here.
Cibolo Crossing
Newer construction with PVC pipe. Inspections focus on installation quality and pressure regulator settings.
Selma Estates
Mix of 1990s and 2000s homes. Water heaters are often at the end of their life and need inspection.

PhotoRoot intrusion in clay tile sewer line
Before: A 1978 home in Schertz Heights had slow drains in both bathrooms. The homeowner had snaked the line twice with no lasting result. Our camera found roots entering through cracked clay tile joints every 10 feet.
After: We cleared the roots with a hydro jetter and replaced the damaged section with PVC pipe. The drains flowed freely, and the camera run after repair showed a clean line.
Running toilet and leaking hose bib
Before: They could not find the leak. Our inspection found a running toilet and a leaking outdoor spigot that had been dripping for months.
After: We replaced the toilet flapper and fill valve and repaired the hose bib.
Water heater anode rod failure
Before: A homeowner in Selma noticed popping sounds from the water heater and rusty hot water. The unit was 11 years old. Our inspection found the anode rod was completely gone and sediment had built up on the tank bottom.
After: We replaced the water heater with a new Bradford White unit and installed a water softener to protect it. The popping stopped, hot water was clear, and the new tank should last 12 to 15 years.
Problems a Plumbing Inspection in schertz solves
Most plumbing emergencies we see in Schertz started as small issues that went unnoticed for months.
Slow drains that keep coming back
A slow drain usually means buildup or a partial blockage in the line.
Water bill creeping up every month
A running toilet or a leaking outdoor spigot can waste hundreds of gallons a day. You pay for that water and never see where it goes.
Low water pressure at every faucet
Low pressure throughout the house usually means a failing pressure regulator or a corroded main line. Ignoring it can lead to a burst pipe.
Water heater making popping noises
Popping sounds mean sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank.

They did a whole house plumbing inspection schertz Texas and found a running toilet and a leaking hose bib. Fixed both the same visit. The bill went back to normal the next cycle. I had no idea a toilet could waste that much water.
