FAQ: VIDEO CAMERA INSPECTION

Question:
Will home inspectors video inspect the main sewer line or pipe?

Answer:
No! Most home inspectors like to give positive results on home inspections. If the visual plumbing looks good in their opinion, they will give it a good score; completely neglecting to look inside the main sewer line. The reason they do this is because if there is a tree nearby, odds are a video inspection will show the poor condition and dilapidation of the sewer pipes.

Answer:

Question:
Why all sewer line inspection companies are not alike?

Answer:
Many multi-inspection firms work from the idea of doing a large number of hasty and sometimes incomplete inspections at a cheap cost is good. At TRS we prefer to do a very limited number of inspections at the highest level of professionalism possible. We treat each client as our only client. We are the most service orientated inspection company in the West Texas area. We don't look at numbers of inspections; we look out for our client’s complete satisfaction, at, during and after the inspection. Many multi-inspection firms believe that anyone can be trained to perform sewer line inspections. They try to get their inspectors out in the field as quickly as possible, whether they are ready or not. However, you as a consumer are taking all the chances. The ability to recognize conditions that may be a problem comes in part from training and experience. No single course, not even a collection of courses, can prepare a person for all of the notable problems that an inspector may come across in the field. An inspection company or inspector that performs cheap and hasty inspections would not qualify as a TRS inspector. Worse, an error can result in catastrophic financial loss or even death.
