New Home Video Inspection
Buying a new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make—don’t let hidden plumbing issues turn your dream home into a costly repair project. At Affordable Drains, our New Home Video Inspection service gives you a clear, detailed view inside the property’s sewer and plumbing lines before you close.
Why a Sewer & Plumbing Inspection Matters
Traditional home inspections typically don’t include a full evaluation of underground sewer lines. Without a video inspection, problems like root intrusion, pipe cracks, or blockages can go unnoticed until it’s too late.
Our video inspection provides:
Real-time HD footage of the plumbing system
Identification of hidden issues like cracks, corrosion, blockages, and roots
Documentation to support negotiations or repair requests
Peace of mind before committing to a major purchase

Homebuyers purchasing older homes or properties with mature trees
Real estate agents seeking added value for their clients
Investors buying rental or flip properties
Homeowners before warranty periods end
