Bellaire Home Buyers: Why You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection

Buying a Home in Bellaire? Don’t Skip the Sewer Camera Inspection

Bellaire is one of the most sought-after communities in the Houston area — and for good reason.

Tree-lined streets, charming homes, walkability, and top-tier schools make it a dream for many buyers.

But here’s the deal...

That dream home might have a $10,000 sewer problem hiding underground.

At Red One Plumbing, we’ve seen it way too often — excited buyers close on a home in Southdale, Evergreen, or Bellaire Oaks... only to find out 3 weeks later that the main sewer line is cracked, clogged, or full of roots.

And guess who’s stuck with the bill?

What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

A sewer camera inspection is a simple, affordable process where we run a high-resolution camera into the home’s main drain or sewer line.

We can see:

Cracks or breaks
Tree root intrusion
Sagging (belly) in the pipe
Grease buildup
Rusted or collapsed cast iron

You get:

A full video recording
A clear explanation of the condition
Real info to make a confident decision

‍

Why Bellaire Homes Are High-Risk for Sewer Issues

Here’s why we always recommend an inspection before buying:

Many Bellaire homes are 40+ years old
Tree roots are common and aggressive in this area
Many still have cast iron or clay pipes
Home inspections rarely check underground lines!

‍

What Can Go Wrong Without One?

Without a camera inspection, you could end up with:

$8K–$12K in surprise sewer line repairs
Constant backups in showers, toilets, and sinks
Yard flooding or soggy spots
Delays in moving in or making renovations

‍

What If There’s a Problem?

If we find damage, we’ll provide:

Clear footage of the issue
A detailed repair or replacement plan
Options that make sense for you (no pressure, no upsells)

If everything looks great? Even better — peace of mind is priceless.
