Additional Services
We dig deeper, so you don’t have to deal with surprises later
Your home is a system of systems — and we believe in inspecting beyond the standard checklist. From underground sewer lines to backyard pools, sprinkler heads to septic tanks, we offer a full suite of add-on services to give you a complete picture of your property. These specialized inspections help you uncover hidden issues, protect your investment, and plan smarter for the future.
Wood Destroying Insect (Termite) Inspections
Through our trusted partner, we coordinate a licensed termite inspection to identify current infestations or signs of past damage — essential in the Southeast Texas climate.
Water Well Inspections
We assess well components, check flow rate, and inspect visible equipment to ensure your private water source is working properly.
Sewer Camera Scope
Using a high-resolution camera, we visually inspect your main sewer line for blockages, root intrusion, or pipe damage — issues often missed in a standard inspection.
Septic System Inspections
We inspect septic tanks and drain fields for signs of backup, improper function, or wear — critical for homes not on city sewer.
Swimming Pool / Spa Inspections
We evaluate your pool or spa’s structure, circulation system, safety features, and functionality — so you can enjoy it without worry.
Landscape Irrigation Inspections
We test coverage zones, valves, heads, and control systems to identify leaks or inefficiencies that could damage your lawn or drive up your water bill.
