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.
