Real estate inspections
Plumbing inspections for Omaha real estate
Buying, selling or investing in a home? A dedicated plumbing and sewer line inspection from a licensed plumber shows what a general home inspection can miss, before you close.
Why do I need a dedicated plumbing inspection?
A whole-house inspector looks at a lot of things, but is usually not a licensed plumber and does not run a camera through the sewer line. A plumbing inspection looks closely at the water heater, supply lines, drains, fixtures, shutoffs and gas lines, and tells you what needs attention now and what can wait.
Levels of inspection: finding the right fit
Micro Plumbing offers inspections at different levels, from a visual overview of the plumbing up to a full inspection that includes a camera inspection of the sewer line. Pick the level that fits the house and the deal.
The case for a home sewer line inspection
The sewer line from the house to the street is out of sight and costly to replace. In older Omaha neighborhoods it may be clay or cast iron, and tree roots, cracks, sags and collapsed sections are common. A sewer camera inspection shows its condition on video before you own it.
Who benefits from a plumbing inspection?
Buyers who want to know what they are getting. Sellers who want no surprises in negotiations. Real estate agents who want a reliable plumber to call, and investors buying older rentals.

Questions about real estate inspections
Why would I need a separate plumbing inspection when I am already getting a whole-house inspection?
Because most home inspectors are not licensed plumbers and do not camera the sewer line. A plumbing inspection is a closer look by someone who repairs plumbing for a living.
Does a newer home need a sewer inspection?
It is less likely to have problems, but roots, settling and construction debris can still damage a newer line. If there are big trees near the line, it is worth a look.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
You get a plain explanation of the problem and what fixing it involves, which you can use in your negotiations or plan for after closing.
