What does a plumbing inspection in Tulsa check? We start with the floor drains and condensate lines for your HVAC unit, because they clog and can flood a house. Then we check every shutoff valve under your fixtures for calcium and rust, test everything, and offer camera inspections of your sewer and drain lines. A whole-home plumbing inspection starts at $283.
Start with condensate drains
The first thing I check is your floor drains for your HVAC units and condensate lines because bacteria and sludge build up, and those drains easily clog. I've seen them flood entire houses.
Check shutoff valves
We'll go around and check all your shutoff valves under your fixtures, because they're tucked away where people don't look at them. They'll start calcifying and rusting, and then they'll slowly drip.
Use cameras for sewer and drain lines
We offer camera inspections of your sewer line and drain lines to make sure there's nothing clogged or obstructing them.
Sump Pump Installation
Sump pump installation and replacement to keep basements and crawl spaces dry during Oklahoma storms, including check valves and proper discharge.

Slow drips and insurance, explained by Michael
"First thing I check is your floor drains for your HVAC units for your condensate lines, 'cause the condensate builds up, like a bacteria builds up sludge, and those drains easily clog and they've seen them flood entire houses."
Then the shutoff valves: "They'll start calcifying and rusting, and then they'll start slowly dripping. And that slow drip turns into a flood and mold. And then once mold's involved, your insurance will deny you because it wasn't a sudden event." It happened over a period of time, and insurance calls that negligence.

Straight Answers
What do you check during a plumbing inspection?
During a plumbing inspection, we start with your floor drains for HVAC units and condensate lines since bacteria and sludge buildup can clog them and even flood a house, then we check all the shutoff valves under your fixtures, test everything for proper function, and also offer camera inspections of your sewer and drain lines to check for clogs or obstructions.
Why check condensate drains?
We check condensate drains first because bacteria and sludge build up easily there, clogging the drains, and we've seen that cause entire houses to flood.
What happens with shutoff valves?
We check every shutoff valve under your fixtures since they're often tucked out of sight, which lets calcifying, rusting, and slow dripping go unnoticed.
Do you offer sewer and drain camera inspections?
Yes, we offer camera inspections of your sewer and drain lines to check for clogs or obstructions.
How much does a plumbing inspection cost?
A whole-home plumbing inspection starts at $283. A water pressure test starts at $199, a shower pan test starts at $203, and a gas pressure test starts at $477. Your exact flat-rate price is quoted upfront before any work starts.
Why should I fix a slow drip under a sink?
A slow drip can turn into a flood and mold. Once mold is involved, insurance can deny the claim because it wasn't a sudden event.
What color is a City of Tulsa inspection sticker?
On permitted work, Tulsa's inspection sticker is black and white. Suburbs use a green sticker.
Can a camera inspection find problems in a new home?
Yes. On a brand-new Tulsa home our camera found a belly under the dining room and a separation in the yard line, and a hydrostatic test checked the drain lines.
