Deals with inspection issues
Why Plumbing Inspections Are Essential in DFW
DFW’s shifting clay soil and aging infrastructure put extra strain on plumbing systems. Foundation movement can break buried lines, while hard water and corrosion weaken supply systems over time.
Our plumbing inspections identify:
Active leaks or water pressure inconsistencies
Corroded or outdated piping (galvanized, cast iron, etc.)
Improper drainage slope or slow drains
Failing water heaters or pressure relief valves
Leaky fixtures and connections
Signs of moisture intrusion under sinks, floors, and walls
Even new construction can hide plumbing shortcuts — a missed vent or poor drain slope can cause years of trouble later.
Comprehensive Plumbing Inspection Services
Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspections
Before buying, our full system evaluation identifies hidden issues and repair costs so you can negotiate confidently.
Homeowner Maintenance Inspections
Regular plumbing inspections detect wear, leaks, or buildup before they cause serious water or foundation damage.
Drain & Sewer Line Evaluation
We assess drain flow and slope, noting blockages or potential tree root intrusion that can restrict performance.
Water Heater & Fixture Check
We verify installation, operation, and safety compliance for all water heaters, supply lines, and fixtures.
Builder Warranty & New Construction Plumbing Checks
Our inspectors confirm correct installation, venting, and drainage during and after construction — ensuring compliance before the builder warranty ends.
Local Expertise That Makes a Difference
Sentinel’s inspectors know the DFW market inside and out — from the slab foundations of Fort Worth to the attic ventilation systems in Frisco. Our deep local knowledge helps identify region-specific issues like:
Foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils
Attic heat buildup and roof deterioration
Drainage and grading problems from heavy storms
Aging HVAC systems common in older Dallas suburbs
We tailor every inspection to the area’s unique housing styles, from historic properties in Arlington Heights to new builds in Prosper.
The Sentinel Shield 360™ Plumbing Process
Plumbing issues aren’t always visible — that’s why our Sentinel Shield 360™ process combines visual inspection, advanced diagnostics, and moisture detection for total accuracy.
1. Visual & Functional Testing
We test all accessible fixtures, faucets, and drains to ensure proper flow and water pressure.
2. Moisture & Leak Detection
Infrared cameras and moisture meters reveal hidden leaks behind walls or under floors before damage spreads.
3. Drain Flow & Slope Analysis
We use advanced tools to confirm proper drainage performance throughout the system.
4. Water Heater & Pressure Testing
We verify correct temperature, relief valve function, and tank condition to ensure safety and efficiency.
5. Same-Day Digital Reporting
Every plumbing inspection includes a clear, photo-documented report showing priority issues, recommendations, and system health ratings.
Sentinel Shield 360™ turns every inspection into a complete protection system for your investment and peace of mind.
