Protect Your Biggest Investment
See Inside Your Pipes with a Video Plumbing Inspection
Many potential plumbing problems remain hidden from view, lurking deep within your walls or under your foundation. Issues like minor leaks, early-stage corrosion, or encroaching tree roots can develop silently, leading to catastrophic failures, water damage, and expensive emergency repairs down the road. Without a professional inspection, you are left guessing about the true condition of your plumbing system.
At Boston Standard, we provide comprehensive plumbing inspections for homeowners throughout the Boston area, including in communities like Cambridge and Brookline. Using advanced video camera technology, our expert plumbers can travel deep into your sewer and drain lines to identify existing and potential issues with precision. This proactive approach gives you a clear understanding of your plumbing’s health, empowering you to make informed decisions and prevent disasters before they happen.

Avoid Costly Surprises
Prevent Future Plumbing Disasters
One of the greatest benefits of a professional plumbing inspection is the power to prevent future emergencies. Many of the most destructive plumbing problems, such as sewer backups or burst pipes, start as small, undetectable issues. A hidden crack, a growing blockage, or invasive tree roots can compromise your system over time, leading to sudden and severe water damage that requires costly and disruptive repairs.
Our video camera inspections act as an early warning system. By identifying these hidden threats early, we allow you to address them proactively. A simple pipe relining or root clearing service today can prevent a full-scale sewer line replacement tomorrow. This foresight not only protects the structural integrity of your home but also saves you significant money and stress.
Buy & Sell with Confidence
An Essential Tool for Real Estate Transactions
A standard home inspection offers a surface-level view, but it often misses the critical condition of the underground sewer and drain lines. For both buyers and sellers in the competitive Boston real estate market, a specialized plumbing inspection provides crucial information that can make or break a deal and prevent future financial disputes.
For homebuyers, an inspection uncovers any pre-existing plumbing issues before you sign the closing papers. This knowledge allows you to negotiate repairs with the seller or walk away from a property that could become a money pit. It ensures you won’t be inheriting someone else’s expensive plumbing problems, providing confidence and security in your new home purchase.

Your Questions, Answered
Plumbing Inspection FAQs
We understand you may have questions about the plumbing inspection process. To help you make an informed decision, we have compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive from our customers in the Boston area.
What is a video plumbing inspection?
A video plumbing inspection uses a waterproof, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible rod. The rod is inserted into your pipes, allowing our technicians to see the interior of your sewer and drain lines in real-time on a monitor. This helps us accurately identify blockages, cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, and other issues without any excavation.
How often should I have my plumbing inspected?
We recommend a professional plumbing inspection every 1 to 2 years for routine maintenance. You should also schedule an inspection if you’re experiencing persistent drain issues, planning a major renovation, or buying a new home.
Can an inspection find leaks?
While our camera inspection is designed to identify the source of many leaks within drain and sewer lines (like cracks or joint separations), it is not used for pressurized water supply lines. For those, we offer specialized leak detection services.
How long does a plumbing inspection take?
A typical residential plumbing inspection can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of your plumbing system. We take the time needed to be thorough and ensure we get a complete view of your lines.
Is a plumbing inspection necessary when buying a home?
Absolutely. A standard home inspection rarely covers the condition of underground sewer lines. A specialized plumbing inspection can uncover thousands of dollars in potential required repairs, giving you crucial leverage during negotiations and preventing you from inheriting a major problem.
