Real Estate Inspections That Come With Proof
Know what the house is hiding before you sign.
Sewer scopes recorded on video, whole-home plumbing inspections, and HVAC system inspections — every finding documented in writing and with pictures, so buyers, sellers, and agents negotiate from evidence instead of guesses.
Why inspections belong in every Tucson deal
A general home inspection looks at a lot of things briefly. The systems that produce the expensive surprises — the sewer line under the slab, the plumbing behind the walls, the AC that has survived a decade of Tucson summers — deserve their own specialist look.
We inspect them the way we do all of our work: with instruments, and with documentation you keep. No guessing. We're testing.
What we inspect
- Sewer scope — a camera down the line, recorded, and you get the video. Root intrusion, bellies, and breaks are found before closing, not after the first backup.
- Whole-home plumbing inspection — water heater, supply lines, drains, fixtures, and water pressure measured with real tools.
- HVAC inspection — the system's actual condition and performance, documented, with photos of what we find.

HVAC and plumbing inspection questions for Tucson buyers
Ask about more than whether the thermostat turns the equipment on. A technician typically checks airflow, filter and coil condition, and how the system responds during operation. Tucson's long cooling season, March into October, makes those details worth discussing. Desert dust and monsoon silt load outdoor coils and filters; ask whether a finding calls for cleaning or a repair.
On the plumbing side, ask about visible pipe material and signs of leakage or mineral buildup. Tucson's hard water leaves scale on fixtures and water-heating elements. In an older home, ask whether accessible piping gives reason to investigate further, rather than treating fresh paint and new faucets as evidence that the plumbing underneath was replaced.
Confirm the inspection scope before booking, including anything that needs a separate assessment. For a property in Picture Rocks or outlying Marana, ask the seller whether it uses a well or septic system. Do not assume an HVAC or plumbing inspection includes those systems. The price goes in writing before work starts.
When to schedule an inspection during escrow
Plan backward from the inspection-period deadline with your agent, not just the closing date. Leave room to review findings, ask follow-up questions, and obtain repair pricing before you need to decide what to request from the seller. Ask your agent to confirm the dates and notice requirements in your contract.
Before the appointment, coordinate property access through your agent and ask what needs to be accessible for testing. Share the general inspector's concerns and any seller-provided service records ahead of time. If something cannot be inspected, ask what remains unknown and whether another assessment is needed before your deadline.
