Real Feedback From Recent Inspections

★★★★★

"Greg found a significant crack in the foundation we never would have caught on our own. We used the report to negotiate $8,000 off the purchase price. Absolutely worth every penny and would book again."

Shelby R., Austin
★★★★★

"Same day report, received it a few hours after the inspection. Clear photos, clear explanations, and my clients knew exactly what they were dealing with before the option period closed. Jon was a great help with communication and scheduling throughout the whole process. Will keep referring."

Jesse S., Keller Williams
★★★★★

"Super thorough and professional. Vincent caught a slow roof leak above the master bedroom that wasn't visible to the eye but the thermal camera picked it right up. The sewer scope also flagged root intrusion and we had no idea. The whole team was great and Jon was excellent with communication and scheduling from start to finish. Saved us from a nightmare."

Jacob S., Frisco

Don't Let the Builder Warranty Window Close Without an Inspection

New homes in Austin and DFW come with a builder's 1-year warranty — but most buyers never use it because they don't have an inspection documenting what needs to be addressed before the window closes.

NovaScope's 11-Month Warranty Inspection identifies items that are still the builder's responsibility, documented in a format that's easy to submit and act on before your coverage expires.

Starting at $299

Common in Austin Suburbs

Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, Kyle, and Buda have seen significant new-build activity. Many buyers in these areas approach their first anniversary without scheduling a warranty inspection.

Common in DFW Growth Markets

Frisco, McKinney, Celina, Prosper, and Little Elm are among the fastest-growing new-build markets in the country. Builder warranty coverage is often underused in these areas.

Same Report Standards

The 11-Month Warranty Inspection uses the same same-day reporting format as NovaScope's buyer inspections — clear findings, photos, and recommendations your builder can act on.

Know What Buyers Will Find — Before They Do

A pre-listing inspection gives sellers a clear picture of their home's condition before buyers and their inspectors arrive. Price with confidence, decide what to address on your own terms, and reduce the chance of renegotiations during the option period.

Available in Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth. Same-day report format — ready for you and your agent the day of inspection.

Available in the Same Visit

Each of the following can be added to any buyer bundle and completed during the same appointment — one invoice. Thermal imaging and irrigation are included in all bundles at no extra charge.

Sewer Scope

Camera inspection of the lateral drain line — the only way to see deterioration, root intrusion, and under-slab conditions before closing. Recommended for homes built in 1986 or earlier. Learn more →

Add-On · Pre-1986 Recommended

WDI / Termite Inspection

Identifies visible evidence of termites and wood-destroying insects. Frequently requested by buyers, agents, and lenders in Texas transactions.

Add-On

Zip Level Foundation Survey

Objective elevation readings across the slab — measurable foundation context beyond a visual inspection. Often paired with sewer scope on older homes. Does not replace a structural engineer.

Add-On

Pool / Spa Inspection

Covers visible condition of the pool or spa structure, equipment, and safety features — fencing, gates, and drain covers. Completed in the same visit as your home inspection.

Add-On

Septic Inspection

For properties on an onsite septic system. Covers accessible components — tank area and visible drainage field. Scope varies by system; pump-out or dye testing requires a licensed septic contractor.

Why Buyers Pair Sewer Scope With Zip Level

On homes built in 1986 or earlier, these two add-ons give buyers the most useful picture of what's happening below the surface.

Sewer Scope — What's Inside the Buried Drain Line

A camera inspection of the lateral drain line shows actual pipe condition — deterioration, root intrusion, blockages, and under-slab conditions a standard inspection cannot see. For homes with original or partially replaced cast iron lines, this is the only way to know what's there before closing.

Zip Level — Elevation Differences Across the Slab

Objective elevation readings across the home's floors. In Texas markets where slab movement, drainage concerns, and aging under-slab plumbing can all matter, Zip Level adds measurable context beyond a visual inspection. Does not replace a licensed structural engineer when engineer-level evaluation is needed.

Both are included in the Older Home / Foundation Bundle and can be added individually to any inspection package. Read more about sewer scope →

Common Questions

The same day — typically within a few hours of the inspection completing. Book your inspection →
Yes. Buyers are encouraged to attend. Your inspector will walk through every finding in person so you leave with a clear picture, not just a PDF.
Homes built in 1986 or earlier are more likely to have original cast iron drain lines, which can deteriorate over time. Cast iron corrosion, root intrusion, and under-slab deterioration are not visible during a standard inspection — only a camera inspection of the sewer line can show the actual condition. Read more about sewer scope →
The transitional period generally refers to homes built after the cast iron era but before modern PVC drain lines became standard throughout. These homes may have mixed drain materials or partially updated sections — making sewer scope still worth considering.
The 11-Month Warranty Inspection is designed for new-build homeowners approaching the end of their builder's 1-year warranty coverage. NovaScope inspects the home and documents items that may still be the builder's responsibility — giving you a clear, usable report to submit before the window closes. Learn more →
Sewer scope shows what is happening inside the buried drain line. Zip Level provides objective elevation readings across the slab. On older homes, both can be useful at the same time — one for cast iron and drain knowledge, one for slab-related context. Both are included in the Older Home / Foundation Bundle.
No. Zip Level adds useful slab-related context to an inspection, but does not replace a licensed structural engineer's evaluation. If your inspection reveals signs of significant foundation movement, a structural engineer is the right next step.
A WDI (wood-destroying insect) inspection looks for visible evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects. It's one of the most common add-ons for Texas real estate transactions and is frequently required by buyers, agents, and lenders.
Yes. Sewer scope, WDI, Zip Level, and irrigation inspection are all completed during the same visit and billed on one invoice. The Older Home / Foundation Bundle includes all of them. See bundles →
