From older East Austin bungalows to new construction in the Cedar Park and Leander corridors — NovaScope knows Central Texas homes. One visit, same-day report, every time.
NovaScope serves Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, and Burnet counties — covering the full Austin metro, the south and east corridors, the Hill Country to the west, and select outer-area communities.
Don't see your city? Call — if it's in the greater Austin area or Hill Country corridor, we likely cover it.
Older Central Austin — Hyde Park, Travis Heights, East Austin, Brentwood, and the inner-ring suburbs carry significant housing stock from the 1950s through the 1980s. Cast iron drain lines, foundation movement, and aging systems are common. A standard visual inspection leaves real questions unanswered on these homes.
New-construction corridors — Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, Kyle, Buda, Jarrell, Liberty Hill, and Taylor have been among the fastest-growing areas in the country. Buyers closing on new builds — and owners approaching their 12-month builder warranty — are a core part of what we do in Austin.
NovaScope also covers the south corridor through San Marcos, the Hill Country reach into Marble Falls, and select outer-area communities including Killeen. The scope and same-day report are the same wherever we go. What changes is the focus.
Homes in Hyde Park, Travis Heights, East Austin, South Congress, and similar neighborhoods frequently have original cast iron sewer lines and slab-on-grade foundations that have shifted over decades. Sewer scope and Zip Level are strongly recommended.
Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, and the I-35 North corridor are among the most active new-construction areas in Texas. 11-month warranty inspections are especially common here — book between months 8–11 before builder coverage closes.
Kyle, Buda, and San Marcos have all seen rapid suburban expansion. Mixed-age neighborhoods are common — a new subdivision may sit next to 1970s homes. San Marcos in particular carries a range of housing stock from older university-era construction to newer suburban builds. Coverage area and inspection scope apply throughout.
All services completed in one visit. Same-day report every time.
For Austin-area buyers currently under contract. Three packages — Base, Texas Buyer, and Older Home / Foundation. Thermal imaging and irrigation included in every bundle. WDI, sewer scope, and Zip Level available based on the home's age and condition.
For homeowners in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Hutto, Kyle, and other high-growth suburbs approaching the end of their builder's 1-year warranty. Book between months 8–11 — before coverage closes.
For Austin sellers preparing to list. Know your home's condition before buyers do — supports pricing confidence and reduces the risk of renegotiations when the buyer's inspector arrives.
Much of Central Austin's most desirable housing stock predates 1986 — the year material standards shifted for residential drain lines and electrical systems. A standard visual inspection doesn't show what's inside a cast iron drain line or how much a slab has moved.
The Older Home / Foundation Bundle adds sewer scope and Zip Level to the full buyer inspection — actual data on drain condition and slab movement, not just what's visible from the surface.

Precise elevation readings across the slab surface — quantifies movement that a visual inspection can identify but not measure. Gives buyers and their agents a data point for negotiating or prioritizing repairs.
Wood-destroying insect inspection — commonly requested by buyers, agents, and some lenders in Central Texas transactions. Included in the Texas Buyer and Older Home bundles.
Austin option periods are short. Your report is delivered the same day — ready for your agent before your window closes.
Infrared scanning included in every buyer bundle at no extra charge. Identifies moisture, insulation gaps, and hidden concerns not visible to the eye.
Every report includes a plain-language recap of the five major systems — foundation, roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical — so you and your agent can act quickly.
From the urban core to the outer suburbs — Travis, Williamson, Hays, and Bastrop counties. One inspector, consistent standards across the full metro.
