Plumbing Inspection in Chattanooga & North Georgia
Know the Condition of Your Plumbing
Most plumbing problems start small: a corroding valve, a slow drip inside a wall, a water heater past its prime or a sewer line slowly filling with roots. A professional plumbing inspection catches these early, when repairs are planned rather than emergencies.
Metro's inspection covers the parts of your system that matter most: the water heater, visible supply and drain lines, shut-off valves, fixtures, water pressure and the connections at gas plumbing appliances. For older homes, homes with mature trees and pre-purchase inspections, we recommend adding a sewer camera inspection.
When we're done, we walk you through what we found in plain language, separating what's urgent from what can wait, with upfront pricing for any repairs you choose.

You're Selling a Home

Your Home Is Older
Homes over 30 or 40 years old often have original pipes, valves and drains nearing the end of their life.
Small Problems Keep Recurring
Repeated clogs, drips or leaks can point to a bigger underlying issue.
Your Water Bill Is Climbing
Rising water bills without a change in use are a reason to check for hidden leaks.

Transparent, Upfront Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Plumbing Inspection?
Plumbing inspection cost depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms and fixtures, and how much of the system you want evaluated. A standard visual and functional inspection is a single visit; adding a sewer camera inspection or checking a septic system adds time and equipment.
We tell you exactly what's included and give you an upfront price when you book.
You always get the price before any work begins. Financing is available for qualified customers on larger jobs.
Expert Tip From Metro's Master-Certified Team
Know the Age of Your Equipment
Most water heaters have a label showing the manufacture date, often encoded in the serial number. Knowing the age of your water heater, HVAC system and main pipes helps you plan replacements and budget before something fails, instead of after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is happy to help, day or night.
(423) 855-0967What does a plumbing inspection cover?
Water heater condition and age, supply lines and shut-off valves, fixtures and drains, visible pipe material and condition, water pressure, signs of leaks, and gas connections at plumbing appliances.
Should I get one before buying a home?
Yes. A general home inspection is broad. A plumbing-focused inspection goes deeper, and adding a sewer camera inspection can reveal costly problems before you close.
How often should I have my plumbing inspected?
Many homeowners schedule one every year or two, especially in older homes or after buying a house.
Will you explain what you find?
Yes. We explain what we found, what's urgent, what can wait and what each repair would cost, so you can plan.
Should I add a sewer camera inspection?
It's strongly recommended for older homes, homes with mature trees and before buying. A camera shows cracks, root intrusion and sags in the sewer line.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Our Home Care Club includes priority service and is free for veterans and active-duty service members. Ask us about current benefits.
