NASSCO-Certified Sewer Inspection in Austin, TX

5.0· 7 verified Austin reviews

NASSCO-certified sewer inspection is what we lead with in Austin - certified operators, calibrated CCTV crawlers, and PACP-coded reports that City permit desks, lenders, and real-estate attorneys accept without a second look. Austin's underground runs the full spectrum, from turn-of-the-century clay laterals under East Austin bungalows to freshly installed PVC in North Austin build-outs, and that range is exactly why a certified sewer scope beats a hand-held camera and a verbal opinion. We run daily for GCs, developers, property managers, and homebuyers across Travis County - downtown high-rises, South Congress commercial, and residential remodels in Tarrytown, Hyde Park, and Zilker.

Common Austin projects

  • NASSCO PACP-coded sewer inspection for real-estate transactions and lender-required reports
  • Root intrusion into aging clay sewer laterals in East and Central Austin neighborhoods
  • Grease line diagnostics and CCTV verification for downtown restaurants and food-service properties
  • Pre-construction utility verification and post-repair sewer scope for dense infill projects
  • Storm drain condition assessments for property refinancing, sales, and City compliance

NASSCO-certified sewer camera inspection in Austin, TX

PACP-coded reports for Austin homebuyers, real-estate agents, and property managers — usually same-day inside Loop 1.

Searching for a sewer camera inspection in Austin before you close on a house? Cavayoo Services runs a color CCTV crawler through the lateral from the cleanout to the city tap, records the full run, and delivers a PACP-coded PDF the same day. Lenders, title companies, and the City of Austin Development Services desk accept our reports without callbacks.

Austin's older neighborhoods — Hyde Park, Travis Heights, Rosedale, Clarksville, Bouldin Creek — still have cast-iron and clay laterals in the 60- to 90-year range. We find the belly, offset joint, or root intrusion before you sign, then hand you a repair scope you can hold a plumber to. In newer builds east of 183, we catch the PVC crushes and construction debris that show up in year one.

Every Austin sewer inspection includes locate-and-mark of the defect from the surface, footage-stamped stills, and a plain-English summary next to the PACP codes so buyers, agents, and inspectors are on the same page.

Common buyer signals we hear from Austin:

  • Buying a home in 78704, 78703, 78751, 78702, or 78745 — cast-iron and clay era
  • Under option period, need a sewer scope report before Day 7
  • Seller disclosure mentions past backups or root cutting
  • 1940s-1970s home with original waste line and no prior camera footage

Why Austin calls Cavayoo

Local differentiators — not a national script

  • Flat-rate pricing quoted in writing before we roll a truck to Austin — no trip fees, no "diagnostic" surprises.
  • Fully insured for commercial and municipal work across Travis County — COIs issued to your GC or property manager the same day.
  • Crews who already know Travis County soils, permitting timelines, and the utility markouts you'll get back from 811 in Austin.
  • Every camera run around Downtown is archived so you can hand the file to a plumber, engineer, or the next owner without re-inspecting.

Old clay lateral in Hyde Park, roots at every joint. They jetted it, ran the camera, and gave us a clean PACP-coded report the City accepted for the tap permit. No back-and-forth.

Austin FAQ

Questions we hear from Austin customers

Do you run CCTV inspections on older clay sewer lines in East and Central Austin?

Constantly. A lot of the pre-1970s homes in Cherrywood, French Place, Bouldin, and Travis Heights still have vitrified clay laterals, and root intrusion at every joint is the norm. We use a push camera for tight residential lines and a crawler for larger municipal work. Every job includes the video plus a written defect log timestamped to distance from the cleanout.

How fast can you respond in downtown Austin for a restaurant grease line backup?

We keep a jetter available for same-day dispatch inside 610 and can typically be on-site within a few hours during business hours. Downtown restaurants along Rainey Street, Congress, and East 6th are our regular customers - we know the alley access, service window rules, and how to avoid disrupting your dinner service.

Can you pothole utilities on infill construction in a dense Austin neighborhood without tearing up the site?

That's exactly what hydro-excavation is for. On tight infill lots in Hyde Park, Zilker, and East Austin we can expose gas, water, and telecom lines within inches of the mark with almost no ground disturbance. Spoils go into the vac tank, not onto the sidewalk, and we can hand-restore the surface when we're done.

Do you work with the City of Austin's development services and inspection requirements?

Yes. We regularly submit CCTV footage and condition reports for City of Austin utility acceptance, TCEQ compliance, and property-transaction due diligence. If your inspector needs a specific format or NASSCO-style coding, tell us up front and we'll deliver it that way.

How do I request a quote for a Austin project?

Send your Austin site address, scope (footage, pipe size, access points), plans or photos and a requested completion date. Call (737) 618-0219, email info@cscundergroundservices.com, or use the quote form on this site - most quotes go out the same business day.

Do you charge a travel or trip fee to Austin?

No standard trip fee for scheduled Austin and Travis County work on a normal route. Rush, after-hours or remote-access mobilizations are quoted transparently up front so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Are you licensed, insured and NASSCO certified for work in Austin?

Yes - Cavayoo Services is fully licensed, insured and NASSCO certified. Certificates of insurance naming your GC, owner or Austin/Travis County agency as additional insured are available on request before mobilization.

How soon can you be on-site in Austin?

Most standard Austin projects are scheduled within 1–3 business days. Same-day and after-hours response is available for active-site emergencies, flooded structures and construction-schedule urgencies - call and we'll dispatch the closest crew.

Do you handle both one-off and recurring work in Austin?

Both. We take single-project calls (a stuck line, a pre-purchase inspection, a utility pothole) and we run scheduled recurring programs - monthly grease-line jetting, quarterly catch basin cleaning, annual storm-system CCTV - for Austin property managers, HOAs, MUDs and facility teams.

Can you coordinate CCTV, jetting, vac-truck and locating on the same Austin mobilization?

Yes - that's the point of running one crew. We routinely combine cleaning, camera inspection, hydro-excavation and private locating on the same Austin visit so you get one schedule, one contact, one invoice and one accountable contractor.

Do you serve Austin, TX?

Yes. Austin is part of our regular service area - we're 20 miles away. Call (737) 618-0219 for a same-day quote.

What underground utility services are available in Austin?

We offer all five core services in Austin: CCTV pipeline inspection, hydro-excavation, pipe jetting, potholing and daylighting, and private line locating.

What does a typical CCTV inspection cost in Austin?

Residential sewer scopes in Austin generally run in the same range as the rest of the Austin metro — we quote a flat price in writing before the truck leaves Cedar Park, based on line length, access, and whether you need PACP coding. Call (737) 618-0219 for a specific quote on your Travis County address.

Can you coordinate with my plumber or GC on a Austin job?

Yes, and we prefer to. In Austin we frequently run inspection ahead of a plumber's repair or a GC's dig so everyone works from the same PACP-coded file. We don't sell the repair, so there's no conflict about what the video shows.

Do you handle commercial and municipal work in Travis County?

We do — lift stations, wet wells, storm drains, grease traps, and pre-construction utility verification on commercial and public sites across Travis County. COIs are issued to your GC or facilities team the same day you book.

How fast can Cavayoo reach a job in Austin?

From our Cedar Park yard we're roughly 20 miles from Austin, so a booked crew is typically on your Travis County property the same day and within a two-hour arrival window. Emergency call-outs after mon–fri 7:00 am – 6:00 pm (after-hours available) are dispatched as soon as a truck is free.

Buying or selling in Austin?

Get a sewer scope inspection before you close on a Austin home.

A standard home inspection stops at the foundation. Our pre-purchase sewer scope runs a color CCTV camera from the cleanout to the city tap so Austin buyers, sellers, and realtors know exactly what shape the lateral is in before money changes hands. You get the video, a written PACP-coded defect log, and a repair-cost estimate the same day - the leverage sheet you need at the negotiation table.

  • Same-day appointments for Austin contract deadlines and option periods.
  • Reports formatted for lenders, insurers, and title companies.
  • Realtor-friendly: we coordinate access with listing agents and tenants.
