Plumbing Inspection Services in Shreveport, LA
Most plumbing problems start small and out of sight: inside a wall, under a slab, or deep in a sewer line. A professional inspection gives you a clear picture of what is happening before a minor issue turns into a major expense.
Rinchuso's Plumbing and Heating Inc provides inspections for residential and commercial clients throughout Shreveport. From camera inspections of sewer and drain lines to checks on water heaters and backflow devices, we help you understand the condition of your system and plan the right next step.
Why a Plumbing Inspection Is Worth Scheduling
Pipes, fixtures, and appliances wear down with everyday use. Because so much of a plumbing system is hidden, the first sign of trouble is often a slow drain, a damp spot on the floor, or a water heater that can no longer keep up. By the time you notice, the repair may be bigger than it needed to be.
An inspection lets our plumbers catch those issues early. It also takes the guesswork out of repairs, since we can see the problem for ourselves and recommend only the work your system actually needs.
What We Inspect
Our team looks at the parts of a plumbing system that matter most to how your home or building runs:
Sewer and drain lines, using video camera inspection
Standard and tankless water heaters
Backflow prevention assemblies
General plumbing fixtures and piping
Video Camera Inspections
Staying current with plumbing technology is part of how we work, and video camera inspection is a big part of how we diagnose problems. A small waterproof camera on a flexible cable travels through the line and sends live video back to the technician, showing cracks, blockages, root intrusion, and buildup. Because we can see exactly where the trouble is, we avoid unnecessary measures and keep the work within your budget. If the camera finds a clog or heavy buildup, high-velocity water jetting is one of the ways we can clear the line.
Water Heater Inspections
Strange noises, water that never gets hot enough, or an older unit you are unsure about are all good reasons to have your water heater looked at. We inspect standard and tankless models from all major brands. If the inspection shows that a fix or a new unit makes more sense, our water heater repair and replacement services can take it from there.
Backflow Inspections
Backflow devices protect your drinking water, and Louisiana state regulations require recertification tests to confirm they work. We inspect and test these assemblies as part of our backflow testing and recertification work, and we can handle any repair a device needs.
Inspections for Homes and Businesses
For homeowners, an inspection can answer questions about an aging system or a problem that keeps coming back. You get a straight explanation of what we found and what, if anything, needs attention.
For business owners and property managers, regular inspections help keep restrooms, kitchens, and water heaters running without unexpected shutdowns. We work with commercial clients of all kinds and will walk you through any issues we find before recommending repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a video camera inspection work?
A waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable is fed into the drain or sewer line. It sends live video to the technician, who can see the inside of the pipe and pinpoint the location of a crack, clog, or other damage.
Can an inspection lower the cost of a repair?
It can. A camera inspection shows exactly where the problem is in the line, which lets us avoid unnecessary measures and focus the repair on the section that actually needs work.
Do you inspect tankless water heaters?
Yes. We inspect, repair, and install both standard and tankless water heaters, and we work with all major brands.
Are backflow devices included in your inspections?
They can be. Louisiana state regulations require recertification tests on backflow prevention devices, and our team performs those tests along with backflow inspections, repairs, and installation.
