Plumbing Sewage Scope Texas

The amended Plumbing Board rule no longer requires a someone to be licensed as a plumber to scope a sewer line inspections with a camera. However, also discussed was the competency requirement for inspectors. Section 1102.301 of the Occupations Code prohibits an inspector from performing an inspection in a negligent or incompetent manner. While inspectors are not prohibited from going beyond the scope of the SOPs when conducting an inspection, an inspector must still maintain competency when doing so. If it is determined that an inspector conducted a sewer scope incompetently or negligently, TREC could take disciplinary action against the inspector.
