main drain lines inspection
Explanation:
Not necessarily underground, can also be located in basements of buildings...

"Branch drain lines run horizontally (though with a slight downward slope) to connect each of the fixture drain traps to soil stacks, which in turn will lead to main drain lines."

It's also the drain line that connects the building's total drainage to the main sewer, but not yet part of the sewage line itself...

"The end point of your home's drainage system is the municipal sewer main. Your home's main drain line runs perpendicular into the sewer main, angled downward to promote the flow of waste." [same link as above]

disagree  Alexander Schleber (X): If anything, then a "sewer line inspection", as indicated by your link.

disagree  Anna Augustin: I don't think this fits the context to be honest. And yes, if anything, it's sewer line inspection.

neutral  Steffen Walter: This does fit the context. See https://www.baunetzwissen.de/glossar/g/grundleitungen-244430... (my "neutral" vote because your answer includes a spelling mistake - it's "sewer" rather than "sever").

neutral  Chris Pr: Go ahead and correct the spelling in a new entry and then delete this one..? :)

agree  Steffen Walter: Yes, it's about the main drain from the building into the sewer, so your suggestion obviously hits the mark. I'd use the singular "line", though, or omit "line" altogether and just put "main drain inspection".
