Know What’s Underground, Before You Buy.

Sewer Camera Inspection Cost: Simple, Flat-Rate Pricing

Every sewer camera inspection we do is offered on a flat-rate pricing model. That means you know the exact price before we ever show up. No per-foot meter running while we work, no hourly clock, and no “well, now that we see what is down there” adjustment at the end. One price, agreed up front, every time.

If you want to see what an inspection actually shows for that price, our Ultimate Guide to Sewer Inspection Videos has real footage of clean lines and lines full of roots, bellies, and cast iron damage.

What “Flat Rate” Actually Means

• No per-foot pricing. Whether your line runs twenty feet or eighty feet to the city main, the price does not change.
• No upcharge on findings. We charge the same whether the line is spotless or a disaster. Our pay does not go up because your news got worse, so you can trust what you are hearing.
• Price known before you book. You get the number on the phone or when you schedule online, not after the work is done.
• The recording is included. You keep the video either way. It is part of the flat rate, not an add-on.

What’s Included in Your Flat Rate

One price covers the whole job:

• A full camera run of the building sewer from the cleanout to the city connection.
• High-resolution video of the entire line, recorded start to finish.
• Location of any defect we find, so you know where it sits and how deep.
• A plain-English explanation of what you are looking at, with no upsell pressure.
• A copy of the recording to keep, share with your agent, or hand to a plumber for a bid.

Why We Don’t Do Per-Foot or “It Depends” Pricing

Per-foot and hourly pricing put you and the inspector on opposite sides. The longer it takes and the more that turns up, the more you pay. Flat rate flips that. We are paid the same no matter what, so the only thing we are focused on is getting you a clear, honest look at the line. That is exactly the incentive you want from the person telling you whether a house has a sewer problem.

When the Inspection Pays for Itself

A sewer camera inspection is one of the cheapest line items in a home purchase, and it routinely saves buyers thousands. A single root-choked or broken line can mean a five-figure repair. Catching it before closing turns that into a repair credit, a price reduction, or a deal you walk away from. The flat-rate fee is small. The downside it protects you from is not.
