How Much Does a Sewer Inspection Cost?
In most markets, a professional sewer camera inspection costs between $150 and $500. Some companies charge more if there is no cleanout, if a toilet has to be removed, if the line is difficult to access, or if locating services are added.
The Sewer Inspection Company keeps the offer simple: $89 for a one-way lateral sewer inspection with a narrated YouTube video and Certified Master Plumber Report.
| Inspection Type | Typical Market Cost | The Sewer Inspection Company |
|---|---|---|
| Standard sewer camera inspection | $150–$500 | $89 one-way lateral inspection |
| Inspection time | 30–60 minutes | Typically 30–60 minutes |
| Video included | Sometimes | Yes — narrated YouTube video |

Why the $89 Inspection Is Valuable
Sewer repairs can cost thousands of dollars. A small camera inspection fee can help reveal roots, bellies, offsets, pipe separations, collapsed sections, cast iron deterioration, foreign-object obstructions, or standing water before the buyer owns the problem.
I have personally seen buyers discover major sewer issues during the option period. The home looked clean, the toilets flushed, and the seller believed everything was fine. But the camera showed the truth underground. That is why this inspection matters.
