What this job usually bills at

$100 to $500

Customers typically pay this range, from the sources below, so you can sanity check your total.

Sample prices, not a quote. Customers typically pay $100 to $500 for a video inspection of a sewer line, and one guide puts an added camera inspection at $100 to $800. The $350 sample is a cleanout run with a video file and locate marks. Pulling a toilet, jetting, or digging is not in these lines.

A video inspection of a sewer line can cost anywhere between $100 and $500.

If the clog is more severe, or your contractor is unsure of the cause, they may do a video inspection for an additional cost of $100 to $800.

What the estimate assumes

Frequently asked questions.

How do plumbers price a sewer camera inspection?

Price the camera and locator, the time on the line, the video, and any locate marks. Published video inspections run about $100 to $500, and an added camera on a clog can run $100 to $800. This sample is $350 from a cleanout.

What should a sewer camera estimate include?

The camera, the locate, a video the customer can keep, and a note on access. Say whether pulling a toilet, jetting, or a repair is included. This sample is inspection only.

How long does a main line camera take?

The sample uses an hour and a half on the lateral plus a short trip. A buried cleanout, a full toilet pull, or a line you cannot pass takes longer.

Should the repair be on the same estimate?

Not until the video shows the break. Keep the camera as its own total so the customer can approve the look before the dig. A spot repair is a second estimate.

Are these prices a real quote?

No. The lines are sample prices so you can see the shape of the estimate. In the app, the estimate follows the job you describe, your answer, and your prices.
