High-Definition Sewer & Drain Camera Inspection

$250.00

A professional video camera inspection is the ultimate diagnostic tool, allowing us to see inside your sewer lines in real-time to identify the exact cause of recurring backups. This non-invasive process pinpoints structural issues like root intrusion, pipe collapses, or heavy scale buildup without the need for exploratory digging. By providing you with high-definition footage of your pipes, we eliminate the guesswork and ensure we are fixing the root of the problem rather than just applying a temporary band-aid.

What You Gain:

  • Total Transparency: We show you the live feed of your pipes so you can see the condition for yourself and make informed decisions based on facts, not estimates.

  • Pipe Longevity: By identifying minor cracks or shifts early, you can perform targeted repairs that extend the life of your plumbing and avoid a total system collapse.

  • Preventative Insight: After the inspection, we can identify exactly where debris or roots entered, giving you the chance to seal the pipe and stop problems from coming back.

In the Oak Lawn and broader Chicago area, a high-definition sewer and drain camera inspection typically costs between $180 and $710. While a basic visual check can start as low as $125, homeowners requiring high-resolution video and professional recording for insurance or real estate purposes should expect to pay an average of $350 to $600.

Estimated Costs by Inspection Type

The technology and documentation provided are the main factors in the final price:

Standard Camera: Basic visual inspection; often no recording.$180 – $350

HD Camera: High-resolution video; often includes a report/USB.$350 – $710

Specialty Camera: 360-degree, self-leveling, or for complex pipes.$710 – $1,770+

Independent Scope: Often for home inspections or real estate.$450 – $550

Key Cost Factors

  • Accessibility: Prices remain lower if the technician can use an existing outdoor cleanout. If a toilet must be removed to access the line, expect to pay an additional $185–$250 for the labor.

  • Pipe Length: Standard inspections cover lines between 50 and 100 feet. For large homes or long commercial runs exceeding 100 feet, costs often jump to $470–$940.

  • Add-On Services: Digital recording or detailed written reports can add $50 to $150 to a basic quote. Emergency or after-hours inspections typically incur an extra $100 to $300 surcharge.

Pro-Tip: Get a free camera inspection when bundled with a full drain cleaning or sewer rodding service (often starting around $83–$99). This is a great way to verify the line is completely clear after a cleaning at no extra cost.
