Prices from 7 Georgia home inspectors
This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
The inspector feeds a camera on a cable into the main sewer line, usually through a cleanout, and records the video as it travels toward the city connection or the septic tank. The video can show roots, cracks, sags where water sits, separated joints and buildup. You usually get the recording along with notes on what was seen and where.
A sewer scope from a home inspector is a look, not a repair, and it does not clear a clog. A plumber's camera inspection uses similar equipment, but it usually starts with a drain problem already on the table and can lead straight to a repair quote. The inspector's scope reports the line's condition to a buyer before closing. For a home on septic, the scope covers the line to the tank, not the tank or the drain field.
What moves the price
- How the camera gets in
- A cleanout outside or in the basement is the easiest way in. With no cleanout, some inspectors pull a toilet to get in and others will not scope the line at all, so ask before you book. The extra work can raise the price.
- Bends and connections
- Bends, a change in pipe size or a joint where the line meets another can slow the camera or stop it short, and a scope that takes more work to finish can cost more.
- Blockages in the line
- If the camera cannot get past a clog or a collapse, the inspector may stop and report it. Clearing the line first is a plumbing job with its own charge.
- Video you can keep
- Some inspectors include the recording and others charge for a copy. Having it can let a plumber price a repair without scoping the line again.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each home inspector before you compare prices:
- If the house has no cleanout, will you still scope the line, and what does that cost?
- Will I get a copy of the video to keep?
- If the camera hits a blockage, do you still charge the full price?
- Does the scope stop at the property line, the city connection or the septic tank?
- What does the scope cost on its own compared with adding it to the inspection?
