Cost guide
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in the Seattle area?
What decides the price of a sewer scope in Seattle — access, line length, locating and a written report — and when an inspection is part of a free estimate.
The short answer
A sewer scope is priced by how the camera gets into the line, how far it has to travel, whether the line is located and marked from above, and what you need afterward — a recording, a written report for a home sale, or a repair estimate.
Your number
Your price comes from your line — not a chart
We'd rather give you a real number than a range that doesn't fit your property. The estimate is free: we look at what your job actually needs and put every viable option in writing with its price.
- Camera inspection — Scope of the side sewer with recording
- Inspection with locate — Line located and marked from the surface
What sets the price
The cost of sewer camera inspection comes down to these.
Access
An exterior cleanout is the simplest entry; without one the camera may go in through a toilet or vent.
Line length
Longer side sewers take longer to scope fully.
Locating
Marking where the line and any defects sit on the surface takes a locator and extra time — and is what makes a repair estimate precise.
What you need afterward
A homebuyer's report, a recording for a second opinion, or a repair estimate are different deliverables.
What you're paying for
Compare scope, not just the total
