What A Sewer Camera Inspection Costs
A sewer camera inspection sends a CCTV camera down the line to reveal cracks, roots, offsets, and collapse that no surface check can see. Prodigy charges $150 for a standalone inspection, and waives it entirely when you book a repair or service. For home buyers, a focused $99 real-estate sewer scope answers the one question that matters before closing.
Sewer Camera Inspection & Scope Pricing
| Inspection Type | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard sewer camera inspection | $150 (free with any booked repair or service) | Current owners troubleshooting a backup or recurring issue |
| Real-estate / pre-purchase sewer scope | $99 (real-estate / pre-purchase special) | Buyers verifying line condition before closing |
NASSCO/PACP-standard CCTV with recorded footage handed to you on every inspection.
When Is The Inspection Free?
The $150 standalone inspection is free whenever you proceed with the work, because the diagnosis is part of the job. In practice that means:
- Free with any booked repair - if the scope finds the problem and you have us fix it, you are not charged separately for the camera work.
- Free with any booked service - including drain cleaning, where a free post-clean camera check is already standard.
- Charged ($150) only as a standalone diagnostic where no work is booked - competitors typically charge $150-$400 for this either way.
- Real-estate sewer scope is a flat $99 because it is a focused, standalone pre-purchase product.
Why The Footage Matters
The recorded inspection is how we determine the correct fix - we never quote a trenchless sewer repair without seeing inside the pipe first. Because we inspect to NASSCO/PACP standards, the footage holds up for real-estate, insurance, and warranty purposes. See full pricing for repairs in our trenchless sewer repair cost guide.
Sewer Camera Inspection Cost - Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Tennessee?
A standalone sewer camera inspection with Prodigy is $150, and it is free when you book any repair or service, because the diagnosis is built into the job.
How much is a sewer scope for a home purchase?
Our real-estate / pre-purchase sewer scope is $99. It is a focused inspection that tells a buyer the true condition of the sewer line before closing, often saving far more than its cost.
When is the camera inspection free?
The $150 inspection is waived whenever you proceed with a booked repair or service. So if the scope reveals a problem and you have us fix it, you are not charged separately for the camera work.
What's the difference between a $99 scope and a $150 inspection?
The $99 sewer scope is a real-estate / pre-purchase special focused on a buyer's go/no-go decision. The $150 inspection is the standard diagnostic for current owners troubleshooting a backup or recurring issue, and that one is free with any booked job.
Why should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?
Sewer lines are buried and invisible during a standard home inspection. A $99 scope reveals cracks, root intrusion, offset joints, or collapse before you close, so a four-figure repair does not become your surprise after move-in.
What do you give me after the inspection?
You get the recorded CCTV footage and a plain-language explanation of what we found. Prodigy inspects to NASSCO/PACP standards, so the documentation holds up for real-estate, insurance, and warranty purposes.
How often should I have my sewer line inspected?
For older homes, homes with large trees near the line, or properties with a history of backups, a periodic scope every few years catches root intrusion and joint problems before they become emergencies.
Can a camera inspection tell me whether I need trenchless repair?
Yes, the footage is exactly how we determine the right method. We never quote a trenchless sewer repair without seeing inside the pipe first; the scope shows whether lining, bursting, or a sectional repair fits.
