What it costs
Why we’re at the house decides which price you pay. On its own, the line often has to be cleared before the camera can see anything, and that’s what moves the number.
Sewer camera inspection, added to a visit
$89
Sewer camera inspection on its own
$500 to $1,700
A locator on the camera head marks the spot and its depth on the ground, so if something needs fixing you know where. If the line is fine, nobody talks about digging.
Comfort+ membership is $199 a year for four visits: a dryer vent cleaning, a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection, a heating maintenance visit and a cooling maintenance visit.
What’s different in Fort Belvoir
Inside the fence, The Villages at Belvoir owns and maintains the plumbing in family housing, so a clogged drain or a suspected sewer issue goes to them as a service request. We handle the off-post houses in ZIP 22060, like the 256 units in Cook Inlet and the older homes on Backlick Road. Those off-post lots fall under Fairfax County rules, where the homeowner owns the entire sewer lateral from the house to the county main, including the stretch under the street.
The ground here is the story. Fairfax County’s soil map puts Cook Inlet on Coastal Plain clay in hydrologic group D, the slowest-draining class, with the water table as little as two feet down. On June 28, 2016, the National Weather Service logged Route 1 flooded and closed at Belvoir Court. After a storm like that, the high water table can shift soil around the pipe. A camera inspection, $89 added to a visit, shows if the line has shifted or cracked before you consider digging.
Cook Inlet’s houses, built between 2002 and 2004, have PVC drains. What comes due at twenty years is the condition of that pipe. In Fairfax County, replacing a sewer lateral takes a county plumbing permit, plus a VDOT permit if it runs under a state road. A camera inspection, $500 to $1,700 on its own, is how you learn the pipe’s condition and where the trouble sits, so you can price the repair correctly.
Accotink is a different century. Fairfax County dates one Backlick Road house to 1900, six to 1925 and six to 1978. Older homes often have cast iron or clay tile drains. Reagan National, 13 miles up the river, averages about 60 freezing nights a year. Cold air can affect pipes in crawlspaces. A camera inspection, $89 with a visit, is the first step to see what’s under the lawn before you talk about replacement.
When it’s worth a look
If the county main is clear, the issue is on your lateral, which you own up to the main. A simple flush only clears the blockage, leaving the underlying crack or root intrusion intact. A camera inspection, $89 added to a visit, reveals the actual damage so you can address the root cause rather than just the symptom.
When the washer empties and water rises in the basement floor drain, or a toilet gurgles while a sink runs, the main line isn’t carrying it all away. The camera shows why.
A main line that needs clearing every year or two has a reason, and clearing it again doesn’t find it. A camera down the line after it’s cleared does.
Who owns the line
In Fairfax County the homeowner owns the whole sewer lateral, from the house to the county main, including the stretch under the street. Replacing it takes a county plumbing permit, plus a VDOT permit under a state road. Source.

Choosing who runs the camera
Questions to ask anybody who offers to put a camera down your line, us included.
In Fairfax County, the homeowner owns the entire sewer lateral, extending all the way to the county main, including the segment under the street. A check that ends at the property line leaves that stretch unverified. Confirm the camera travels to the connection point and that the technician measures the defect from the curb to pinpoint the exact location for any future repair.
Ask to see it and to keep a copy. “It’s roots” with nothing to show for it is a guess, and a guess is a bad reason to dig up a yard.
A company that only digs tends to see a dig, and one that only lines tends to see a liner. We do both, so the footage decides, not the truck.

Questions
The Villages at Belvoir, which owns and maintains family housing on post: file a service request through its resident portal or welcome center. We plumb the off-post houses in ZIP 22060, including Cook Inlet and Backlick Road.
Because in Fairfax County, the lateral from your house to the county main is privately owned. If the county main is clear, the problem is on your side. A camera inspection, $89 with a visit, shows the condition of your pipe and where the trouble is.
$89 added to a visit we’re already making, $500 to $1,700 booked on its own. The difference is clearing: a visit just for the camera often has to clear the line first.
If the house is older or has big trees out front, yes. A standard home inspection usually doesn’t include one, and in most of Northern Virginia the line from the house toward the street is the owner’s to fix.
Ready when you are
Call, or send the form at the top. You get the price in writing first, and if the camera says the line is fine, that’s what we’ll tell you.
