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 Catlett
Catlett’s public sewer is young, and it doesn’t work like a town’s. Fauquier County’s plan for the village calls failing drainfields a historic and continuing problem, and County Supervisors approved sewer service for the Catlett and Calverton district in 2022, about 476 parcels by the County’s count. A connected house still drains by gravity into a tank on its own lot. Only past that tank does the County’s pressure sewer take over.
That tank is where your part ends. The County’s agreement with each owner says it has no duty to inspect, maintain or repair any pipe from the tank to the house, or inside it. So the camera’s run here is short and all yours: in at a cleanout by the foundation, under the yard, up to the tank’s inlet. The tank, its pump and its panel are the County’s, and we leave them alone.
What’s in that run depends on the house. Every one of the 1,415 homes the Census counts in 20119 is detached; about 180 predate 1940, and close to 400 went up in the 1960s and 1970s. When an older house connects, the County’s manual has its drain intercepted before the old distribution box and re-routed to the new tank in Schedule 80 PVC, so decades-old pipe can meet new plastic somewhere in the yard. The camera checks that splice first.
Catlett sits on nearly flat basin ground with Cedar Run’s floodplain around the village, and soil too tight for a septic field keeps buried pipe wet. A cracked joint there can let groundwater in, and the County’s guide asks owners to keep extra water out, since every gallon reaching the tank gets pumped and treated.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
ZIP 20119 as a whole: every Catlett address, the village included. The Census place for the village alone has too few homes for steady figures.
When it’s worth a look
When the whole house drains sluggishly and the STEP alarm hasn’t made a sound, the County’s pump is usually fine, and the hold-up sits in the pipe between the foundation and the tank. That pipe is yours, and it’s where the camera goes once the line is cleared.
Roots don’t break a sewer line. They find a crack or a loose joint that’s already there and grow into it, which is why a line under old trees is worth a look before it slows down.
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.
Choosing who runs the camera
Questions to ask anybody who offers to put a camera down your line, us included.
On a STEP lot the camera goes from a cleanout at the house to the tank’s inlet and no further. The County asks owners never to lift the tank’s green lid, and nobody you hire should either.
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.

We had Tyson out for our main line leaking underground, he explained the scope of work for replacement and set great expectations. They had the job done in a very timely manner and I couldn’t ask for more professionalism than he provided!

Questions
If a County tank with its control panel on a post sits near the house, it’s connected. If not, it’s on septic, and SwiftPro does no septic work: the tank and field belong with a septic contractor. Inside the district, County Administration at (540) 422-8001 can tell you whether a property can connect.
What the pipe leaving the house is made of, how the old section meets any new one, and whether roots or a sag hold water along it. Ask the seller, too, whether the house is on the County’s sewer or its own septic system.
$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.
