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.

What’s different in Rectortown
There’s no public sewer main in Rectortown. FCWSA’s nearest lines serve Marshall, and the County’s plan keeps them to that district. So the pipe leaving your foundation runs to a septic tank on your own lot, and all of it, cleanout to tank, is the owner’s. That pipe is what our camera inspects. The tank, its baffles and the drainfield go to a licensed septic contractor; SwiftPro does no septic work.
Don’t judge the pipe by the house. The village’s register nomination describes stone and log houses from the late 1700s, built with no drains at all, and two of its landmark buildings became homes only last century: the Brick Store House sold goods until 1947, and the schoolhouse closed in the mid-1950s. A line put in around then may be cast iron, clay or Orangeburg, pressed fiber pipe that slumps flat with age. One laid since the 1970s is most likely plastic.
Your well cares what that pipe is made of. Virginia’s private well rules set how close a new well may sit to a house sewer line by how the line is built: cast iron with sealed joints, or glued Schedule 40 PVC, may come within 10 feet of a cased and grouted well, while any other pipe, or one nobody can identify, stays 50 feet off. Where the house, the well and the tank share one yard, the camera names the pipe before anyone plans a new well or an addition.
Weather finds the weak joints. NOAA’s Storm Events Database has high water closing Rectortown Road at Crest Hill Road in September 2012, a mile and a half north-northwest of the village. Around a cracked joint in ground that soaked, groundwater can seep in and ride to the tank, water the drainfield was never sized for. And a big tree that blows over, like the one the database records down at Rectortown and Frogtown Roads in July 2025, lifts its roots and any pipe running under them.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
Rectortown’s own ZIP, 20140, is post office boxes only, so the Census Bureau maps no area for it. These are ZIP 20115 as a whole, the Marshall ZIP area that holds nearly nine in ten of the Rectortown Census place’s homes, Marshall included.
When it’s worth a look
The inspector who walks the house rarely looks past the basement wall, and a septic inspection centers on the tank and the field. The pipe between them is what the camera sees, and on a house this old, that’s where the surprises hide.
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.
Here it changes the repair. A repair within 50 feet of the well should use the pipe Virginia’s well rules name for that distance, and a plumber who doesn’t ask is guessing. Get the pipe named in the written price.
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
Either, and the camera tells you which. If the pipe runs open to the tank’s inlet, the trouble is in the tank or a soaked field, and that’s your septic contractor’s call; the Fauquier County Health Department permits septic systems. If the camera finds a crack, roots or a sag, it’s ours to price, $89 when we’re already there clearing it.
$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.
