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 Leesburg
Leesburg was platted in 1758, and the streets of that plan, King, Market, North and Cornwall among them, still make up the grid downtown, lined today with mature trees, the Town’s Tree Commission says. A sewer line under one of the old houses there, if nobody has replaced it, is usually cast iron or clay with a joint every few feet, and a big street tree has had decades to find the one that opened.
Fewer than one home in twenty in town went up before 1960, but close to one in four predates 1980. Houses from the 1950s and 60s can drain through Orangeburg, a fiber pipe soaked in coal tar that sags out of round with age, and a cutting head pushed blind through a soft stretch can tear it apart.
Most of Leesburg is younger: about four in ten homes went up between 1980 and 1999 and more than a third since 2000, so most laterals in town are plastic, and plastic’s weak spots are its joints. The Town’s standards ask for sewer joints designed to keep roots and groundwater out; the camera shows whether yours still do. The Town is even moving its own main out of the Exeter dam embankment, a line it calls nearly forty years old.
Lansdowne shares the 20176 mail but sits outside the town limits, on Loudoun Water’s sewer, and nearly nine in ten of its homes went up since 2000. Close to four in ten are in condo or apartment buildings, where one building line often carries every unit’s drains and the association decides when a camera goes in.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for the owner-occupied homes in each place, and the sewer pipe houses that age usually have.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | The sewer line you usually find |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leesburg | 1996 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | PVC to the street, mostly; a settled trench can leave a sag. |
| Lansdowne | 2005 | condo and apartment buildings, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 8 in 10 | PVC throughout, worth a look before the house changes hands. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
Inside the town limits: the Old and Historic District downtown, Exeter and Carrvale inside the bypass, Potomac Station and Edwards Landing outside it.
Lansdowne only. It’s the one Census place outside the town limits, so the farms and lots beyond it aren’t in these figures.
When it’s worth a look
On Town sewer, the Utilities Department asks for the first call, and clears a blockage in its own pipes at no charge to you. If its main runs clear, the trouble is in your lateral, and once that’s open, the camera shows a one-time clog or roots, a dip or a broken joint that will be back.
Plastic pipe doesn’t rust, but the trench it was laid in can settle and leave a sag that holds water and paper. If the line has never had a camera in it, nobody knows.
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.
Who owns the line
On Town sewer, the Town keeps up the main in the street out to the lateral cleanout, which usually sits near the sidewalk at the property line, and its utilities FAQ puts repairs from that cleanout to the house on the owner. A second answer on the same page has residents maintaining the lateral from the house all the way to the main, even where part of it is on public property, so call the Utilities Department before a dig goes beyond the cleanout. Source.
In Loudoun the homeowner maintains the building sewer, Loudoun Water alone repairs the part under the street, and a Loudoun Water inspector checks any replacement before it’s backfilled. Source.

Choosing who runs the camera
Questions to ask anybody who offers to put a camera down your line, us included.
The Town’s construction standards call for a cleanout at the end of the public lateral, unless the cleanout at the house sits within 20 feet of it. Ask for measurements from it: one of the Town’s answers on who repairs what starts there.
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
Inside the town limits, once the dig reaches the street or the strip by the sidewalk, yes: the Town permits all work in its rights-of-way, house service connections included. Loudoun County issues the plumbing permit, in town and out. Measured footage keeps that hole small.
Not over your sewer line. The Town’s Treesburg program hands out native trees each spring and fall for residential yards, good for the canopy and hard on a lateral if a root finds an open joint. The line usually runs from the front of the house toward the cleanout by the sidewalk, and a camera’s locator can mark its path first.
$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.
