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 Middleburg
Inside the town limits, Middleburg’s sewer code draws a clean line: the Town keeps up its mains and treatment works, and the private lateral, house to main, belongs to the owner of the house it serves. As amended in January 2014, it asks a new lateral to go in with tracer tape carrying a wire, six inches to a foot above the pipe from the cleanout to the house, so it can be found from above later.
Plenty of laterals here went in long before anyone asked for a wire. Of the 1,416 homes in ZIP 20117, 333 date from 1939 or earlier and 505 from before 1960, and the Town’s sewer was working by 1937, so the oldest houses were hooked up later. A drain like that can change materials partway out, cast iron under the house and clay tile toward the street, every joint a seam for roots. With no wire to follow, we trace the camera head’s transmitter across the yard and mark the run and depth.
This fall adds a dry year. The Town put mandatory water conservation in place on July 24, 2026, with its wells dropping. Roots chase moisture in dry soil, and a seeping clay joint is moisture they can reach. A line that drained fine all summer can slow in October; cutting the roots out buys time until the camera shows which joint let them in.
Not every house in 20117 drains to the Town. Inside the limits the code allows a septic tank where no Town sewer runs past the lot, or where reaching one would take a lateral over 200 feet from the property line; past the limits, the farms run on their own wells and septic. SwiftPro does no septic work, so a line ending in a tank is a septic contractor’s call. The Town’s source water team lists converting septic systems to its sewer among its steps.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
ZIP 20117 as a whole: every Middleburg address, the Town and the farms around it, about a tenth of the land in Fauquier County. The Census place for the Town alone has too few homes for steady figures.
When it’s worth a look
Summer storms take big trees here: NCEI records numerous trees down around Middleburg in June 2021, Washington Street among them, and hundreds between Middleburg and Upperville in June 2022. A tree that tips lifts its root ball, and a line running through those roots can crack or pull apart. Camera it before the hole gets filled.
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.
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
Usually not, though the Town will maintain certain laterals if they qualify and the Town Manager approves an application, and since broken laterals are expensive, it suggests asking your insurance carrier or a third-party program. Footage showing what’s wrong, and where, helps with every one of those calls.
Your landlord, usually. About a quarter of the homes in 20117 are rented, 336 of 1,263, and the rented ones skew old: their median year built is 1952. The line is the property owner’s under the Town’s rules, so the camera and any repair are theirs to decide. Tell them the day it happens, with photos.
$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.
