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 Philomont
Which side of the line you are on decides who does what. On Loudoun Water’s sewer, the part under the street is the utility’s alone to repair, the building sewer behind it is yours to maintain, and an inspector from Loudoun Water looks at any replacement pipe before the trench is filled. If you are on septic, SwiftPro does no septic work, but the pipe from the house to the tank is ordinary drain line, and the camera can run it. The first question for a Philomont address is which one you have.
Age points to the pipe. The median owner home in ZIP 20132, the Purcellville ZIP area that holds Philomont, dates to 2000, and about 48 percent of homes there went up since then, so a lot of sewer lines are PVC. About 24 percent date from before 1980 and about 13 percent from before 1960. Clay and cast iron were common pipe in those years, and tree roots find their joints.
Water shapes the ground here. The village’s 2023 NRHP nomination describes rolling hills and abundant waterways, with a Butcher’s Branch tributary north of the village and a Beaverdam Creek tributary south of it. Flooding closed Snickersville Turnpike near Hibbs Bridge Road on September 28, 2018, and again on December 15, 2018. Wet soil can shift pipe. A camera shows a joint that has opened, a sag that holds water or a root that came in.
Comfort+ at $199 a year has four visits, and one of them pairs a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection, so a line gets its look on a schedule instead of after a backup. For a one-time check on a house you are buying or a drain that has slowed, the camera stands alone.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
Philomont’s own ZIP, 20131, is post office boxes only, so the Census Bureau maps no area for it. These are ZIP 20132 as a whole, the Purcellville ZIP area Philomont sits in, the Town of Purcellville included.
When it’s worth a look
In Philomont the next step depends on the line’s owner. On Loudoun Water’s sewer, the building sewer is the homeowner’s and the stretch under the street is Loudoun Water’s alone to repair. The camera shows where the trouble sits before anyone digs a trench in your yard or phones the utility.
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.
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.
Who owns the line
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 footage should show the cleanout, the distance to the problem and the point where the building sewer meets the street. That is what you need if Loudoun Water has to repair its part, and what a replacement inspector checks before backfill.
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
SwiftPro does no septic work, so the tank and its pumping belong to a septic contractor. A slow drain can sit in either place, so we begin where we do work: the stretch of pipe leaving the house. If the camera finds that stretch clear, the tank becomes the suspect, and you have not paid for a dig.
It is $89 when the camera rides along on a visit already booked, and $500 to $1,700 when the camera is the whole visit, since a line often needs clearing before it can see anything. Either way you see what it finds, and the price is settled before we start.
$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.
