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 Nokesville
Most Nokesville sewer lines never reach a public main. The County’s septic map lists 2,349 parcels with a 20181 address, where the pipe leaving the foundation runs to a tank in the yard. That pipe is what the camera is for: in through a cleanout and along the run to the tank’s inlet, the locator marking its route and depth on the grass. The tank, its baffles and the drainfield belong to a licensed septic contractor; SwiftPro does no septic work.
The pipe follows the age of the house. About six homes in ten across 20181 went up from 1980 on, so most runs to a tank are plastic. But about 470 homes in the ZIP predate 1960, close to four in ten in the village, and a line from then is often cast iron or clay, or from the late 1940s on, Orangeburg, tar paper pipe that slumps out of round. Under a farmhouse’s old shade trees, roots reach those joints years before a drain slows.
The village has public sewer, in two kinds. Along Fitzwater Drive, Prince William Water’s map dates the gravity main to 1969, mostly 8-inch clay pipe, and a house as old as that main may drain through a lateral just as old. On streets like Edmund Saul Court, Skylark Drive and Garman Drive, houses are on a low-pressure sewer instead, each with a grinder pump. There the camera’s part ends at the pump’s tank; past it, the line to the flush station is a pressure pipe about an inch and a half across.
At the north edge of the ZIP, Ashley Ridge went in on gravity sewer, its sections recorded from 2000 to 2002. A PVC line on Rain Slicker Place or Aqua View Court has had 25 years for its trench to settle and for trees planted with the houses to find a loose joint, so the camera there is hunting a sag that holds water, not rust.

When it’s worth a look
In an older Nokesville house that has changed hands a few times, the tank lid can be buried under the lawn. The camera’s locator follows the line out and marks where it stops, so the septic contractor digs once. The Health District’s records by address may show it too.
Some houses from that era drain through Orangeburg, a tar paper pipe that a drain snake tears apart. If nobody knows what your line is made of, the camera goes down before the snake does.
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.
Who owns the line
Prince William Water requires its own Lateral Repair or Replacement Permit, and its inspection, before anyone repairs or replaces a sewer lateral outside the house. Source.

Choosing who runs the camera
Questions to ask anybody who offers to put a camera down your line, us included.
On a septic lot the camera clears the pipe as often as it finds a fault. If the run is sound to the inlet, ask them to say so and hand the footage to your septic contractor, not quote a pipe repair nobody needs.
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.

Nii is the best. He’s been to the house twice – once for a galvanized to PVC piping change-out, and another time for a badly clogged kitchen line that wouldn’t budge with my snake and a good bit of effort. Super nice guy, very skilled, fair, calm, etc. Exactly what you want in a plumber.
Questions
No. It runs down the gravity pipe from the house to the grinder pump’s tank and stops. Prince William Water’s standards count the pump and both legs of piping on your lot as one grinder pump system, and unless yours is one of the few the utility keeps up under contract, with a fee on the bill, it’s yours.
$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.
