What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection (and Do I Need One)?

How a $300 inspection can save you from a $10,000 surprise after closing.

A sewer camera inspection sends a high-resolution color camera through your sewer line so you can actually see what's inside. No guessing, no unnecessary digging — just a clear picture of the pipe and any defects.

When to get one

  • Buying a home (especially anything built before 1990)
  • Selling a home and want to disclose pipe condition
  • Recurring main line backups
  • Before any sewer repair quote
  • Before pouring concrete, adding a pool, or remodeling

What it costs and what you get

Stand-alone camera inspections in Fort Myers typically run $200 to $400. You get on-the-spot diagnosis, recorded video, and an electronic locate of any defect (depth and position above ground).
