Hydro-jetting & sewer camera inspection cost
| Sewer camera inspection (HomeGuide avg $280) | $125–$500 |
| Camera, home without cleanout (HomeGuide) | $175–$750 |
| Sewer scope added to a home inspection (HomeGuide) | $100–$250 |
| Hydro-jetting (HomeGuide avg $1,000) | $600–$1,400 |
| Hydro-jetting a sewer cleanout (HomeAdvisor) | $350–$600 |
Published averages disagree. Angi/HomeAdvisor report camera averages near $1,000, while HomeGuide's member-reported average is $280, so get quotes. HomeGuide notes jetting results last 2–3 years and that pipes over 40 years old may not be suitable. Have the line camera-inspected first. Decode the report with our sewer scope glossary, and read about tree roots and bellies.
Buying an older home? A sewer scope is cheap insurance. What a camera inspection shows.
