See your pipes before you spend a dollar fixing them.

Standalone sewer scopes for pre-sale inspections and specific use cases, $250 flat. Every hydro jet or descale job includes a before + after scope at no extra charge.

Last updated

When a scope is worth it.

  • Buying a house, especially pre-1990 homes (cast iron, clay, Orangeburg sewer line risk)
  • Recurring clogs on the same line. Find the root cause before paying to cable it again
  • Pairing it with a hydro jet (before + after). The only way to know what you fixed
  • Mystery odors or slow drains with no obvious cause
  • Lost items (rings, toys, keys). We can sometimes recover them
  • Property manager pre-tenant or pre-sale documentation

What it costs.

Standalone

$250

Flat rate · on-site walk-through · recording on request

With hydro jetting or descale

Included

Before + after passes · no extra charge

You get a full sewer-line inspection with a plain-English walk-through on the monitor on-site: pipe material, condition, and where the problem spots are. The recorded footage is available on request if you need the file.

Why included with jetting?

On any sewer line we're going to jet, you want to see it going in and running clear when we leave. It's the difference between "I hope that worked" and knowing it did. That's why every jet or descale job includes the before + after camera pass, walked through with you on the monitor on-site; recording available on request. Standalone scopes at $250 are for the times you want an inspection without any jetting (pre-sale, mystery odor, lost item).

What you see on the truck

The same monitor we read is the same footage you keep.

Push camera, self-levelling HD head, 200 ft of cable, 1.3″ color LED tip. The picture you're looking at is what we identify the drain issue on, walked through with you in plain language right there on the truck. Request the recording and we send it over. No "trust us, it was bad in there." You saw it.

Standard on every hydro jet or descale job (before + after passes). Standalone $250 flat for pre-sale sewer inspection, mystery odors, recurring clogs, or lost items.

"Jeff was transparent through the entire process, allowing me to visually watch on a video monitor as he blasted the roots to the main sewer drain. He inspected our 55-year-old clay pipes and gave me his opinion as he evaluated their condition."

Camera FAQs

01 What is a sewer camera inspection?

A push-camera inspection sends a self-levelling HD camera head down your drain or sewer line through an existing cleanout. We walk the camera the length of the pipe and view it on an HD monitor in real time, so you see pipe material, condition, buildup, root intrusion, cracks, bellies, or whatever else is in there. Also called sewer scoping, drain camera inspection, or push camera inspection.

02 How much does a camera scope cost?

Standalone scope (no jetting): $250 flat across the Omaha metro. If you're booking a hydro jet or descale job, the before + after camera scope is included at no additional charge, walked through with you on the monitor on-site. Recording available on request.

03 When does a standalone scope make sense?

Pre-sale home inspection (especially pre-1990 homes). Mystery odors with no obvious cause. Recurring clogs you've never seen explained. Lost items (jewelry, toys) down a drain. Property managers verifying a unit pre-tenant. For an active backup, you usually want jetting first; a scope alone won't move anything.

04 What exactly do I get?

On-site we walk you through everything on the monitor in plain language: pipe material, condition, and where the problem spots are. You don't need to stand over the drain the whole time; we flag what matters. The recorded footage is available on request if you want the file to share.

05 Is this good enough for a home inspection?

Yes. The on-site walk-through tells you exactly what the camera shows (material, condition, problem spots) in plain language, not code references. Request the recorded footage and you have the file to hand to your realtor, inspector, or insurance adjuster for repair-credit negotiations.

06 Can you tell me what my pipes are made of?

Yes. Cast iron, clay, Orangeburg, PVC, and ABS all look distinctly different on camera. We tell you on the monitor during the walk-through. Orangeburg (tar-impregnated fiber pipe, common in 1945–1972 homes) is especially important to identify before you buy an older Omaha home. It fails.

07 How long does a camera scope take?

Standalone scope: usually under an hour on-site including access, the camera walk-through, and the on-site review with you. The before + after scope on a jet job adds about an hour to the total jet visit.

08 Do I need to pull a toilet for the scope?

Usually no. We access through an existing cleanout (basement or exterior) in most Omaha-area homes. If no cleanout exists or the cleanout is inaccessible, we may need to pull a toilet to reach the stack. We tell you at booking either way.

09 Can a camera scope locate a buried cleanout or pipe?

Yes. Our push camera has a sonde (locator transmitter) on the head. If you need the camera head located from above ground (to find a buried cleanout, mark where a repair should happen, or confirm a pipe's path under the yard), we can mark the surface position and depth on-site.

10 Will a scope find a leak or crack in the pipe?

Yes. Visible cracks, offset joints, bellies (sags that hold water), root intrusion at joints, and major corrosion all show up clearly on the camera. Pinhole leaks or very small cracks may not; those sometimes need a hydrostatic test or dye test, which we don't do but can refer out.

11 Is a pre-sale sewer scope worth it on a newer home?

On a home 25+ years old, almost always yes. On a 1990s–2010s PVC home with a known-good main, usually only if there's a specific reason (recurring clog, visible flow issue, large trees over the line). On any 1945–1975 Omaha home, yes without question. Cast iron scale and Orangeburg pipe risk make it the cheapest insurance a buyer can get at $250.

12 Do you offer sewer camera inspection across the Omaha metro?

Yes. Omaha, Bellevue, La Vista, Papillion, Elkhorn, and Gretna. $250 standalone, same across every city, no travel surcharge inside the service area. See the per-city pages below.
