Last updated
When a scope is worth it.
- Buying a house — especially pre-1990 homes (cast iron, clay, Orangeburg 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

Included
Before + after passes · no extra charge
You get a full-line inspection, a recorded video emailed same-day, and a plain-English written summary of what we saw — pipe material, condition, and approximate footage of any problem spots from the cleanout.
Why included with jetting?
On any 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, video emailed same day. Standalone scopes at $250 are for the times you want an inspection without any jetting — pre-sale, mystery odor, lost item.

Camera FAQs
01 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.
02 What exactly do I get?
You don't need to stand over the drain — we handle the camera work and review the footage ourselves. Afterwards we email you the recorded video, representative stills, and a short written summary — pipe material, condition, and approximate footage of any problem spots from the cleanout.
03 How much does a camera scope cost?
Standalone scope (no jetting): $250 flat. If you're booking a hydro jet or descale job, the before + after camera scope is included at no additional charge — you see the pipe going in and running clear when we leave, video emailed same day.
04 Is this good enough for a home inspection?
Yes. Our video + written summary is what real estate agents and buyers use to negotiate repair credits or walk away from a bad main. We write it in plain language, not code references.
05 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'll tell you in the written summary.
