If your sewer line is clogged, you have a big problem on your hands. We recommend you have your sewer lines inspected and cleaned every 18-22 months. We perform video inspections of your sewer lines, which gives us an excellent view of what is really going on. The average cost of a sewer line video inspection can range anywhere from $250 to $750.
