Why Sewer Scopes Are the Best Add-On Revenue for Inspectors

Sewer scope inspections are 30-minute jobs that pay $150-$200. Here's why they're the best add-on for inspectors and what software helps.

The math

30-minute job, $150-$200 price tag, 80% margin. Tack onto every pre-purchase inspection that involves an older home or a big tree near the line.

What you need

A pushrod camera ($800-$2,500), a clean carrying case, and software that supports a dedicated capture mode.

What InspectorData does

Dedicated camera mode, condition library (root, offset, belly, crack, scale), distance markers from cleanout. Full sewer scope page →

How to sell it

Bundle with pre-purchase: "For $175 more I'll camera the main line — that's what catches the $5,000 surprises." 60-70% of buyers say yes.
