The access adder and report sublines
| Subline, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Home with a cleanout access point | Frame B | $125-$500 |
| Home without a cleanout | Frame B | $175-$750 |
| Scope added to a home inspection | Frame B | $100-$250 |

| Access adder line | Frame A | no access adder line printed |
| Report/footage line | Frame A | no separate report line printed |
The access adder and report lines here are cost lines of a sewer camera inspection in existing-cleanout, toilet-pull, and no-access-yet readings, priced apart from sewer line replacement, which sits in its own lane. Named apart, never a line here: hydro jetting and drain clearing, and septic work.
The totals behind the lines, by frame
| Total, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| National average | Frame A | $996 |
| Most homeowners spending | Frame A | $271-$1,728 |
| Average range | Frame B | $125-$500 |
| Overall spread | Frame B | $70-$900 |
The total readings are separate countings of one sewer camera inspection job, printed apart, each on its own frame: a replacement total is a different job and prints in its own lane.
