This cluster prices a sewer camera inspection alone -- a camera run through the line and the report it produces -- and its scope fee, length, access adder, and report lines as components of that one inspection job. Named apart, never a row here: sewer line replacement; hydro jetting and drain clearing; and septic work.

The neighbours, differentiated
The sewer line replacement hub prices a new line installed as its own job: that cluster prices the replacement whole and prints no camera run figure. Hydro jetting and drain clearing sit in their own lanes as work that clears the line, apart from the replacement bands, and septic work prices a tank system, not a municipal lateral. None of those lanes prices a sewer camera inspection or its cost lines. Quotes here turn on access point, line length, and report scope as quoted.
