Las Vegas Home Inspection: When a $230 Sewer Scope Is Worth Adding

First Home Inspectors’ Las Vegas pricing lists a house under 2,000 square feet at $369 and a sewer scope add-on at $230. The provider also lists a thermal-imaging add-on of $40 plus $0.01 per square foot and $74 gas-leak detection. Read the August 2026 pricing.

Adding the sewer scope to the stated base gives $599 ($369 + $230). For a hypothetical 1,800-square-foot house, thermal imaging adds $58 ($40 + $0.01 × 1,800), taking those selected services to $657 before any age or feature adjustments. The provider also advertises a broader bundle; request that quote separately rather than assuming the standalone subtotal is its bundle price.

The decision trigger is the property’s sewer connection and risk, not the home’s square footage alone. Ask whether the line is shared, whether a cleanout is accessible, and whether the report identifies material defects. A general visual inspection does not automatically include a sewer camera.

Request the exact bundle and report deliverables before booking. Prices were checked September 8, 2026 and apply to the provider’s Las Vegas pricing guidance; older homes and large lots have additional listed adjustments.

For the 1,800-square-foot example, the property-year adjustment would add $18 if built in 1990–2005, $36 if built in 1980–1989, or $67.50 if built in 1979 or earlier. Those adjustments are separate from the camera service. Send the year built with the square footage so the base worksheet is not mistaken for an older-home total.

The sewer-scope decision is strongest when the line’s age or configuration makes a camera useful: ask about shared laterals, cleanout access, and whether the scope reaches the municipal connection. The posted $230 is an add-on, so a house under 2,000 square feet with base inspection and sewer camera worksheets to $599. Ask whether the provider can deliver the video and defect location with the written report before comparing quotes.

Nevada’s inspector rules distinguish certified residential, general, and master inspectors and require reports under the state standards. Read NAC Chapter 645D when confirming who will perform the $369 base inspection and how a sewer-camera report is documented.
