6. Inspection — Final camera confirms proper flow, township inspects if required

Cost Factors

• Pipe length: Longer = more expensive (priced per linear foot)
• Depth: Shallow (3-4 ft) cheaper than deep (6-8 ft)

• Obstacles: Concrete, pavers, mature trees add $1k-5k
• Access: Easy front yard cheaper than tight backyard
• Soil conditions: Rocky soil adds excavation time/cost
