You’re dealing with slow drains, mysterious backups, or buying a new home. The problem is you can’t see what’s happening in those pipes buried under your property.
Our camera inspection gives you the full picture without tearing up your yard. You see exactly where the problem is, what’s causing it, and what it’ll actually cost to fix. No more companies showing up with shovels, digging random holes, and hoping they find something.
When you know what you’re dealing with, you make better decisions. You avoid the $15,000 emergency that could have been a $2,500 planned repair.
AAA Dependable Cesspool has been serving Baywood and Suffolk County families since 1998. We’ve built our reputation on straight talk and transparent service in an industry full of companies that oversell and underdeliver.
As a family-owned business, we understand what it means to invest in your home and protect your family. We’re not the cheapest option, and we don’t try to be. You’re paying for decades of experience, honest diagnostics, and equipment that actually works the first time.
We support the community through military and senior discounts, and we actively back veteran organizations like Paws of War. When you call AAA Dependable, you’re working with neighbors who care about getting it right.
First, we locate the access point to your sewer line and insert a waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable. The camera travels through your entire system, transmitting high-definition video back to a monitor above ground.
You watch the inspection happen in real time. We explain what you’re seeing as the camera moves through your pipes. When we find a problem, we mark the exact location and depth so you know precisely where any issue exists.
After the inspection, you get a detailed report with video footage and still images of any problems. If repairs are needed, we provide exact locations and honest cost estimates. No surprises, no guesswork, just the information you need to make the right decision for your property.

Your camera inspection includes a complete video examination of your sewer lines from the house to the street connection. We inspect pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter, navigating through turns and bends that would be impossible to see otherwise.
In Baywood and throughout Suffolk County, we commonly find tree root intrusions from the mature oak and maple trees that make our neighborhoods beautiful. We also identify pipe bellies caused by Long Island’s shifting sandy soil, cracked clay pipes in older homes, and blockages from everyday use.
You receive high-definition video footage, time-stamped recordings, and a written assessment of your system’s condition. If you’re buying a home, we provide documentation you can use in negotiations. If you’re dealing with ongoing problems, you get the answers you need to fix them permanently.
Camera inspection costs vary based on the length and complexity of your sewer line, but most residential inspections in Baywood range from $200 to $500. This investment can save you thousands by identifying problems before they become emergencies.
The cost is minimal compared to what you’d spend on unnecessary excavation or wrong repairs. Many customers find that a $300 inspection prevents a $15,000 surprise later. If you’re buying a home, the inspection cost often pays for itself through purchase price negotiations when problems are found.
Camera inspection reveals tree root intrusions, which are extremely common in Baywood due to mature landscaping. Roots enter through small cracks and can completely block your line within months. The camera shows exactly where roots have penetrated and how extensive the problem is.
We also identify pipe bellies where sections have sagged due to soil settling, creating low spots where waste gets trapped. Cracked or collapsed pipes, grease buildup, foreign objects, and connection problems between pipe sections all show up clearly on camera. You see the actual condition of your pipes, not just symptoms above ground.
Most residential camera inspections in Baywood take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your property size and the length of sewer line being inspected. Simple inspections for smaller homes might take just 20 minutes, while larger properties with longer runs to the street can take up to 90 minutes.
The inspection moves at the pace needed to thoroughly examine your system. If problems are found, additional time is spent documenting the exact location and extent of issues. You’re welcome to watch the entire process and ask questions as the camera moves through your pipes.
Absolutely. Sewer line problems are one of the most expensive surprises new homeowners face, and standard home inspections don’t include underground pipes. A camera inspection before closing can reveal issues that cost $8,000 to $25,000 to fix.
In Baywood’s older neighborhoods, many homes have original clay or cast iron pipes that may be cracked or root-damaged. If problems are found during your inspection, you can negotiate with the seller for repairs or a price reduction. If the system is in good condition, you have peace of mind knowing one major system won’t surprise you after moving in.
No, professional camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes. The camera head is smooth and designed to navigate through pipes without scratching or harming the interior surfaces. The flexible cable follows the pipe’s natural path without forcing anything.
The camera is much smaller than the waste and water that normally flows through your pipes. Modern inspection equipment is specifically engineered to provide detailed views while protecting your plumbing system. This is why camera inspection has become the standard method for diagnosing sewer problems without excavation.
When problems are identified, you receive detailed documentation including video footage and still images showing exactly what’s wrong and where it’s located. We explain what you’re seeing and provide honest recommendations for addressing the issue.
You get accurate cost estimates for repairs, whether it’s root removal, pipe patching, or section replacement. There’s no pressure to make immediate decisions. You have all the information needed to get additional quotes, plan for repairs, or address the problem when it fits your schedule and budget. The goal is giving you control over the situation, not creating panic.
