Your drains are running slow. Something smells off in your yard. Your toilet gurgles when you run water upstairs.
Most companies show up and start digging holes, hoping they’ll stumble onto the problem. That approach destroys your landscaping, costs thousands more than necessary, and still might miss the real issue.
Camera inspection gives you the truth in real-time. You see exactly what we see on a monitor – whether it’s tree roots choking your line, a collapsed pipe, or just a simple blockage that can be cleared in minutes instead of days.
We’ve been serving Brightwaters families since 1998. We’re the local company that shows up when we say we will, charges what we quote, and tells you the truth about what needs fixing.
Our 325+ five-star reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen because we do camera inspections the right way – with professional equipment, honest assessments, and no surprise charges.
Brightwaters homeowners know they can count on us for straight answers. We’re Suffolk County licensed, fully insured, and we’ve been your neighbors for more than 25 years.
We start by locating your access point and setting up our professional-grade camera equipment. Our waterproof camera travels through your entire line on a flexible cable, sending back real-time video footage.
You watch everything on our monitor as we navigate through your pipes. We can spot cracks, blockages, root intrusions, and collapsed sections without disturbing your property.
The camera records depth and location data, so if we find a problem, we know exactly where it is. No more digging up half your yard to find one bad section of pipe. When we’re done, you get a clear picture of your system’s condition and our honest recommendation for next steps.

Every camera inspection includes a complete visual examination of your lines from access point to end. We check for common Brightwaters issues like tree root intrusion from those beautiful oak and maple trees, pipe bellies caused by our shifting Long Island soil, and blockages from everyday use.
You receive real-time viewing during the inspection plus recorded footage for your records. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or future service planning.
Many Brightwaters homeowners use our camera inspection before major renovations to ensure their plumbing can handle increased usage. Others schedule inspections as preventive maintenance – catching small problems before they become expensive emergencies that flood basements or damage foundations.
Most residential camera inspections in Brightwaters range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. Compare that to emergency sewer repairs that start around $3,000 and quickly reach $10,000 when pipes need replacement.
Camera inspection pays for itself by catching problems while they’re still manageable. A small root intrusion we find today might cost $500 to clear. Wait until it completely blocks your line, and you’re looking at emergency service calls, potential property damage, and much more extensive repairs.
We provide upfront pricing before we start, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Camera inspection reveals issues that are invisible from the surface. We commonly find tree root problems – those oak trees in Brightwaters have root systems that love sewer pipes, squeezing through tiny cracks until they completely block your line.
We also spot pipe bellies where Long Island’s sandy soil has shifted over time, causing pipes to sag and create low spots where waste gets trapped. Cracked or collapsed sections show up clearly on camera, along with blockages from grease, debris, or items that shouldn’t have been flushed.
The camera can also locate lost jewelry or other valuable items that accidentally went down the drain. We see everything in real-time and can pinpoint exact locations for the most cost-effective solution.
Absolutely. We’ve seen too many Brightwaters homeowners discover sewer problems within their first few years – problems that could have been caught before closing and used as negotiating points.
If you look at the main sewer trap and see it doesn’t have brass plugs, that usually means there’s been a problem before. A camera inspection gives you the complete picture of what you’re inheriting with the property.
The inspection can be a huge cost savings and bargaining chip for a lower purchase price. Our camera takes snapshot pictures of any problem spots, and we can email these to you for your purchase negotiations. Better to know before you buy than deal with expensive surprises later.
Most residential camera inspections in Brightwaters take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your system size and what we find. We’re not rushing through – we take time to examine your entire line thoroughly and explain what you’re seeing on the monitor.
If we discover problems, we’ll spend additional time documenting exact locations and discussing your options. The inspection itself is quick, but we make sure you understand everything we found and what it means for your system.
You can watch the entire process on our monitor, ask questions as we go, and get copies of any footage for your records. Most homeowners find it fascinating to actually see inside their pipes for the first time.
Professional camera inspection is completely non-invasive. Our waterproof cameras are designed specifically for pipe inspection and won’t damage your lines. The flexible cable navigates easily through turns and bends without scratching or harming pipe walls.
We access your system through existing cleanouts or access points – no digging required. Your landscaping, driveway, and property remain undisturbed throughout the entire process.
This is exactly why camera inspection is so valuable. Instead of excavating your yard with backhoes and hoping to find the problem, we pinpoint issues precisely without any property destruction. You get answers without the mess, expense, or restoration work that comes with traditional inspection methods.
Schedule camera inspection when you notice warning signs like slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in your yard, or soggy areas near your septic system. These symptoms often indicate developing problems that camera inspection can identify before they become emergencies.
Many Brightwaters homeowners schedule preventive inspections every few years, especially if they have mature trees on their property. Tree roots are a constant threat to sewer lines, and early detection saves thousands in repair costs.
You should also consider camera inspection before major home renovations, when buying or selling property, or if you’ve never had your system inspected. Regular inspection is like preventive maintenance for your car – it catches small issues before they become expensive failures.
