Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of contractors taking shots in the dark at your drain problems. Every “maybe this will work” costs you more money and wastes your time.
Our camera inspection cuts through the guesswork. You see the actual blockage, crack, or root intrusion on screen. We measure exactly where the problem sits underground, so if repairs are needed, there’s no digging up your entire yard hoping to find it.
No more “let’s try this and see what happens.” You get the real story about your system’s condition, a USB copy of the footage, and a clear path forward. Whether it’s a simple cleaning or something more involved, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with.
We’ve been serving Central Islip families and businesses for over 25 years. As a family-owned company, we’re not going anywhere, and our reputation depends on doing right by our neighbors.
Central Islip’s older cesspool systems need experienced eyes. We understand how these systems were built, what typically fails first, and how Long Island’s soil conditions affect performance. That local knowledge means faster, more accurate diagnoses.
We support our community too. Military families, first responders, and seniors get special pricing because we believe in taking care of the people who take care of us.
We start by locating your cleanout or access point. Our waterproof camera goes down on a flexible cable that can navigate bends and changes in pipe diameter.
As the camera travels through your system, you watch the live feed with us. We point out what we’re seeing – whether it’s normal wear, a developing problem, or something that needs immediate attention. The camera records depth and location data, so we know exactly where any issues are positioned underground.
You get the USB recording when we’re done. No hidden problems, no surprise discoveries later. Just clear information about your system’s real condition so you can make informed decisions about maintenance or repairs.

Your camera inspection covers the full accessible length of your drain or sewer line. We document any blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or structural issues we find.
In Central Islip, many properties have older clay or cast iron pipes that develop specific problems over time. Our cameras can spot the early signs of deterioration that lead to expensive emergency repairs if left unchecked. We’re looking for offset joints, bellied sections, and areas where tree roots are starting to penetrate.
You receive a complete report with still images from the inspection, location measurements for any problems we find, and our professional recommendations. If repairs are needed, we’ll explain your options clearly – no pressure, just honest advice from neighbors who’ve been doing this work for decades.
Camera inspections typically run $300-500 depending on your system’s complexity and accessibility. This might seem like an expense, but it prevents the much higher costs of emergency repairs that can run into thousands of dollars.
If you decide to have us handle any repairs we discover, we offer a discount on the inspection fee. Think of it as an investment in avoiding costly surprises and getting the real story about your system’s condition.
The inspection pays for itself by eliminating guesswork and preventing unnecessary excavation work on your property.
Our cameras reveal everything happening inside your pipes that you can’t see from the surface. We spot root intrusion, pipe cracks, offset joints, and blockages caused by grease buildup or foreign objects.
The camera also shows us the overall condition of your pipe walls, whether they’re cast iron, clay, or PVC. We can see areas where the pipe is starting to deteriorate, bellied sections where waste collects, and connections between different pipe materials that often fail first.
You’ll see scale buildup, corrosion patterns, and any structural damage that could lead to bigger problems. The footage gives you a complete picture of what’s really going on underground.
Absolutely, especially in Central Islip where many homes have older cesspool systems. A camera inspection can reveal expensive problems that a standard home inspection might miss completely.
Many mortgage lenders now require video documentation of the sewer system’s condition before approving loans. Getting this done early in the buying process gives you negotiating power if repairs are needed, or helps you budget for future maintenance.
We’ve seen buyers discover thousands of dollars in hidden sewer problems after closing. A camera inspection upfront costs a few hundred dollars but can save you from inheriting someone else’s expensive headaches.
For preventive maintenance, we recommend camera inspections every 3-5 years, especially if your system is over 15 years old. Central Islip’s mature trees and older infrastructure mean root intrusion and pipe deterioration are common issues that develop gradually.
If you’re experiencing slow drainage, recurring clogs, or unusual odors, don’t wait for your regular schedule. These symptoms often indicate developing problems that camera inspection can pinpoint before they become emergencies.
Properties with older clay or cast iron pipes benefit from more frequent inspections since these materials are more susceptible to root damage and corrosion over time.
No, our camera inspections are completely non-invasive. The camera head is small and designed to travel through pipes without causing any damage to the interior walls or joints.
The flexible cable follows the natural path of your pipes, and we control the speed and direction carefully. Unlike traditional methods that might require digging or using harsh chemicals to clear blockages, camera inspection simply observes and records.
This non-destructive approach is why camera inspections have become the industry standard for diagnosing pipe problems. You get complete information about your system’s condition without any risk of making existing problems worse.
We explain exactly what we found, where it’s located, and what your options are for addressing it. You’re not pressured into immediate repairs – we believe in giving you the information you need to make informed decisions.
Some issues might be simple maintenance items you can handle yourself, while others require professional attention. We’ll discuss different approaches and their costs so you can choose what works best for your situation and budget.
You get the USB recording to review later or show to other professionals if you want additional opinions. Our goal is keeping you informed, not trapping you into expensive repairs you might not need right away.
