When your drains run slow or toilets back up, you don’t want someone showing up with a shovel hoping they’ll find the problem. You want to see exactly what’s wrong, where it’s located, and how serious the damage really is.
Our waterproof cameras travel through your entire sewer system, sending back real-time footage to our technicians above ground. We spot cracks, blockages, root intrusions, and pipe collapses without tearing up your landscaping or driveway.
You get a clear diagnosis in hours, not days. No more digging random holes in your yard. No more wondering if the repair estimate is accurate. You see what we see, and you make informed decisions about your property.
We’ve been serving Dix Hills families since 1998. We’re the local company with over 325 five-star reviews who shows up when we say we will and tells you exactly what we find.
We know Dix Hills properties. Many homes here still have original cesspool systems from decades ago, and Long Island’s clay soil creates unique drainage challenges. Our cameras have seen it all – from tree roots completely blocking lines 40 feet underground to pipe bellies caused by shifting sandy soil.
We’re Suffolk County licensed, fully insured, and we offer military and senior discounts because we believe in taking care of our community.
First, we locate your access points and prepare our equipment. Our high-definition camera gets inserted through a cleanout or other entry point – no need to remove toilets or tear up floors unless absolutely necessary.
The waterproof camera travels through your pipes on a flexible cable, sending live video back to our monitor. We can see every inch of your system, from the house connection all the way to your cesspool or the street connection.
As we move through the line, radio transmitters record the exact depth and location of any problems we find. If there’s a blockage at 35 feet or a crack at 18 feet deep, we mark it precisely on the ground above. When the inspection’s complete, you get a clear explanation of what we found and realistic options for fixing it.

Your camera inspection includes a complete video recording of your entire system, precise location marking of any problems, and detailed photos of trouble spots that we can email to you for future reference or contractor estimates.
This service is essential for Dix Hills homeowners dealing with the area’s unique challenges. Long Island’s clay soil conditions reduce drainage around cesspool walls, and many properties have mature trees whose roots love to infiltrate sewer lines. Our cameras catch these issues before they become expensive emergencies.
If you’re buying a home in Dix Hills, this inspection can save you thousands. Many properties here were built when environmental regulations were different, and older systems may need updates. Banks and lenders often require video inspections for mortgage approvals, and the results give you solid negotiating power if problems are found.
Most residential camera inspections in Dix Hills range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. Compare that to emergency sewer repairs that start around $3,000 and can reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
The inspection pays for itself by catching problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix. If you’re buying a home, the cost is minimal compared to discovering a failed sewer system after closing that could cost $8,000 to $25,000 to replace.
We include video recording, precise problem location marking, and detailed photos in our service. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Our cameras commonly find tree root intrusions, which are especially problematic in Dix Hills where mature oak and maple trees have extensive root systems that seek out sewer pipes. We also spot pipe bellies caused by Long Island’s shifting sandy soil, where pipes sag and create low spots that trap waste.
Other frequent discoveries include cracked or collapsed pipes from age, grease buildup in kitchen lines, and damaged baffles in older cesspool systems. Many Dix Hills properties still have original cesspools from the 1960s and 70s that show their age.
Clay soil conditions around here also reduce drainage, causing systems to fail prematurely. Our cameras show you exactly what’s happening so you can address problems before they cause backups into your home.
Absolutely. Buying a home in Dix Hills without sewer camera inspection is like buying a car without checking the engine. Many properties here have older cesspool systems, and sewer line replacement costs $8,000 to $25,000.
Most home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because inspectors can’t see underground pipes. Our camera inspection fills that gap and protects you from expensive surprises after closing. Banks and lenders often require video inspections for mortgage approvals anyway.
We work with real estate agents and home inspectors throughout Suffolk County. Our inspection reports help you negotiate repair costs or give you confidence that the sewer system is in good condition. The small upfront cost can save you thousands later.
Most residential camera inspections take 1-2 hours to complete, depending on your system’s length and complexity. We can usually schedule service within 24-48 hours of your call, and emergency inspections are available when needed.
The actual camera work is efficient – our equipment moves through pipes quickly while recording everything. The time investment comes from locating access points, setting up equipment, and explaining our findings to you afterward.
You get results immediately. No waiting days for reports or wondering what we found. We show you the video footage right on site and mark any problem locations on your property so you know exactly where issues are located.
Schedule inspection when you notice slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds from fixtures, or sewage odors around your property. These are early warning signs that something’s wrong in your sewer system.
We also recommend preventive inspections every 3-5 years for most homes, or every 2 years if you have large trees near your sewer line. Dix Hills properties with mature landscaping need more frequent monitoring because root intrusion is so common here.
Before any major home renovations, camera inspection ensures your existing sewer system can handle increased usage. And if you’re dealing with recurring drain clogs that keep coming back, inspection shows you why traditional cleaning isn’t solving the problem.
When we find problems, we explain exactly what’s wrong and give you realistic repair options. Minor issues like small root intrusions can often be cleared with high-pressure jetting. More serious problems like collapsed pipes require targeted repairs or replacement.
Because our cameras pinpoint exact locations, repairs are much more efficient and less expensive. Instead of digging up your entire yard looking for problems, contractors know exactly where to work. This saves you money on excavation and landscaping restoration.
We provide detailed video footage and photos that you can share with repair contractors for accurate estimates. Many problems we find are covered by homeowner’s insurance, especially when tree roots cause pipe damage. Having professional documentation helps with insurance claims.
