Your pipes are hidden underground and behind walls, but problems don’t have to stay hidden. When drains run slow, sewage backs up, or you smell something foul, you need answers fast.
Our camera inspection service eliminates the guesswork. You’ll see exactly what’s blocking your pipes, where cracks have formed, or if tree roots have invaded your system. No more paying for repairs based on hunches or worst-case scenarios.
This isn’t about selling you the most expensive fix. It’s about showing you what’s actually wrong so you can make smart decisions about your property and your money.
We’ve been serving East Farmingdale families since 1998. We understand how Suffolk County’s soil conditions affect your septic system and what problems are common in this area.
We’re not some big company that treats every job the same. We know your neighborhood, we know the local regulations, and we know what works. When you call us, you’re getting technicians who’ve seen it all in East Farmingdale.
Our family-owned approach means you get straight answers, fair pricing, and service that actually solves your problems instead of creating new ones.
We start by locating the best access point to your pipe system. Our high-definition camera travels through your pipes on a flexible cable, transmitting real-time video back to our monitor.
You can watch alongside us as we navigate through your system. We’ll show you blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or whatever else might be causing problems. The camera records everything, so you have documentation of your system’s condition.
Once we’ve completed the inspection, we explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon, no scare tactics. Just honest information about what needs attention and what can wait.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline and budget for any repairs, so you can plan accordingly instead of facing surprise emergencies.

Every camera inspection includes a complete visual survey of your accessible pipe system, real-time monitoring you can watch, and digital recording of the entire inspection for your records.
In East Farmingdale, we see common issues like root intrusion from mature trees, settling that causes pipe misalignment, and buildup from the area’s hard water conditions. Our cameras catch these problems before they become expensive emergencies.
We also handle inspections required for real estate transactions. If you’re buying or selling property in East Farmingdale, our camera inspection provides the documentation lenders often require and gives buyers confidence in their investment.
The inspection typically takes 1-2 hours depending on your system size and complexity. You’ll have answers the same day, not weeks later after unnecessary excavation.
Camera inspection pricing in East Farmingdale typically ranges from $200 to $600, depending on the length and complexity of your pipe system. Most residential inspections fall in the $300-400 range.
The cost depends on factors like how much of your system needs to be inspected, accessibility of your cleanout ports, and whether we’re looking at main sewer lines or branch lines throughout your property. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Compare that to the cost of digging up your yard to find a problem the old way, or worse, the cost of major repairs that could have been prevented with early detection. A camera inspection often pays for itself by preventing one expensive emergency.
Our high-definition cameras show you cracks, blockages, root intrusions, pipe misalignment, corrosion, and buildup inside your pipes. You’ll see exactly where problems are located and how severe they’ve become.
The camera can identify what’s causing slow drains – whether it’s grease buildup, tree roots, or something that shouldn’t have been flushed. We can spot early signs of pipe deterioration before they become major leaks.
However, cameras can’t see outside the pipe, so while we can spot cracks and potential leak points, we can’t directly see water escaping into the surrounding soil. That requires additional testing methods we can discuss if needed.
If you’re buying a property in East Farmingdale with a septic system, a camera inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make. Many lenders now require video documentation of sewer line condition before approving mortgages.
East Farmingdale has many older homes with aging septic systems. A camera inspection reveals the true condition of pipes and can uncover problems that aren’t visible during a standard home inspection. Finding major issues before you buy gives you negotiating power or lets you walk away from a costly problem.
We’ve seen buyers avoid thousands in unexpected repairs by spending a few hundred on inspection first. It’s especially important in areas like East Farmingdale where mature trees and settling soil can cause pipe damage over time.
Most residential camera inspections in East Farmingdale take 1-2 hours to complete. The exact time depends on the size of your property, how much of your pipe system we’re inspecting, and whether we encounter any access issues.
Simple main line inspections might take just 45 minutes, while comprehensive inspections of multiple branch lines can take up to 3 hours. We work efficiently but don’t rush the process – thoroughness matters when you’re making repair decisions.
You’ll get answers the same day. We review findings with you immediately after the inspection and provide recommendations while everything is fresh. No waiting weeks for reports or follow-up appointments to learn what we found.
Yes, our camera system includes distance tracking that tells us exactly how many feet from the access point we’ve traveled. When we spot a problem, we can pinpoint its location within inches.
This precision means if excavation is needed, we dig in exactly the right spot instead of tearing up your entire yard searching for the problem. It also helps us give you accurate repair estimates since we know exactly what we’re dealing with.
For East Farmingdale properties, this precision is especially valuable because many homes have mature landscaping and hardscaping that’s expensive to disturb. Knowing exactly where to dig saves your property and your wallet.
Preparation is simple but important for getting the best results. Avoid using your drains for about 2 hours before we arrive, and don’t use drain cleaning chemicals for at least 24 hours prior to inspection.
We need access to your main sewer cleanout, which is usually located near your house or between your house and the street. If you know where it is, clearing any vegetation or debris from around it helps us get started faster.
Let us know if you’ve had any recent plumbing work done or if you know of any specific problem areas. This background information helps us focus our inspection and provide more targeted recommendations for your East Farmingdale property.
