You’re dealing with slow drains, backups, or a property sale that requires inspection. The last thing you need is guesswork that leads to unnecessary digging and massive repair bills.

The camera inspection process is straightforward and non-invasive. First, we locate your access points and prepare the equipment. Then, a waterproof, high-resolution camera travels through your pipes, transmitting real-time video to a monitor above ground.
You can watch the inspection happen. The camera records the depth and exact location of any problems it finds – whether that’s root intrusion, pipe damage, blockages, or structural issues.
After the inspection, you receive a detailed assessment of what was found, where the problems are located, and what your options are for addressing them. No surprises, no pressure – just the facts you need to make informed decisions about your property.

Camera inspection can identify root intrusion, pipe cracks or collapses, blockages from grease or debris, improper connections, and structural damage to your cesspool or drain lines. In East Islip’s sandy soil conditions, it’s particularly good at finding areas where pipes have shifted or separated.
The camera can also locate your cesspool if you’re not sure where it is, check the condition of baffles and inlet/outlet pipes, and identify whether problems are in the house connection lines or the cesspool itself. This information is crucial for Suffolk County compliance and helps you understand what repairs are actually necessary.
For older East Islip properties, camera inspection often reveals whether your system meets current standards or needs upgrades to comply with the county’s 2019 cesspool regulations.

The inspection provides documentation that your system is functioning properly and helps identify any issues that might come up during the buyer’s inspection. This allows you to address problems proactively rather than scrambling to fix them during closing negotiations.

Professional camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or cesspool system. The cameras are designed specifically for this purpose, with protective housings that can navigate bends and obstacles without causing harm to your plumbing.
The equipment we use is sized appropriately for your system and operated by professionals who understand how to navigate different pipe materials and configurations safely.
Unlike excavation or other invasive diagnostic methods, camera inspection leaves your yard undisturbed and your system functioning normally. It’s the safest way to get accurate information about your cesspool and drain system condition.
Preparation for camera inspection is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure the best results. Avoid using your drains for a few hours before the inspection if possible, and let us know about any recent backups or problems you’ve experienced.
If you know where your cesspool access points are located, having them accessible saves time. However, our experienced technicians can locate access points if needed. Clear any obstacles around potential access areas in your yard.
Most importantly, be prepared to ask questions during the inspection. We encourage homeowners to watch the process and understand what they’re seeing. This helps you make informed decisions about any necessary repairs or maintenance.
