Your drains are backing up again. Another company wants to dig up your yard based on a hunch. You’re tired of throwing money at problems that keep coming back.
Here’s what changes when you can actually see inside your pipes. No more surprise repair bills because someone “thought” they knew what was wrong. No more torn-up landscaping for a problem that could have been fixed with a simple cleaning. No more wondering if you’re getting the whole truth about what needs to be done.
Our camera inspection gives you the facts. You see the blockage, the crack, or the root intrusion on screen in real time. You know exactly where the problem is located and what it will take to fix it. Most importantly, you know you’re only paying for what actually needs to be done.
We’ve been crawling through Suffolk County pipes for over 25 years. Not because we love tight spaces, but because East Setauket homeowners deserve to know what they’re dealing with before making expensive decisions.
Most of Suffolk County relies on septic systems, and most of those systems are aging. That means you need someone who understands how these older systems behave and what typically goes wrong. We’ve seen it all in East Setauket – from tree roots that found their way into 1970s clay pipes to modern PVC that wasn’t installed quite right.
We’re not here to sell you the most expensive option. We’re here to show you what’s actually happening and help you make the smart choice for your situation and your budget.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line – usually through a cleanout or sometimes directly through your toilet or floor drain. Our waterproof camera goes in on a flexible cable that can navigate every turn and bend in your system.
The camera sends live video back to our monitor, so you can watch along as we inspect your pipes. We’re looking for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe separation, or any other issues that might be causing your problems. The camera can inspect pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter, and we can travel hundreds of feet through your system.
When we find something, we mark the exact location and distance from our entry point. No more digging random holes hoping to find the problem. We know exactly where to go and what we’ll find when we get there. You get a clear explanation of what we found and your options for fixing it.

Our camera inspection includes a complete visual examination of your sewer lines with real-time monitoring. You’ll see exactly what we see on our monitor, and we’ll explain what everything means as we go.
We provide precise location marking for any problems we find, so there’s no guesswork if repairs are needed. The inspection footage is recorded for your records, which is particularly valuable if you’re buying or selling a home in East Setauket.
For East Setauket residents, this service is especially important given the area’s reliance on septic systems and the age of many local properties. Suffolk County’s soil conditions and the prevalence of mature trees mean root intrusion is a common issue we encounter. Our inspection can spot these problems early, before they turn into expensive emergencies or sewage backups in your home.
Camera inspection pricing depends on the complexity and length of your sewer system, but most residential inspections in East Setauket range from $200-$400. This investment often saves homeowners thousands by identifying exactly what needs to be fixed rather than guessing.
Many of our customers find the inspection pays for itself by avoiding unnecessary repairs. When you know exactly where a blockage is located, you can often clear it with targeted cleaning instead of replacing entire sections of pipe. For real estate transactions, the inspection cost is minimal compared to discovering major sewer problems after closing.
Our high-definition cameras can identify root intrusion, pipe cracks, blockages, grease buildup, pipe separation, collapsed sections, and foreign objects. The camera also shows us the overall condition of your pipe walls and any areas where problems might develop in the future.
In East Setauket’s older homes, we commonly find tree roots that have grown into joints between pipe sections, especially in clay sewer lines installed decades ago. We can also spot where pipes have shifted or settled, creating low spots where waste tends to collect. The camera shows us pipe material, diameter changes, and the exact distance to any problems from our entry point.
Absolutely, especially in Suffolk County where most homes rely on septic systems. A camera inspection reveals the true condition of the sewer lines before you own the problems. Many lenders actually require video documentation for septic system loans.
East Setauket has many older homes with original sewer lines that may not have been updated in decades. A $300 inspection can uncover thousands of dollars in hidden sewer problems that aren’t visible during a standard home inspection. We’ve helped buyers negotiate repair costs with sellers or walk away from houses with major underground issues they would have inherited.
Most residential camera inspections in East Setauket take 1-2 hours, depending on the length and complexity of your sewer system. We take the time to thoroughly inspect all accessible lines and explain what we’re seeing as we go.
The process isn’t rushed because accuracy is crucial. We’re looking for problems that could cost you thousands if missed, so we inspect every section methodically. You’ll have time to ask questions and understand what we find. We provide the recorded footage and a written summary of our findings before we leave.
Yes, that’s one of the biggest benefits of proactive camera inspection. We can spot developing issues like root intrusion, pipe settling, or grease buildup before they create complete blockages or sewage backups in your home.
Early detection is especially valuable in East Setauket where many homes have septic systems that can’t handle backups the way city sewer connections might. We often find partial blockages or structural issues that will become major problems within months. Addressing these issues early typically costs a fraction of emergency repairs after a backup occurs.
We provide you with clear documentation of any issues we find, including the exact location and severity of problems. You’ll have the video evidence and our professional assessment to make informed decisions about repairs.
Not every problem requires immediate action, and we’ll help you prioritize based on your situation and budget. Some issues can be monitored, others need prompt attention, and some require immediate repair. We work with you to understand your options, from simple cleaning to partial repairs to full line replacement, so you can choose the approach that makes sense for your East Setauket property.
