You’re not guessing anymore about what’s causing your drain problems. Our camera inspection shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes – every crack, every blockage, every root intrusion that’s been hiding underground.
No more wondering if that slow drain means you’re headed for a five-figure system replacement. You see the real condition of your pipes and make informed decisions based on facts, not fear.
When you know exactly where the problem is and how serious it actually is, you can plan repairs on your timeline instead of dealing with emergency backups during the worst possible moments.
We’ve been serving Elwood and Suffolk County since 1998. We understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s sandy soil and high water table that affect your septic systems.
Our family-owned team knows Elwood’s older neighborhoods where clay and cast iron pipes are common, and we’ve seen how tree roots from those beautiful oak trees can infiltrate your lines. We’re not just another service company – we’re your neighbors who genuinely care about keeping your system running properly.
We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we believe in supporting our community, just like our community has supported us for over two decades.
We start by locating your main sewer cleanout – usually found near your foundation or in your yard. Our high-definition camera goes through this access point, so there’s no digging or disruption to your property.
The flexible camera travels through your entire pipe system, transmitting live video to our monitor. You can watch with us as we inspect every section, explaining what we’re seeing in real time. The camera captures clear footage of any blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or structural damage.
Within minutes, you have a complete picture of your pipe’s condition. We provide you with a copy of the video and explain exactly what needs attention now versus what you can monitor for the future. No surprises, no guesswork – just clear information to help you make the right decisions.

Your camera inspection uncovers the specific issues common in Elwood properties. We frequently find tree root penetration from the mature trees that make our neighborhoods beautiful but can infiltrate your pipes through tiny cracks.
The sandy soil conditions here can cause pipes to shift and create low spots where waste gets trapped. In older Elwood homes, we often discover clay or cast iron pipes that have cracked from ground movement or simply worn out after decades of use.
Our cameras also locate foreign objects, grease buildup, and construction debris that shouldn’t be in your lines. Most importantly, we can spot minor issues before they become major problems, helping you avoid the embarrassment and expense of sewage backups in your home.
Most camera inspections in Elwood range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. This small investment can save you thousands compared to emergency repairs that typically start around $3,000 and can reach $10,000 or more.
When you consider that sewer line replacement can cost $15,000 to $25,000, a camera inspection provides excellent insurance against costly surprises. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Our cameras reveal the most common problems affecting Elwood properties: tree root intrusion from oak and maple trees, pipe bellies caused by shifting sandy soil, and cracked or collapsed sections in older clay or cast iron pipes.
We also find blockages from grease buildup, foreign objects that shouldn’t be in your system, and structural damage from ground movement. The camera shows us exactly where problems are located – whether it’s 10 feet from your house or 40 feet underground.
Early detection means we can address issues while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix, rather than waiting until you have sewage backing up into your home.
Most camera inspections take 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. The actual camera work only takes about 5-10 minutes, but we spend time explaining what we’re seeing and answering your questions.
You get immediate results – no waiting days for a report. We show you the live video feed as we’re conducting the inspection, so you understand exactly what’s happening in your pipes right away.
This fast turnaround helps you make quick decisions, whether you’re dealing with an ongoing problem or buying a home and need answers during your inspection period.
Absolutely. Regular home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because inspectors can’t see underground pipes. A camera inspection fills that gap and protects you from expensive surprises after closing.
In Elwood’s older neighborhoods, many homes have original clay or cast iron pipes that may be nearing the end of their useful life. Tree roots from mature landscaping can also cause significant damage that’s not visible from the surface.
Getting a camera inspection during your due diligence period gives you negotiating power. If we find problems, you can ask the seller to make repairs or adjust the purchase price accordingly, rather than discovering issues after you own the home.
Not at all. Camera inspection is completely non-invasive. We use your existing cleanout access point, so there’s no digging, no disruption to your landscaping, and no mess to clean up afterward.
The camera is small and flexible, designed specifically to travel through pipes without causing any damage. Unlike the old days when finding pipe problems required digging trenches across your yard, modern camera technology lets us see everything without disturbing your property.
You get a complete inspection of your entire pipe system while your yard, driveway, and landscaping remain completely untouched.
We recommend camera inspections every 3-5 years for most Elwood homes, or every 2 years if you have large trees near your sewer line. Properties with older pipe systems or previous root problems may benefit from more frequent inspections.
If you’re experiencing recurring slow drains, occasional backups, or notice unusual odors around your property, don’t wait for your regular schedule – call us right away. These warning signs often indicate problems that camera inspection can quickly identify.
Regular inspections help you stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to emergencies. It’s much easier and less expensive to address issues when you have time to plan, rather than dealing with sewage backups at the worst possible moment.
