You’re tired of guessing what’s wrong with your drains. Slow drainage, strange sounds, recurring backups – these problems don’t fix themselves, and throwing money at temporary solutions gets old fast.
Camera inspection cuts through the mystery. Our high-resolution cameras travel through your entire system, showing you exactly where the problem is and what’s causing it. No more digging up your yard hoping to find the issue. No more paying for repairs that don’t address the real problem.
When you know what’s actually happening in your pipes, you can make smart decisions about repairs, maintenance, or replacement. You’ll sleep better knowing your system is working properly, and you’ll save money by addressing issues before they turn into emergencies.
We’ve been solving drainage problems for Gordon Heights families for over 25 years. We’re not just another service company – we’re your neighbors who understand what it’s like living with Suffolk County’s unique soil conditions and aging infrastructure.
Gordon Heights has a proud history dating back to the 1920s, and many homes here still rely on older septic systems that need careful attention. We’ve worked on everything from the original cesspools installed decades ago to the newest advanced treatment systems required by Suffolk County’s environmental regulations.
Our team knows which problems are common in this area and how to fix them right the first time. When your drains act up, you want someone who understands your system and can give you straight answers about what needs to be done.
We start by accessing your system through existing cleanouts or entry points – no digging required. Our waterproof, high-resolution camera gets inserted into your pipes and travels through the entire line, sending live footage back to our screen above ground.
As the camera moves through your system, we’re watching for clogs, cracks, root intrusions, pipe misalignment, or any other issues that could cause problems. The camera records the depth and exact location of any defects, so we know precisely where to focus our attention.
Most inspections take one to two hours depending on your system’s size and complexity. When we’re finished, you’ll see the actual footage of your pipes and get a detailed report explaining what we found. No technical jargon – just clear explanations of what’s happening and what your options are for addressing any issues.

Gordon Heights homeowners face unique challenges with Suffolk County’s new septic regulations and the area’s soil conditions. Many properties here were built when environmental standards were different, and older systems often need updates to meet current requirements. Our inspection helps you understand where your system stands and what improvements might be needed.
We use the latest fiber-optic and electronic location technology to pinpoint problems without damaging your property. Whether you’re dealing with a current issue, buying or selling a home, or just want to know the condition of your system, our inspection gives you the information you need to make informed decisions about your property.
Camera inspection costs typically range from $275 to $500 for most residential properties in Gordon Heights, depending on the length and complexity of your system. The investment pays for itself by helping you avoid expensive surprises and unnecessary repairs.
We provide upfront pricing before we start, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Many homeowners find that a camera inspection actually saves them money by identifying the real source of problems instead of guessing and trying multiple repair attempts. If you’re buying or selling a home, the inspection cost is minimal compared to discovering major septic issues after closing.
Our cameras detect a wide range of issues including tree root intrusions, pipe cracks or collapses, grease buildup, foreign objects, misaligned joints, and corrosion damage. We can also identify areas where pipes are sagging or have shifted due to soil movement.
In Gordon Heights, we commonly find root intrusions from mature trees and damage from soil shifting – both typical for this area. The camera shows us exactly where problems are located and how severe they are, so we can recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes what seems like a major issue can be resolved with simple cleaning, while other times we’ll spot serious problems before they cause backups or system failures.
Absolutely. Camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or septic system in any way. The camera is designed specifically for this purpose, with a protective waterproof housing that slides smoothly through your pipes without causing scratches or other damage.
This is actually one of the safest ways to check your system’s condition. Traditional methods often required digging or dismantling parts of your system just to see what was happening inside. With camera technology, we can inspect every inch of your pipes without disturbing anything. The process is so gentle that we can use it on older, more fragile pipe materials without any risk.
Most residential camera inspections in Gordon Heights take between one and two hours, depending on the size and layout of your system. Simple systems with shorter pipe runs can be completed in about an hour, while larger or more complex systems may take up to two hours.
We don’t rush the process because thoroughness is important. After the camera work is complete, we spend additional time reviewing the footage with you and explaining what we found. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your system’s condition and any recommendations for maintenance or repairs. We can usually complete the entire process, including our discussion of findings, within a single morning or afternoon appointment.
Yes, you receive a complete video recording of your inspection along with a detailed written report explaining our findings. The video footage is yours to keep, and many homeowners find it valuable for insurance documentation, real estate transactions, or future reference when planning maintenance.
The report includes timestamps showing exactly where any problems are located in your system, photos of significant findings, and our professional recommendations for addressing any issues. This documentation can be especially helpful if you’re selling your home, as it provides buyers with confidence about the condition of your septic system. Some homeowners also use the footage to show other contractors exactly what needs to be repaired, ensuring accurate estimates and proper repairs.
Schedule a camera inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring backups, unusual odors, or gurgling sounds from your plumbing. It’s also smart to get an inspection before buying or selling a home, after any major plumbing work, or if your system hasn’t been inspected in several years.
In Gordon Heights, we recommend camera inspections every 3-5 years as part of regular maintenance, especially for older systems. Suffolk County’s new septic regulations also make inspections valuable for understanding whether your system meets current standards. Many homeowners schedule inspections proactively to catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies. If you’re planning any landscaping or construction near your septic system, a camera inspection can help you locate pipes and avoid costly accidents.
