Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of the guessing games. Your drains are slow, there’s a backup, or you smell something that shouldn’t be there. Every contractor has a different theory, but nobody can tell you what’s actually happening inside your pipes.
Camera inspection changes that. You see the problem with your own eyes. We feed a high-resolution camera through your sewer line and show you exactly what’s causing the issue – whether it’s a clog, crack, root intrusion, or something else entirely.
No more throwing money at problems that might not even exist. No more digging up your yard based on hunches. You get real footage of your actual pipes, and you can make informed decisions about what comes next.
We’ve been serving Holtsville and Suffolk County families since 1998. We’re not the biggest company around, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the local team that shows up, does the work right, and tells you the truth about what we find.
This is our community. We live here, work here, and care about the people we serve. That’s why we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts. It’s why we support organizations like Paws of War.
When you call us for camera inspection, you’re getting decades of local experience and a commitment to honest service. We don’t oversell, we don’t make promises we can’t keep, and we always put your needs first.
We start by accessing your sewer line through an existing cleanout or creating a temporary access point. Our waterproof camera, about the size of a smartphone camera, is attached to a flexible cable that we feed through your pipes.
As the camera moves through your system, it transmits real-time video to our monitor. We can see everything – clogs, cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, or structural issues. The camera includes precise footage counters so we know exactly where any problems are located.
You watch the inspection with us. We explain what we’re seeing and answer your questions in plain language. When we’re done, you get a copy of the footage for your records. If repairs are needed, you’ll know exactly what’s wrong and where, so there’s no unnecessary work or surprise costs.

Your camera inspection includes a complete video survey of your sewer line from your home to the street connection. We document any issues we find with precise location measurements, so if repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work.
In Suffolk County, many properties still have older cesspool systems or aging septic tanks. Our camera inspection can identify problems before they become emergencies, which is especially important given the county’s new regulations requiring proper septic systems for all replacements.
We also provide camera inspections for real estate transactions. Whether you’re buying or selling in Holtsville, knowing the condition of your sewer system protects your investment. Many mortgage companies now require video documentation of sewer lines, and we can provide the certification you need.
Most camera inspections take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of your sewer line and what we find. If your line runs from your house to the street, that’s typically 50 to 100 feet of pipe to inspect.
The actual inspection moves quickly – we can cover about 100 feet of pipe in 15-20 minutes. But we take time to thoroughly examine any issues we discover and explain what you’re seeing on the monitor.
If we find a simple clog, we might be able to clear it immediately after the inspection. More complex issues require discussion about repair options, but you’ll have all the information you need to make the right decision.
Camera inspection reveals the most common sewer line problems we see in Suffolk County homes. Tree roots are a big issue here – they grow into pipe joints and can completely block your line or cause it to collapse.
We also find grease buildup, especially in kitchen drain lines, and debris accumulation from years of use. Older pipes may show corrosion, cracks, or sections that have started to sag or separate.
Sometimes we discover that your “sewer problem” is actually a simple clog that can be cleared with hydro-jetting. Other times, we find structural damage that requires pipe repair or replacement. The camera shows us exactly what’s happening, so you get the right solution instead of guesswork.
Yes, especially in Suffolk County where many homes still rely on older cesspool or septic systems. A sewer camera inspection during your home inspection period can save you thousands of dollars and major headaches later.
We’ve found collapsed sewer lines, root-damaged pipes, and failing cesspool systems that weren’t obvious during a standard home inspection. These problems can cost $5,000 to $15,000 or more to fix, and they’re not always covered by home warranties.
Many mortgage companies now require sewer line documentation, especially for older homes. Getting the inspection done during your due diligence period gives you leverage to negotiate repairs or adjust your offer based on what we find.
No, camera inspection is completely non-invasive. We use existing access points like cleanouts whenever possible, so there’s no digging required just for the inspection.
The camera is small and designed specifically for sewer lines. It won’t damage your pipes or get stuck – the flexible cable allows us to navigate bends and turns safely.
We protect your property during the inspection. If we need to remove a toilet or access a cleanout, we clean up afterward and leave everything as we found it. The goal is to get you answers without creating additional problems.
Camera inspection is one of the most cost-effective diagnostic tools available for sewer problems. The inspection itself costs much less than digging up your yard to find a problem that might not exist.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. If you decide to have us handle any repairs we discover, we often apply the inspection cost toward the repair work.
Consider that a single unnecessary excavation can cost thousands of dollars and destroy your landscaping. Camera inspection eliminates that risk by showing you exactly what’s wrong and where, so you only pay for the work you actually need.
Yes, camera inspection is especially valuable for cesspool systems, which are common in older Suffolk County homes. We can inspect the pipes leading to your cesspool and often examine the cesspool structure itself.
We frequently find root intrusion in cesspool systems, where tree roots have grown through pipe joints or into the cesspool walls. We also discover when cesspools are failing or when the distribution pipes are clogged or damaged.
With Suffolk County’s new regulations requiring septic system upgrades, camera inspection helps you understand your current system’s condition. If your cesspool needs replacement, the video documentation shows exactly what needs to be done and helps ensure you get the right system for your property.
