You’re not dealing with mystery problems anymore. Our camera inspection shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes in real-time, so you can address issues while they’re still manageable.
Most Islandia homeowners are shocked when they see what’s actually going on underground. Tree roots, cracks, blockages, and deterioration that would cost thousands in emergency repairs become simple, planned maintenance when caught early.
You get immediate answers, clear documentation, and a smart plan forward. No more wondering if that slow drain means trouble or if your system is about to fail.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families since 1998, and we understand exactly how Islandia’s soil conditions affect your cesspool performance. We’re not just another service company – we’re your neighbors who’ve built our reputation on honest, reliable work.
Our family-owned business keeps things simple: we show up when we say we will, use professional-grade equipment that gives you crystal-clear answers, and never oversell you services you don’t need. We’ve seen every type of system problem Long Island can throw at us, and we know how to help you avoid the expensive surprises.
First, we locate the best access point to your sewer system – usually through a cleanout or sometimes a toilet connection. Our waterproof camera travels through your entire pipe system on a flexible cable, reaching every inch while sending live video back to our monitor.
You watch along as we identify any clogs, cracks, root intrusion, or structural issues. The camera navigates 90-degree turns and works in pipes as small as 2 inches, so we see everything that matters.
Within minutes, you have complete visual documentation of your system’s condition. We provide GPS coordinates of any problem areas, so if repairs are needed later, we know exactly where to work without damaging your landscaping or utilities.

Every camera inspection includes real-time video viewing, detailed written documentation, and GPS mapping of any issues we find. You receive still images and video footage of problem areas, plus our professional assessment of what needs attention and what can wait.
For Islandia properties, this service is especially valuable because many local homes still use older cesspool systems that show deterioration after 15-20 years of service. Suffolk County also requires inspections during property transfers, making our documentation essential for real estate transactions.
The inspection typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your system’s complexity, and you get immediate results. If we find issues, we provide exact repair locations and cost estimates so you can plan accordingly without any surprises.
Most residential camera inspections in Islandia range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and system accessibility. Compare that to emergency sewer repairs that start around $3,000 and can reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
The inspection pays for itself by catching problems while they’re still manageable. We also credit the inspection fee toward any repairs, so you’re not paying twice. You get clear answers about your system’s condition for a fraction of what emergency repairs would cost.
Most Islandia homeowners should schedule camera inspections every 1-3 years for routine maintenance. If you’re experiencing repeated clogs, backups, strange odors, or slow drains, schedule one sooner rather than waiting.
Properties with older systems or large trees near sewer lines benefit from more frequent inspections. Systems over 15 years old should be checked annually since most Long Island cesspools show signs of deterioration after this point. Regular inspections help you avoid emergencies and plan maintenance on your schedule instead of dealing with crisis repairs.
No, camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes in any way. Our waterproof cameras are designed specifically for sewer and drain systems, using flexible cables that navigate bends and turns without causing harm.
The process is actually much safer for your system than traditional methods that might involve digging or using harsh chemicals to locate problems. You get all the diagnostic information you need without any risk to your existing plumbing infrastructure. It’s the smartest way to assess your system’s condition.
Camera inspection reveals tree root intrusion, pipe cracks, blockages, structural damage, and areas where pipes have shifted or collapsed. We can also identify grease buildup, debris accumulation, and signs of early deterioration before they cause system failures.
For Islandia properties, we commonly find issues related to aging cesspool systems, including distribution line problems and absorption area concerns. The camera shows us exactly what’s causing slow drains, recurring backups, or mysterious odors, so we can address the real problem instead of just treating symptoms.
Absolutely. Buying a Long Island home without sewer camera inspection is like buying a car without checking the engine. Sewer line replacement costs $8,000 to $25,000, so you need to know what you’re getting into before closing.
Most standard home inspections don’t include underground pipe evaluation because inspectors can’t see what’s happening below ground. Our camera inspection fills that gap and protects you from expensive surprises after you move in. The documentation can also be used in purchase negotiations if problems are discovered.
When we find issues, you get exact GPS coordinates showing where problems are located, plus our professional assessment of urgency and repair options. We provide clear cost estimates so you can make informed decisions about timing and approach.
Minor issues might be addressed with simple maintenance, while major problems may require targeted repairs or system upgrades. The key advantage is that you’re making these decisions based on facts, not guesswork. You can plan repairs on your schedule and budget instead of dealing with emergency situations that always cost more and cause more disruption.
