Hear From Our Clients
You get clear video proof of what’s happening inside your pipes. No more paying for repairs based on guesswork or vague explanations about “possible problems.”
Our high-definition cameras show you exactly where blockages are located, what’s causing slow drains, and whether tree roots have invaded your lines. You see the same footage we see, so you can make informed decisions about repairs.
Instead of digging up your entire yard hoping to find the problem, you get precise locations and realistic cost estimates. That’s the difference between a $2,500 targeted repair and a $15,000 emergency excavation project.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families since 1998. We’re the local company that understands Lake Grove’s unique challenges, from older cesspool systems to properties with mature trees that can cause root intrusion.
We’re not here to oversell or make promises we can’t keep. Our small, dedicated team focuses on honest assessments and transparent communication, so you know exactly what’s happening with your system.
As a family-owned business rooted in the community, we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we believe in taking care of our neighbors.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line, whether that’s through a cleanout or another entry point. Our waterproof camera travels through your pipes on a flexible cable, recording everything it sees.
You watch the inspection in real-time on our monitor, so you can see exactly what we’re finding. The camera shows blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or other issues with precise measurements and locations.
After the inspection, you get a detailed report with video footage and still images of any problems we discovered. If repairs are needed, we provide exact locations and realistic cost estimates so you can plan accordingly.

Our camera inspection covers your entire accessible sewer line, from your home to the main connection. We use professional-grade equipment that provides crystal-clear footage, even in challenging conditions.
You receive real-time viewing during the inspection, plus a written report with video documentation and GPS coordinates showing exactly where any problems are located. This eliminates guesswork for future repairs and prevents unnecessary excavation.
Lake Grove properties often deal with specific challenges like tree root intrusion from mature landscaping and older cesspool systems that require careful assessment. Our local experience means we know what to look for and can spot potential issues before they become expensive emergencies.
Camera inspection in Lake Grove typically costs between $270 and $1,000, depending on the length and complexity of your sewer line. Most residential inspections fall in the $400-600 range.
The final cost depends on factors like how far the camera needs to travel, accessibility of your cleanouts, and whether you need additional services like locating or detailed reporting. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
If you decide to have us handle repairs based on our findings, we offer a discount on the inspection cost. It’s our way of making sure you get the most value from our service.
Our cameras identify blockages, tree root intrusion, pipe cracks, collapsed sections, and buildup that’s restricting flow. We can also spot issues like back-pitched lines, joint separations, and foreign objects that have been flushed or washed down drains.
For Lake Grove properties, we commonly find tree root problems, especially in older systems where mature trees have had time to establish root systems near sewer lines. We also see grease buildup, debris accumulation, and age-related deterioration in older pipe materials.
The camera shows us exactly where problems are located and how extensive they are, which helps determine whether you need simple cleaning, targeted repairs, or more comprehensive solutions.
Most camera inspections take 1-3 hours, depending on the length of your sewer line and what we find during the process. Simple inspections of shorter lines might be completed in under an hour, while complex systems or those with multiple issues take longer.
If we encounter blockages that prevent the camera from traveling the full length of your line, we may need to clear obstructions first before completing the inspection. This ensures you get a thorough assessment of your entire system.
We never rush the process because missing problems during inspection can lead to bigger issues later. You’re paying for a complete assessment, and that’s what you’ll get.
Absolutely. Sewer line replacement can cost $8,000 to $25,000, so you need to know what you’re getting into before closing. Most home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because inspectors can’t see underground pipes.
Camera inspection fills that gap and protects you from expensive surprises after you move in. We work with real estate agents, home inspectors, and buyers throughout Suffolk County to provide the documentation needed for informed decisions.
If problems are found, you can use our detailed report to negotiate repair costs with the seller or budget for necessary work. It’s much better to know about issues upfront than discover them when your basement floods.
Regular camera inspection helps catch problems before they cause damage, but it doesn’t prevent issues from developing. What it does is give you early warning so you can address problems when they’re still manageable and affordable.
We recommend inspection every 3-5 years for most homes, or every 2 years if you have large trees near your sewer line. Early detection of root intrusion, developing cracks, or accumulating buildup allows for preventive maintenance instead of emergency repairs.
Think of it like getting regular checkups for your health – you’re not preventing all problems, but you’re catching them early when treatment is simpler and less expensive.
If we find significant issues, we provide you with detailed documentation including video footage, exact locations, and realistic repair options. You get time to review everything and make informed decisions without pressure.
We explain what each problem means for your system’s function and give you different approaches for addressing issues, from simple cleaning to more comprehensive repairs. Our goal is to help you understand your options so you can choose what works best for your situation and budget.
As a local company that’s been serving Suffolk County for over 25 years, we’re not going anywhere. We stand behind our assessments and recommendations because our reputation depends on honest, accurate service.
