You don’t have to wonder what’s causing slow drains or backups anymore. Camera inspection shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes and septic system without tearing up your yard or landscaping.
When tree roots invade your lines or blockages form deep underground, you need to see the problem to solve it right the first time. Our fiber-optic cameras travel through your system, recording everything in high-definition so you know the exact location, depth, and severity of any issues.
No more expensive excavation just to find the problem. No more guessing games that waste your time and money. You get clear answers and targeted solutions.
We’ve been serving Miller Place families for over 25 years. We’re not some out-of-town company that doesn’t understand Long Island soil conditions or local regulations.
Three generations of our family have built relationships in this community. We know Miller Place’s historic neighborhoods, from the original settlements near the Setalcott tribal lands to the newer suburban developments around Mount Sinai Road.
When your system needs attention, you’re working with neighbors who protect our local reputation with every job. That matters when you need honest answers about what’s really happening underground.
First, we insert a high-resolution fiber-optic camera into your system through existing access points like cleanouts or manholes. The waterproof camera travels through your pipes, recording everything it sees in real-time on our monitor.
You watch the inspection with us. We explain what we’re seeing as we go – whether it’s tree roots, blockages, pipe breaks, or normal wear and tear. The camera shows the exact location and depth of any problems we encounter.
Finally, you get a complete report with video documentation within 24 hours. If repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work, saving you time and minimizing property disruption. No more digging up half your yard to find one problem.

Every camera inspection includes a thorough examination of all accessible pipes and system components. We document the condition of your lines, identify problem areas, and provide clear video evidence of what we find.
Miller Place homes often deal with tree root intrusion, especially properties near the wooded areas that give our community its character. The mature oaks and maples that line our streets can send roots searching for water sources, and your sewer lines are prime targets. Our cameras can spot root problems before they cause expensive backups or require emergency repairs.
For real estate transactions, we provide the documentation banks and lenders require. Our detailed reports help buyers and sellers understand exactly what they’re dealing with, preventing surprises at closing. Suffolk County’s regulations make proper documentation more important than ever.
For most Miller Place homes, we recommend camera inspections every 3-5 years as preventive maintenance. If you live near mature trees – which is most of our community – consider inspections every 1-3 years since roots can infiltrate your lines and cause problems quickly.
You should also get an inspection before major plumbing work, when buying or selling a home, or anytime you notice recurring drain issues. Early detection saves you from emergency repairs and expensive excavation that can damage your landscaping and driveway.
Real estate transactions often require camera inspections to satisfy lender requirements, so factor this into your timeline if you’re buying or selling. It’s better to know about problems upfront than discover them during a rushed closing process.
No. Our fiber-optic cameras are designed specifically for pipe inspection and won’t damage your system. The cameras are waterproof, flexible, and sized appropriately for your pipes – from 2-inch residential lines up to larger main sewer connections.
We access your system through existing cleanouts, manholes, or other entry points. No digging required for the inspection itself. The camera simply travels through your lines like water would, recording everything it encounters without disturbing your property.
This non-invasive approach is exactly why camera inspection is so valuable. You get complete information about your system’s condition without any property disruption, landscaping damage, or risk to your pipes. Your yard stays intact while you get the answers you need.
Camera inspection reveals tree root intrusion, pipe breaks, blockages, joint separations, and corrosion inside your lines. We can see grease buildup, foreign objects, collapsed sections, and structural damage that would be impossible to detect any other way.
The camera shows us the exact location and depth of problems, so if repairs are needed, we know precisely where to work. This saves hours of excavation and guesswork that traditional methods require. Instead of digging multiple holes hoping to find the issue, we go straight to the problem.
We can also verify that previous repairs were done correctly, identify potential problem areas before they fail completely, and document the overall condition of your system for maintenance planning or real estate purposes.
Many banks and lenders require video camera inspection as part of the closing process, especially for properties with septic systems. This protects both buyers and lenders by documenting the actual condition of the wastewater system before money changes hands.
Even when not required, camera inspection is smart protection for buyers. Suffolk County’s changing regulations and the age of many systems here make it crucial to know what you’re purchasing before you own it. A failing system can cost $15,000-$30,000 to replace.
Sellers benefit too. Having current inspection documentation can speed up transactions and prevent last-minute surprises that could derail a sale. It shows you’re being transparent about your property’s condition, which buyers appreciate.
Most residential camera inspections take 1-2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your system. We work efficiently but thoroughly, making sure we examine all accessible areas of your pipes and septic system components.
The actual camera work moves fairly quickly, but we take time to explain what we’re seeing and answer your questions during the process. You’re not just getting a service – you’re learning about your system so you can make better maintenance decisions going forward.
After the inspection, we provide a detailed report with video documentation, usually within 24 hours. This gives you everything you need for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or repair planning purposes.
If we find issues, you’ll have exact documentation of what needs attention and where it’s located. This eliminates guesswork and allows for targeted repairs instead of expensive exploratory digging that can destroy your landscaping.
Minor problems like small blockages can often be cleared immediately with our equipment. For more significant issues like root intrusion or pipe breaks, we provide detailed repair recommendations with upfront pricing – no surprises or hidden costs.
Having video documentation also helps with insurance claims and gives you leverage when getting quotes from other contractors. You’ll know exactly what work is needed and can make informed decisions about repairs instead of relying on someone else’s estimates.
