You’re tired of contractors telling you your line needs replacement without showing you proof. Camera inspection changes that completely.
Instead of digging up your yard based on guesswork, you see the actual problem on a monitor in real-time. Root intrusion at the 47-foot mark. A crack near your foundation. A simple clog that doesn’t require excavation.
This isn’t about fancy technology for its own sake. It’s about making informed decisions that save you money and prevent unnecessary property damage in Montauk’s unique coastal environment.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County since 1998. We understand how Montauk’s sandy soil affects drainage and how seasonal population changes stress your system.
When other companies are learning on your property, we’re solving problems we’ve seen hundreds of times before. Your seasonal rental that gets hammered in summer. Your year-round home dealing with salt air corrosion.
We’ve worked on every type of cesspool system in Montauk, from older simple cesspools to modern septic systems. That experience matters when you need answers, not experiments.
We start by locating your cleanout or access point. No digging required in most cases.
Our waterproof camera goes into your line on a flexible cable, transmitting live video to a monitor. You watch alongside our technician as we navigate through your pipes, identifying any problems and their exact locations.
The footage gets recorded, so you have documentation for insurance, property sales, or future reference. We measure distances to pinpoint problem areas, making any necessary repairs precise and cost-effective.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on your system size. You get a clear understanding of your pipes’ condition and realistic options for addressing any issues we find.

Our high-resolution cameras detect clogs, cracks, root intrusion, pipe misalignment, and structural damage that traditional methods miss. The equipment handles Montauk’s challenging conditions, from tight turns in older systems to newer installations.
You receive recorded footage of the entire inspection, detailed measurements showing problem locations, and a written report explaining what we found. This documentation proves valuable for property transactions, insurance claims, and maintenance planning.
Montauk properties face unique challenges. Sandy soil allows rapid water movement, affecting how problems develop. Seasonal usage variations stress systems differently than year-round homes. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components. Our local experience means we know what to look for and how these conditions affect your specific system type.
Camera inspection typically costs $200-400 depending on your system complexity and access points. This investment often saves thousands by identifying the exact problem location and scope.
Without camera inspection, contractors often recommend expensive repairs based on guesswork. You might pay for pipe replacement when a simple cleaning would solve the issue. Or miss a serious problem that becomes an emergency during peak season.
The inspection pays for itself by preventing unnecessary work and catching problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix.
Camera inspection identifies most common cesspool issues including root intrusion, pipe cracks, blockages, structural damage, and misaligned connections. The technology works well for both older cesspool systems and modern septic installations.
However, cameras can’t see through solid blockages or evaluate the condition of your drain field. If we encounter a complete obstruction, we’ll need to clear it first before completing the inspection.
For Montauk properties, we’re specifically looking for issues common to coastal areas: corrosion from salt air, settlement problems in sandy soil, and stress damage from seasonal usage variations.
Most Montauk properties benefit from camera inspection every 3-5 years, or when experiencing recurring problems like slow drains or backups. Seasonal rental properties may need more frequent inspection due to heavy usage periods.
If you’re buying or selling property, camera inspection provides valuable documentation of system condition. It’s also smart to inspect before major renovations that could affect your cesspool access or function.
Properties with known issues like root problems or older pipe materials should consider annual inspection to catch problems early when repairs are still manageable and affordable.
Professional camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or cesspool. The cameras are designed specifically for sewer and drain inspection, with protective housings and flexible cables that navigate safely through your system.
We use appropriate camera sizes for different pipe diameters and avoid forcing equipment through tight spots that could cause damage. The process is much gentler than traditional methods like snaking or rodding.
The biggest risk to your system comes from ignoring problems until they become emergencies. Camera inspection actually protects your investment by identifying issues before they cause serious damage to your property.
If we discover significant issues, we’ll explain exactly what we found, show you the footage, and discuss your repair options. You’re never pressured into immediate work or expensive solutions.
Minor problems like root intrusion or small clogs can often be addressed the same day. Major issues like pipe collapse or extensive damage require more planning, and we’ll help you understand the scope and timeline involved.
Having video documentation helps you get accurate quotes from other contractors if you want second opinions. You’ll know exactly what needs repair and can make informed decisions about timing and approach.
Yes, we regularly perform camera inspections for property buyers and real estate transactions in Montauk. This service helps identify hidden problems before you complete your purchase.
The inspection provides documentation you can use in negotiations or to plan future maintenance. Discovering a failing cesspool system after closing can cost thousands in unexpected repairs.
