Our team knows Suffolk County’s unique challenges, from aging pipe systems to the recent cesspool regulations requiring upgrades. We’ve helped hundreds of local families navigate these changes with clear communication and fair pricing.
When you call AAA Dependable, you’re working with neighbors who understand New Suffolk properties and care about getting things right the first time.
First, we locate the best access point—usually through a cleanout or drain opening. Our technician explains what we’re doing and sets up the professional-grade camera equipment. The waterproof camera, about the size of a smartphone, attaches to a flexible cable that can navigate through your entire pipe system.
As the camera travels through your lines, you watch everything happen on our monitor. We point out any issues we spot and explain what you’re seeing. The camera’s bright LED lights illuminate even the darkest pipes, and we record everything for your records.
The whole process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your system’s layout. When we’re done, you get a detailed report with video footage, still images of problem areas, and exact measurements showing where issues are located. No guesswork, no assumptions—just clear documentation of your pipe conditions.

Your camera inspection includes high-definition video of your entire pipe system, detailed still images of any problem areas, and precise location measurements. We provide written reports you can use for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or future repair planning.
In New Suffolk, many properties have older pipe systems that benefit from regular inspection. With Suffolk County’s new regulations requiring cesspool upgrades, having current documentation of your system’s condition is more important than ever. Our inspections help you understand what needs attention now versus what can wait.
We also coordinate with local contractors if repairs are needed, and our documentation helps ensure you get accurate estimates. Many of our customers use our inspection reports when dealing with insurance companies or during property sales where lenders require pipe documentation.
Most camera inspections in New Suffolk range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. This small investment can save you thousands compared to emergency repairs that often start around $3,000.
The exact cost depends on factors like how long your pipe runs are, whether we need to access through multiple entry points, and if any preliminary cleaning is needed before the camera can travel through. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no surprise charges added later.
Our cameras identify cracks, blockages, root intrusion, pipe offsets, corrosion, and structural damage. We can see grease buildup, debris accumulation, and joint separations that might not cause problems yet but could lead to issues down the road.
The high-definition camera shows us pipe conditions in detail, including the exact size and location of any problems. We can measure how far into your system issues are located, which helps with repair planning and cost estimates. Many customers are surprised to learn about minor issues that are easy to fix now but could become expensive emergencies if left alone.
Many lenders and banks now require video camera inspections for properties with septic systems, especially in Suffolk County where older cesspools are common. Even when not required, it’s smart protection for both buyers and sellers.
For buyers, an inspection reveals exactly what you’re getting and can be used in purchase negotiations if problems are found. For sellers, having recent inspection documentation shows transparency and can speed up transactions. The cost of an inspection is minimal compared to discovering major pipe problems after closing, when repair costs become your responsibility.
Most residential camera inspections take 1-3 hours, depending on your property’s pipe layout and accessibility. Simple systems with easy cleanout access move faster, while complex layouts or buried access points take more time.
We don’t rush the process because thoroughness matters. You’ll watch the entire inspection happen, and we take time to explain what you’re seeing and answer your questions. After the camera work is complete, we review the footage with you and prepare your documentation, which usually adds another 30 minutes to the appointment.
Professional camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or septic system. The camera is smaller than most blockages that already travel through your pipes, and the flexible cable is designed to navigate bends and joints safely.
Our experienced technicians know how to maneuver the equipment without forcing it through tight spots or damaged areas. The waterproof camera and cable are built specifically for pipe environments and won’t introduce chemicals or materials that could harm your system. This is much safer than traditional methods that might require removing toilets or digging to access pipes.
When we find issues, we document everything with video and still images, then explain your options clearly. Minor problems like small blockages might be fixable during the same visit, while larger issues require separate repair appointments.
You get detailed documentation showing exactly where problems are located and what type of repairs are needed. This helps you get accurate estimates from contractors and avoid unnecessary work. We can coordinate with trusted local repair specialists if needed, and our inspection report ensures everyone understands exactly what needs to be done. There’s never pressure to make immediate decisions—you have all the information you need to plan repairs on your timeline.
