You’re tired of guessing what’s wrong with your drains. Slow water, strange smells, or gurgling sounds tell you something’s happening underground, but you need to see the actual problem.
Our high-definition camera inspection shows you exactly what’s blocking, cracking, or damaging your pipes in real-time. No more wondering if tree roots have invaded your sewer line or if that pipe belly is getting worse.
When you can see the problem clearly, you make better decisions about repairs. You avoid unnecessary digging, prevent small issues from becoming major headaches, and get targeted solutions that actually work.
We’ve been solving drainage problems for North Bay Shore families for over 25 years. We understand how Long Island’s sandy soil affects your pipes and why those beautiful oak trees in your yard might be causing sewer line issues.
As a family-owned company, we know what it’s like to worry about unexpected home repairs. That’s why we show you exactly what we find and explain your options clearly, without the sales pitch.
Our Suffolk County license, full insurance, and hundreds of five-star reviews from your neighbors prove we do what we say we’ll do. No surprises, no runaround.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer or drain line. Our waterproof camera travels through your entire system on a flexible cable, sending live video back to our monitor.
You watch with us as we inspect every inch of your pipes. We point out any problems, explain what you’re seeing, and record footage for your records.
The camera shows us exact locations and depths of any issues, so if repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging up your landscaping.

In North Bay Shore, we commonly find tree root intrusion from the area’s mature landscaping and pipe bellies caused by shifting sandy soil. Our inspection catches these issues early, before they cause backups or require emergency repairs.
The inspection typically costs $200-400, compared to $3,000-10,000+ for emergency sewer repairs. Most homeowners find this small investment saves them thousands and gives them peace of mind about their property’s condition.
Most residential camera inspections in North Bay Shore cost between $200-400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. This might seem like an expense, but compare it to emergency sewer repairs that start around $3,000 and quickly reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Many customers tell us the inspection paid for itself by catching problems early, when they were still affordable to fix.
The investment makes sense when you consider that most North Bay Shore homes need this service every 3-5 years for maintenance, or every 2 years if you have large trees near your sewer line.
Our cameras reveal the most common issues affecting North Bay Shore properties: tree root intrusion, pipe bellies from shifting sandy soil, grease buildup, and cracks or breaks in aging pipes. We also spot foreign objects, improper connections, and infiltration problems.
In this area, we frequently find roots from oak and maple trees that have squeezed through small cracks and grown until they completely block your line. The sandy soil common to Long Island also causes pipes to sag over time, creating low spots where waste gets trapped.
The camera shows us exactly where these problems are located and how serious they’ve become, so we can recommend the most effective and affordable solution for your specific situation.
Absolutely. Buying a house in North Bay Shore without sewer camera inspection is like buying a car without checking the engine. Most standard home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because inspectors can’t see underground pipes.
We’ve seen too many customers who discovered major sewer problems within a few years of buying their home. Sewer line replacement costs $8,000-25,000, so you need to know what you’re getting into before closing.
Our inspection report can be used as a bargaining chip if problems are found, potentially saving you thousands on the purchase price or ensuring the seller handles repairs before you take ownership.
Most North Bay Shore homes benefit from camera inspection every 3-5 years as part of routine maintenance. If you have large trees near your sewer line, we recommend every 2 years because root growth happens faster than you might expect.
You should also schedule inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring backups, sewage odors, or gurgling sounds when water drains. These symptoms often indicate problems that camera inspection can pinpoint before they become emergencies.
Property owners planning renovations, additions, or landscaping projects should also get inspection first to avoid accidentally damaging existing pipes or to determine if your current system can handle additional load.
Yes, that’s exactly why smart homeowners schedule regular inspections. We catch problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix, rather than waiting until you have sewage backing up into your basement or yard.
For example, we might find tree roots that are just starting to invade your pipe. At this stage, we can clear them with hydro-jetting for a few hundred dollars. Wait until they completely block your line, and you’re looking at emergency service calls, possible excavation, and repair costs in the thousands.
The camera also helps us spot deteriorating pipes before they collapse, cracks before they become major breaks, and blockages before they cause backups that damage your property.
We explain exactly what we found, show you the video footage, and discuss your repair options clearly. You’ll never feel pressured to make immediate decisions or agree to work you don’t understand.
For serious issues like collapsed pipes or extensive root damage, we provide detailed estimates for different repair approaches, from spot repairs to full line replacement. We also explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make the best decision for your budget and situation.
Many problems that look serious actually have affordable solutions when caught early. Our goal is to give you accurate information so you can plan appropriately, whether that means scheduling repairs next month or budgeting for a larger project next year.
