We’ve been helping North Great River homeowners understand their cesspool and sewer systems since 1998. As a family-owned business, we know the unique challenges Long Island properties face with aging cesspool infrastructure and sandy soil conditions.
With over 325 five-star reviews and Suffolk County licensing, we’ve built our reputation on honest assessments and transparent service. We understand that North Great River residents need reliable solutions, not oversold services or surprise charges.
Our team knows the local soil conditions, common pipe materials used in older North Great River homes, and the environmental factors that affect cesspool performance in this area.
Our camera inspection process starts with locating the best access point to your sewer line—usually through a cleanout or access port. We insert a waterproof, high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable into your pipes.
As the camera moves through your system, you watch live footage on a monitor. Our technician explains what you’re seeing and points out any issues like blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or pipe deterioration. The camera can navigate bends and reach deep into your system to provide a complete view.
The inspection pinpoints exact locations of problems, measuring depth and distance from access points. This precision means if repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work—no guessing, no unnecessary digging. You receive a detailed report and often a DVD copy of the inspection for your records.

Our camera inspection service includes a thorough examination of your entire accessible sewer line, from your home’s connection point to the street or cesspool. The high-definition camera captures clear images of pipe condition, joint integrity, and any obstructions or damage.
In North Great River, where many homes have older cesspool systems, camera inspections are particularly valuable for detecting common issues like root intrusion from mature trees, pipe settling in sandy soil, and deterioration of concrete or clay pipes. Our inspection can identify problems specific to Long Island’s environment, including saltwater intrusion effects on pipes near the water.
Our service provides documentation that’s useful for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or planning future maintenance. For North Great River homeowners dealing with the area’s unique soil conditions and aging infrastructure, this visual evidence helps make informed decisions about system maintenance and upgrades.
Camera inspection costs in North Great River typically range from $150 to $300, depending on the length of pipe being inspected and accessibility. This upfront investment can save you thousands by identifying problems early before they become major repairs.
The cost is minimal compared to emergency repairs, which can run $3,000 to $7,000 for sewage backup cleanup alone. Many homeowners find that knowing the exact condition of their pipes gives them peace of mind and helps them budget for any needed maintenance.
We provide honest, upfront pricing with no surprise charges. We’ll explain exactly what the inspection includes and what you’ll receive, including a detailed report of findings.
You should consider a camera inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, or frequent backups. For North Great River homes built before 1970, regular inspections every 3-5 years can catch problems before they become emergencies.
If you’re buying or selling a home, a camera inspection provides valuable information about the sewer system’s condition. Many North Great River properties have mature trees whose roots can infiltrate pipes over time, making inspections especially important for older homes with large landscaping.
Even if you’re not experiencing problems, a baseline inspection helps you understand your system’s condition and plan for future maintenance. It’s much better to address issues during regular maintenance than during a sewage backup emergency.
Camera inspections can identify blockages from grease buildup, tree roots, or foreign objects, as well as structural issues like cracked pipes, joint separation, or pipe collapse. The camera also reveals pipe material condition, showing corrosion, scaling, or deterioration that could lead to future problems.
In North Great River’s sandy soil, pipes can shift or settle over time, creating low spots where waste accumulates. Our camera inspection shows these problem areas and helps determine if pipe realignment is needed. Root intrusion from mature trees is another common issue the camera easily identifies.
The inspection also detects less obvious problems like partial blockages that cause slow drainage, minor cracks that could worsen, or pipe misalignment that affects flow. Early detection of these issues helps you address them before they cause backups or require emergency repairs.
A typical camera inspection takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the length of pipe being inspected and the complexity of your system. We need time to set up equipment, navigate the camera through your pipes, and explain what’s being found.
The process is non-invasive and doesn’t require any preparation on your part. You can watch the inspection in real-time and ask questions as we examine your pipes. If problems are found, we’ll take extra time to document the exact location and severity.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report explaining the findings and any recommendations. We’ll also provide guidance on maintenance or repairs if needed, helping you understand your options and priorities.
Camera inspections are completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or property. The camera is designed specifically for pipe inspection, with a waterproof housing and flexible cable that navigates bends without causing harm to pipe interiors.
Unlike traditional diagnostic methods that required digging or removing fixtures, camera inspection only needs access through existing cleanouts or access points. There’s no excavation, no disruption to landscaping, and no damage to walls or floors.
The camera system is designed to work safely in pipes of various sizes and materials. Our technicians are trained to operate the equipment properly, ensuring your pipes remain undamaged while providing the detailed inspection you need to understand your system’s condition.
Yes, camera inspections can examine the pipes leading to your cesspool and identify problems like blockages, root intrusion, or pipe damage that affects system performance. While the camera typically doesn’t enter the cesspool itself, it can inspect the inlet and outlet pipes that are crucial to proper system function.
For North Great River homeowners with cesspool systems, camera inspection is particularly valuable for detecting root intrusion from mature trees, pipe settling in sandy soil, or deterioration of older pipe materials. These issues can cause backups or system failures if not addressed.
Our inspection helps distinguish between problems in the distribution pipes versus issues within the cesspool itself. This information is crucial for determining the right repair approach and avoiding unnecessary work on parts of the system that are functioning properly.
