You’re dealing with slow drains, backups, or that smell in your yard. The problem is buried somewhere under your property, and you need answers fast.
Our camera inspection takes the guesswork out of sewer problems. Within minutes, you’ll see exactly what’s blocking your lines, where it’s located, and how serious the damage really is. No more hoping the plumber finds the right spot on the first try.
Instead of watching someone dig random holes in your yard, you get a clear view of tree roots, cracks, or blockages before any shovels hit the ground. That means targeted repairs, lower costs, and your landscaping stays intact.
We’ve been serving North Lindenhurst families since 1998. We understand Suffolk County’s unique challenges – from older clay pipes to shifting coastal soil that affects underground systems.
As a family-owned business, we know North Lindenhurst properties inside and out. We’ve seen how the area’s mature trees send roots toward sewer lines, and we understand the local soil conditions that can cause pipes to shift or settle over time.
We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we believe in taking care of the community that’s supported us for over two decades.
The process starts with locating the best access point to your sewer line – usually through a cleanout or existing opening. No digging required at this stage.
A waterproof, high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable gets fed into your pipes. As it travels through your system, you watch live footage on a monitor, seeing every inch of your sewer line from the inside. The camera can navigate turns and bends, reaching areas that would be impossible to access any other way.
Radio transmitters on the camera record the exact depth and location of any problems from ground level. If there’s a blockage at 40 feet down your main line, you’ll know exactly where it is. We can even take snapshots of problem areas for your records or insurance purposes.

Your camera inspection includes a complete visual examination of your sewer lines from your house to the street connection. You’ll receive real-time footage showing the interior condition of your pipes, plus digital documentation of any issues found.
In North Lindenhurst, this service is especially valuable for homes built in the 1950s and 60s when many of the area’s houses were constructed. Older pipe materials and decades of root growth create specific challenges that camera inspection can identify before they become expensive emergencies.
The inspection also works for real estate transactions. Suffolk County often requires sewer line documentation for property sales, and banks sometimes request video confirmation of system condition. Having this inspection done proactively gives you negotiating power and peace of mind whether you’re buying or selling.
Camera inspection costs vary based on the length and complexity of your sewer system, but it’s typically a fraction of what you’d spend on emergency repairs or unnecessary excavation. Many companies offer the inspection free when combined with cleaning services.
The real value comes from what you avoid spending. Finding a problem early through camera inspection can turn a potential $15,000 emergency into a $2,500 planned repair. You’re also avoiding the costs of restoring landscaping, driveways, or sidewalks that would be damaged by exploratory digging.
For North Lindenhurst homeowners, this inspection often pays for itself by preventing one major backup or by providing documentation that saves thousands during a real estate transaction.
Get a camera inspection when you notice recurring drain problems, slow drainage throughout your house, or sewage odors in your yard. These are early warning signs that something’s wrong in your main sewer line.
You should also consider an inspection before buying a home in North Lindenhurst. Many properties in the area have mature trees whose roots naturally grow toward sewer lines seeking water and nutrients. An inspection reveals whether roots have already invaded your system or if the previous owner dealt with sewer problems.
If your home is over 20 years old, periodic camera inspections help catch problems before they become emergencies. This is especially important in Suffolk County where soil conditions and weather can cause pipes to shift or develop cracks over time.
Camera inspections reveal blockages from grease, debris, or foreign objects that shouldn’t be in your sewer system. They also show structural problems like cracked pipes, collapsed sections, or joints that have separated due to ground movement.
Tree root intrusion is common in North Lindenhurst due to the area’s mature landscaping. Roots can completely fill a pipe or create partial blockages that worsen over time. The camera shows exactly where roots have entered and how extensive the invasion has become.
You’ll also see pipe corrosion, especially in older cast iron or clay systems common in Suffolk County homes. The inspection can identify sections that need replacement before they fail completely, helping you plan repairs during good weather rather than dealing with an emergency during a winter storm.
Most residential camera inspections in North Lindenhurst take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of your sewer line and accessibility of your system. Simple, straight runs go faster than systems with multiple bends or long distances to the street connection.
We need time to properly navigate the camera through your entire system, document any problems found, and explain what you’re seeing on the monitor. If significant issues are discovered, additional time may be needed to thoroughly examine problem areas and determine the best repair approach.
This time investment saves you much more time later. Instead of multiple service calls to diagnose a problem, you get complete information in one visit. You can make informed decisions about repairs rather than guessing what might work.
Camera inspections are completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or property. The waterproof camera is designed specifically for sewer systems and is much smaller than the pipe diameter, so there’s no risk of getting stuck or causing blockages.
The flexible cable easily navigates bends and turns in your sewer system without putting pressure on pipe walls or joints. Modern camera equipment is built to handle the conditions inside sewer lines, including water, debris, and tight spaces.
Your landscaping, driveway, and sidewalks remain untouched during the inspection process. This is the major advantage over traditional methods that required digging to locate problems. You get complete information about your sewer system without any disruption to your property’s appearance or value.
Yes, camera inspections are valuable for both buyers and sellers in Suffolk County real estate transactions. Many lenders and banks now require video documentation of sewer system condition, especially for older homes or properties with known drainage issues.
For buyers, an inspection before closing reveals potential problems that weren’t obvious during the standard home inspection. Sewer issues can be expensive surprises, and knowing about them upfront gives you negotiating power or helps you budget for future repairs.
Sellers benefit by having documentation showing their sewer system is in good condition. This can speed up transactions and provide confidence to potential buyers. If problems are found, addressing them before listing can prevent deals from falling through due to inspection concerns.
