You don’t have to guess what’s causing your drain problems anymore. Our camera inspection shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes in real time.
When we’re done, you’ll know if that slow drain is just a simple clog or something more serious like root intrusion or a cracked pipe. You’ll see the problem with your own eyes on our monitor, and we’ll explain what it means for your home.
No more wondering if you need expensive repairs or if your system will fail next month. You get clear answers that help you make smart decisions about your property.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families since 1998 with straight answers and dependable work. We’re not the guys who show up and immediately tell you everything needs to be replaced.
Our family-owned company built its reputation on transparency and genuine expertise. We show you what we find, explain what it means, and give you realistic options—not scare tactics.
When Northville homeowners need to know what’s really going on with their pipes, they call us because we’ve earned their trust through decades of honest service and reliable results.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line—usually through a cleanout or, if necessary, by temporarily removing a toilet. Then we insert our high-definition waterproof camera on a flexible cable into your pipes.
As the camera travels through your system, you watch live footage on our monitor. We point out anything unusual—blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or pipe damage—and explain what you’re seeing in plain English.
The whole process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your pipe length. You get immediate answers, and we provide a clear assessment of your system’s condition so you know exactly where you stand.

Our camera inspection identifies the exact location and nature of problems in pipes ranging from 2 to 36 inches in diameter. We can spot tree root intrusion, grease buildup, pipe cracks, joint separations, and complete blockages.
In Northville’s rural setting, tree roots are a common culprit, especially in older properties with mature landscaping. Our inspection pinpoints exactly where roots have entered your system and how extensive the damage is.
We also check for issues specific to aging infrastructure—like deteriorating cast iron pipes or settling that’s caused pipe misalignment. You’ll know if your system needs immediate attention or if you can plan repairs for the future.
Camera inspection costs typically range from $250 to $500 for most Northville properties, depending on accessibility and system complexity. Properties with easy cleanout access cost less than homes where we need to remove a toilet or create an alternative entry point.
The investment pays for itself by preventing expensive emergency repairs. Finding a small problem now costs much less than dealing with a complete system failure or sewage backup later.
We provide upfront pricing before we start, so you know exactly what you’re paying with no surprise charges.
Our high-definition cameras provide crystal-clear footage of your pipe’s interior condition. We can identify tree root intrusion, grease and debris buildup, cracks, joint separations, pipe corrosion, and complete blockages.
The camera also reveals the overall condition of your pipes—whether they’re holding up well or showing signs of age and wear. You’ll see exactly where problems are located and how severe they are.
We can even spot potential issues before they cause problems, like small cracks that could worsen over time or areas where roots are just beginning to enter your system.
Most residential camera inspections take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your pipe length and system complexity. Shorter runs of 10-15 feet might only take 15 minutes, while longer or more complex systems require more time.
The process is straightforward—we locate an access point, insert the camera, and methodically inspect your entire system while you watch on our monitor. We take our time to ensure we don’t miss anything important.
If we discover problems that need immediate attention, we’ll discuss your options right there on the spot, so you can make informed decisions about next steps.
Absolutely. Standard home inspectors don’t check underground pipes, so a sewer camera inspection is essential for any property purchase. You could be inheriting expensive sewer problems that aren’t visible from the surface.
This is especially important in Northville’s rural areas where properties often have older septic systems or cesspools. What looks like a perfect house could have thousands of dollars in hidden sewer line damage.
The inspection cost is minimal compared to discovering major pipe problems after you’ve already bought the property. It’s one of the smartest investments you can make during the home buying process.
Yes, our camera equipment can often locate valuable items that have been accidentally dropped down drains or toilets. We’ve successfully recovered jewelry, keys, and other important items for homeowners.
The camera shows us exactly where the item is located in your pipe system, so we can determine the best way to retrieve it without causing damage to your plumbing. This targeted approach is much more effective than blind fishing attempts.
Recovery isn’t always possible depending on how far the item traveled and your system’s configuration, but the camera inspection gives us the best chance of finding and retrieving your lost valuables.
For preventive maintenance, we recommend camera inspections every 3-5 years for most residential properties. Older homes or properties with large trees nearby may benefit from more frequent inspections to catch root intrusion early.
If you’re experiencing recurring drain problems, slow drainage, or unusual odors, don’t wait for a scheduled inspection. These symptoms often indicate developing issues that a camera inspection can quickly identify.
Regular inspections help you stay ahead of problems and plan for maintenance during convenient times rather than dealing with emergency situations when systems fail unexpectedly.
