Hear From Our Clients
You get a real-time view inside your sewer lines with our advanced camera inspection technology. No more wondering if that contractor is telling you the truth about needing expensive pipe replacement.
Our high-definition cameras travel through pipes from 2 to 36 inches in diameter, showing you exactly where blockages, root intrusion, or pipe damage exists. You see what we see on the monitor, and we provide you with a USB copy of the entire inspection for your records.
This means you make informed decisions about repairs based on visual evidence, not guesswork. You avoid unnecessary excavation, protect your property, and often discover that problems can be solved with targeted cleaning rather than full pipe replacement.
We’ve been serving Oakdale families for over 25 years, understanding exactly how Long Island’s soil conditions and aging infrastructure affect your sewer systems. Most homes here were built with clay pipes that are now approaching their 50-60 year lifespan.
Our family-owned team knows the difference between a quick fix and a lasting solution. We’re the company that shows up with cameras first, shovels second—because digging up your yard should be the last resort, not the first option.
You’ll work with the same local technicians who live in this community and have built our reputation on honest service. We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because this is our neighborhood too.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line, usually through a cleanout or floor drain. Our waterproof camera, equipped with bright LED lights, travels through your entire system on a flexible cable that can navigate turns and bends.
You watch the live video feed on our monitor as we identify any blockages, root intrusion, pipe damage, or structural issues. We measure distances with foot counters, so you know exactly where problems are located on your property.
After the inspection, we explain what we found in plain English and provide you with a USB copy of the video. If repairs are needed, you’ll see exactly why and can make decisions based on visual evidence rather than taking someone’s word for it.

Your camera inspection covers your entire sewer line from house to street connection or septic system. We document pipe condition, locate blockages, identify root intrusion points, and assess structural integrity.
In Oakdale, we’re particularly focused on the common issues affecting homes built before 1980—clay pipe deterioration, root infiltration from mature trees, and the effects of soil shifting near our coastal environment. These factors create unique challenges that require local expertise to properly diagnose.
You receive a complete video record on USB, detailed explanation of findings, and honest recommendations for any necessary repairs. We also identify the least invasive methods to address problems, often saving you thousands compared to full excavation approaches.
Camera inspection costs vary based on the length and accessibility of your sewer line, but most residential inspections in Oakdale range from $200-$400. This investment often saves you thousands by identifying the exact problem location and avoiding unnecessary excavation.
Many homeowners discover that what they thought was a major pipe replacement actually requires targeted root removal or pipe cleaning. The inspection pays for itself by preventing overpriced repairs based on guesswork.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and if you decide to have us handle the repairs we identify, we’ll credit part of the inspection cost toward the job.
Sewer cameras reveal the exact condition inside your pipes—something impossible to determine from surface symptoms alone. We can see root masses, pipe cracks, joint separations, grease buildup, and structural collapses with precise location measurements.
In Oakdale’s older homes, this is especially valuable because clay pipes often have multiple issues at different points along the line. Traditional snaking might clear a blockage temporarily, but the camera shows you if there are three more root intrusion points that will cause problems next month.
The camera also distinguishes between problems that need immediate attention and those you can monitor over time. This prevents emergency situations and helps you budget for repairs when it’s convenient rather than during a crisis.
Most residential camera inspections in Oakdale take 30-60 minutes, depending on your sewer line length and the number of issues we need to document. Simple, straight runs take less time than systems with multiple bends or extensive root intrusion.
We don’t rush the process because thoroughness matters more than speed. You’re paying for accurate information that will guide potentially expensive repair decisions, so we take the time to examine every section of pipe.
The inspection includes setup time, the actual camera work, reviewing findings with you, and preparing your USB copy. We schedule adequate time so you never feel rushed through the explanation of what we found.
Schedule a camera inspection when you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, or recurring backups. In Oakdale, we also recommend inspections before buying a home, after major storms, or if you have large trees near your sewer line.
For homes built before 1980 with original clay pipes, annual inspections help catch problems before they become emergencies. Late summer is particularly important here because tree roots reach peak growth during dry spells, aggressively seeking water sources.
Don’t wait until you have a backup in your basement. Early detection through camera inspection typically costs a fraction of emergency repairs and gives you time to plan solutions that work with your schedule and budget.
Professional camera inspection is completely non-invasive and cannot damage properly installed pipes. Our cameras are designed specifically for sewer line inspection, with flexible cables that navigate bends without applying pressure to pipe walls.
The cameras are much smaller than the pipes they’re inspecting—typically less than 2 inches in diameter for residential lines. They simply travel through your system using water flow and gravity, taking video as they go.
However, if your pipes are already severely damaged or collapsed, we’ll identify this during the inspection rather than attempting to force equipment through compromised sections. This protects both your system and our equipment while giving you the information you need.
When we find issues, we explain exactly what we’re seeing on the monitor and discuss your options for addressing each problem. Not every issue requires immediate action—some can be monitored while others need prompt attention.
We provide honest recommendations based on what the camera reveals, not what generates the most revenue for us. Root intrusion might need hydro jetting, while minor joint separation could be monitored for changes over time.
You’ll receive a complete video record and written summary of findings, so you can get second opinions or plan repairs when convenient. We never pressure you into immediate decisions on expensive repairs—the inspection gives you the information to choose wisely.
