No more guessing games or unnecessary digging. Our camera inspection shows you the exact condition of your sewer lines, drain pipes, and cesspool system in real-time. You’ll see blocked pipes, root intrusion, cracks, and buildup before they turn into flooding, backups, or thousands in emergency repairs.
Most Old Field homeowners are shocked when they finally see what’s happening inside their pipes. Tree roots that have been growing for years. Pipes that are partially collapsed but still functioning. Buildup that’s one heavy rain away from causing a complete backup.
When you know what you’re dealing with, you can make smart decisions about repairs, maintenance, and timing. Instead of reactive emergency calls, you get planned solutions that work with your schedule and budget.
We’ve been serving Old Field families since 1998. We understand how Suffolk County’s unique soil conditions affect your septic systems and cesspools better than out-of-town companies who treat every job the same.
Most of Old Field relies on individual septic systems since there’s no municipal sewer connection. That means your cesspool or septic tank handles everything, and when problems develop underground, you need someone who knows exactly what to look for.
Our family-owned business has built its reputation on honest assessments and transparent pricing. We’re not here to oversell you services you don’t need. We’re here to give you the facts so you can make informed decisions about your property.
We start by locating your main sewer line access point and setting up our professional-grade camera equipment. Our waterproof camera travels through your entire pipe system, sending high-definition video to our monitor in real-time.
As the camera moves through your pipes, we’re looking for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe damage, and buildup. The camera can navigate turns, travel through pipes as small as 2 inches, and inspect lines up to 300 feet long. We record everything and mark GPS coordinates of any problems we find.
You’ll receive a detailed report with video footage, still images of problem areas, and exact locations of any issues. If repairs are needed, you’ll know precisely where to dig without damaging landscaping, sprinkler systems, or other utilities. No surprises, no guesswork, just facts.

Every camera inspection includes a thorough evaluation of your main sewer line from your home to the street connection or cesspool. We inspect distribution lines, check for proper flow, and document any areas of concern with high-definition video and photos.
Old Field properties often have unique challenges. Many homes were built before 1973 when cesspools were standard, and the sandy Long Island soil can shift over time. Tree roots from mature landscaping commonly infiltrate older clay pipes. Our inspection identifies these specific local issues.
You’ll get a written report with GPS coordinates showing exactly where problems are located. If you need future repairs, we know precisely where to work without unnecessary excavation. For real estate transactions, we provide the documentation lenders and banks require for closing.
Most residential camera inspections in Old Field range from $200 to $400, depending on the length and complexity of your pipe system. This small investment can prevent emergency repairs that typically start around $3,000 and often reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
Many companies offer free camera inspections when you hire them for drain cleaning, but these are often basic assessments designed to sell you additional services. Our comprehensive inspections use professional-grade equipment that provides crystal-clear footage and precise measurements, giving you the detailed information you need to make informed decisions about your property.
Camera inspections reveal root intrusion, pipe damage, blockages, structural cracks, and excessive waste accumulation that affect system performance. In Old Field, we commonly find tree roots from mature landscaping that have infiltrated clay pipes over time, especially in homes built before the 1970s.
The inspection also identifies distribution line problems, collapsed pipe sections, and areas where the sandy Long Island soil has shifted and damaged connections. We can see buildup from years of use, partial blockages that restrict flow, and pipe joints that have separated. Early detection of these issues prevents sudden system failures that require emergency pumping and expensive excavation.
Suffolk County requires cesspool and septic inspections during property transfers to verify system compliance with current environmental standards. Many lenders and banks specifically require video camera inspection as part of the closing process, especially for properties with older systems.
A pre-purchase camera inspection protects you from inheriting expensive problems from the previous owner. You’ll know the exact condition of the sewer system before you buy, allowing you to negotiate repairs or factor replacement costs into your purchase decision. This documentation also satisfies insurance requirements and provides baseline information for future maintenance.
Properties with systems over 15 years old benefit from camera inspection every 3-5 years to identify developing problems before they cause expensive failures. If you’re experiencing slow drains, gurgling sounds, or occasional backups, immediate inspection can prevent emergency situations.
Old Field’s sandy soil and mature tree coverage create unique conditions that can affect underground pipes. Regular inspection lets you track changes over time and plan maintenance during convenient times rather than dealing with emergency repairs. Many homeowners schedule inspection when they notice changes in drainage performance or as part of routine property maintenance.
Professional camera inspection uses high-definition equipment that provides crystal-clear footage and precise measurements, while basic cameras often give grainy pictures and rough estimates. Our professional-grade cameras can navigate 90-degree turns, travel through small diameter pipes, and record in tight spaces where cheaper equipment fails.
We provide detailed written reports with GPS coordinates showing exactly where problems are located, plus video footage and still images you can review. Basic inspections might show you there’s “something wrong” but leave you guessing about severity and exact locations. Professional inspection gives you the specific information needed to make informed decisions about repairs, timing, and costs.
Absolutely. Camera inspection identifies problems during early stages when repairs cost hundreds instead of thousands required for complete system replacement. We’ve seen situations where a $300 inspection revealed issues that would have become $15,000 emergencies within weeks.
Most Long Island cesspools show signs of deterioration after 15-20 years of service, but problems develop gradually underground where you can’t see them. By the time you notice slow drainage, odors, or backups, damage is often extensive. Regular camera inspection catches these issues early, extends system life, and prevents the health hazards and property damage that come with system failures.
