Hear From Our Clients
You’re dealing with slow drains, sewage odors, or backup issues. The last thing you need is someone taking a shot in the dark at your problem.
Our camera inspection eliminates the guesswork completely. You see the exact issue on our monitor in real time—whether it’s tree roots, a collapsed pipe, or a stubborn blockage. No more digging up your entire yard hoping to find the problem.
When you know exactly what’s wrong and where it’s located, repairs become targeted and cost-effective. You pay to fix the actual issue, not to search for it.
We’ve been serving Patchogue and Suffolk County since 1998. We’re the family-owned team that tells you what you actually need, not what makes us the most money.
Long Island’s unique soil conditions and aging cesspool systems create specific challenges. Many of Patchogue’s cesspools were built before 1970 and are reaching the end of their structural life. We understand these local conditions because we’ve been working with them for decades.
Our approach is simple: show you the problem, explain your options, and let you decide. No pressure, no overselling—just honest service from people who live and work in your community.
We start by accessing your sewer line through an existing cleanout or drain. Our high-resolution camera travels through your pipes on a flexible cable, transmitting live video to our monitor.
You watch alongside us as we inspect every inch of your system. The camera shows us cracks, blockages, root intrusion, pipe bellying, or structural damage with pinpoint accuracy. We measure the exact distance to any problems we find.
Once the inspection is complete, we explain what we discovered and discuss your repair options. If you need documentation for insurance or real estate purposes, we provide a detailed report with video footage. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on your system size.

Our camera inspection covers your entire sewer line from your home to the street connection. We inspect pipes ranging from 2 to 10 inches in diameter, which covers virtually all residential systems in Patchogue.
Suffolk County’s environmental regulations are getting stricter every year. New York state now fines homeowners $250 to $2,000 for missed inspections or failed reports. Our documentation helps you stay compliant with these requirements.
Long Island’s sandy soil and high water table make early problem detection critical. What starts as a small leak can quickly contaminate surrounding areas and cause expensive property damage. Our inspection catches these issues before they become environmental hazards or structural failures.
Camera inspection costs typically range from $200-400 for residential properties in Patchogue, depending on your system size and accessibility. This investment often saves thousands compared to exploratory digging.
Many homeowners discover that what they thought was a major repair is actually a simple fix. Others learn they need targeted repairs in specific locations rather than wholesale system replacement. Either way, you’re making informed decisions based on facts, not guesswork.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees—just honest pricing for professional service.
Our cameras identify virtually every type of sewer line problem: tree root intrusion, pipe cracks, collapsed sections, grease buildup, foreign object blockages, and pipe bellying. We also spot joint separations, corrosion damage, and structural weaknesses.
Tree roots are especially common in Patchogue’s mature neighborhoods. Roots seek moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks, then expand to create major blockages. Our camera shows exactly where roots have entered and how extensive the intrusion is.
We also detect problems that aren’t causing symptoms yet. Early detection of small cracks or minor root intrusion lets you address issues before they cause backups or property damage.
Many lenders and buyers now require sewer line inspections, especially for older homes in Suffolk County. Banks want assurance that expensive sewer repairs won’t be needed immediately after closing.
Patchogue has many homes built before modern sewer standards were established. Buyers are increasingly aware that sewer line replacement can cost $15,000-30,000. A camera inspection provides documentation of your system’s condition.
For sellers, having recent inspection documentation can speed up transactions and demonstrate transparency. For buyers, it prevents costly surprises after moving in. Either way, it’s smart protection for everyone involved.
Most Patchogue homeowners benefit from camera inspection every 3-5 years, or whenever they experience recurring drain problems. Homes with mature trees or systems over 20 years old may need more frequent inspection.
Suffolk County’s new regulations require regular maintenance documentation. Having inspection records helps demonstrate compliance and can prevent regulatory fines. It also helps you budget for future repairs rather than facing emergency situations.
If you’re experiencing slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors, don’t wait. These symptoms often indicate problems that worsen quickly in Long Island’s soil conditions.
Camera inspection is completely non-invasive. We access your system through existing cleanouts or drains—no digging required. The camera is smaller than the pipes it travels through and won’t cause any damage.
This is the major advantage over traditional inspection methods. In the past, finding sewer problems meant excavating large sections of pipe, destroying landscaping and driveways. Camera technology eliminated this property damage while providing more accurate results.
The only equipment that enters your property is our truck and inspection monitor. Your yard, driveway, and landscaping remain completely undisturbed throughout the entire process.
When we discover issues, we explain exactly what we found and discuss your repair options. Some problems like minor blockages can be addressed immediately with hydro jetting. Others may require targeted excavation or pipe replacement.
We provide detailed documentation including video footage and location measurements. This information helps you get accurate repair estimates from contractors and ensures work is performed in the right locations.
You’re never pressured to make immediate decisions. We believe in giving you complete information so you can choose the best solution for your situation and budget. Our job is to show you what’s happening—your job is to decide how to address it.
