Your sewer lines are buried underground where problems hide until they become expensive emergencies. Camera inspection changes that completely.
You get real-time video of exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. See tree roots, blockages, cracks, or damage before they flood your basement or cost you thousands in emergency repairs.
No more digging up your yard hoping to find the problem. No more paying for repairs you don’t actually need. Just clear answers about what’s wrong, where it’s located, and what it’ll take to fix it.
AAA Dependable Cesspool has been serving Suffolk County families since 1998. We understand the unique challenges Sagaponack properties face—from aggressive root growth near coastal areas to older clay pipes that shift with our sandy soil.
This isn’t some fly-by-night operation. We’re your neighbors, supporting local veteran organizations like Paws of War and offering discounts to military families, first responders, and seniors.
When you need straight answers about your sewer system, you want someone who’s been solving these exact problems in this exact area for over two decades.
First, we locate your main sewer cleanout or access point. If your older Sagaponack home doesn’t have one, we can access the line through other entry points without damaging your property.
Next, we feed a high-resolution waterproof camera through your entire sewer system. The camera has bright LED lights and records everything as it travels through your pipes, measuring distances and identifying exact locations of any issues.
You watch everything happen on our monitor in real-time. We explain what you’re seeing and point out any problems. You’re not left wondering—you see exactly what we see, when we see it.

Complete video documentation of your entire sewer system from your house to the street connection. You receive recorded footage for your records, plus detailed explanations of any issues found.
For Sagaponack real estate transactions, we provide the documentation lenders and banks require. Many Suffolk County properties need sewer certification for closing, and camera inspection is often part of that process.
We can also locate lost items, assess pipe condition before renovations, and provide the evidence you need for insurance claims or property negotiations. The inspection covers pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter, reaching every part of your system that matters.
Most residential camera inspections in Sagaponack range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. Compare that to emergency sewer repairs that start around $3,000 and quickly reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
Camera inspection pays for itself by catching problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix. It’s like getting a $300 test that can save you thousands in unnecessary repairs or emergency work.
For real estate transactions, the cost is minimal compared to buying a property with hidden sewer problems that could cost $8,000 to $25,000 to replace.
Absolutely. Most home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because standard inspectors can’t see underground pipes. You’re buying blind when it comes to one of the most expensive systems in the house.
Sagaponack properties often have older sewer systems that can hide serious problems. Tree roots are aggressive in our coastal environment, and older clay or cast iron pipes are particularly vulnerable to damage and blockages.
Camera inspection fills that gap and protects you from expensive surprises after closing. Many buyers use the results to negotiate repair costs or walk away from properties with serious sewer issues.
Tree root intrusion is extremely common in Suffolk County, especially during late summer when roots aggressively seek water sources. The camera shows exactly where roots have penetrated your pipes and how extensive the damage is.
You’ll also see pipe deterioration, cracks, blockages from grease or debris buildup, and structural damage from soil shifting. Older properties often have bellies or low spots where waste collects and creates ongoing problems.
The camera identifies the exact location and severity of each issue, so you know what needs immediate attention versus what you can plan for later. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging.
Smart property owners schedule camera inspection every 3-5 years for most homes, or every 2 years if you have large trees near your sewer line. Sagaponack’s coastal environment and mature landscaping make regular monitoring especially important.
If you’re experiencing slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors, don’t wait for your regular schedule. These are warning signs that something’s developing underground, and early detection prevents emergency situations.
For older homes with original clay or cast iron pipes, more frequent inspection helps you stay ahead of deterioration that’s inevitable but manageable when caught early.
No. The camera system is completely non-invasive and designed specifically for pipe inspection. The waterproof camera head is small and flexible, traveling through your pipes without causing any damage or disruption.
This is much safer than traditional methods that required digging up your yard or using invasive techniques to locate problems. The camera simply travels through your existing pipes using water flow, taking video as it goes.
The process is so gentle that it can be used on older, more fragile pipe materials without risk. You get all the information you need without any impact on your sewer system.
You get clear documentation of exactly what’s wrong, where it’s located, and what your options are for fixing it. The video footage shows you the problem firsthand, so you understand what you’re dealing with.
We can handle repairs, replacements, or maintenance based on what the inspection reveals. We don’t oversell—if something can wait, we’ll tell you. If it needs immediate attention, we explain why.
Having the exact location and nature of problems means repairs can be targeted and cost-effective. Instead of digging up your entire yard hoping to find the issue, work can be focused on the specific problem areas the camera identified.
