Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of companies showing up, digging holes in your yard, and telling you “it’s probably roots” or “the line needs replacement” without actually seeing the problem. That’s expensive guesswork that costs you thousands.
Our camera inspection service puts an end to that nonsense. You get to see the actual condition of your sewer lines on a clear video screen. We measure exactly where any problems are located with foot-counter precision, so if repairs are needed, we know precisely where to work.
No more surprise charges. No more unnecessary digging. Just honest answers about what’s really going on beneath your Shirley property.
We’ve been solving septic problems for Shirley homeowners since 1998. We’re not the guys who show up and start digging random holes hoping to find something.
Our family-owned team uses professional-grade camera equipment that travels through pipes as small as 2 inches and reaches up to 300 feet. We’ve earned over 325 five-star reviews because we tell you exactly what we find – nothing more, nothing less.
When other companies in Suffolk County are still guessing, we’re showing you the problem and explaining exactly how to fix it.
First, we insert our waterproof camera into your sewer line through a cleanout or access point. The flexible cable travels through your entire system while transmitting live, high-definition video to our monitor above ground.
As the camera moves through your pipes, we’re watching for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or any other issues. We record everything and measure the exact location of any problems using our foot-counter system.
When we’re done, you get a USB drive with the complete video inspection and a written report showing GPS coordinates of any issues we found. If repairs are needed, you’ll know exactly where the problem is located and what it’ll cost to fix – no surprises later.

Shirley’s coastal location and Long Island soil conditions create specific challenges for septic systems. Many properties here have older concrete septic tanks that develop cracks over time, and the sandy soil can shift and damage underground pipes.
Our camera inspections regularly find root intrusion from the mature trees common in Shirley neighborhoods. We also see pipe joints that have separated due to ground settling, especially in properties built before 1990.
The good news? Most of these problems cost under $3,000 to fix when caught early through camera inspection. Wait until you have a full backup, and you’re looking at $8,000 to $25,000 for complete line replacement. That’s why smart Shirley homeowners schedule inspections every 3-5 years, or immediately when they notice slow drains or unusual odors.
Most residential camera inspections in Shirley cost between $200 and $400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. That’s a fraction of what you’d pay for emergency repairs if problems go undetected.
We include the inspection free when you need drain cleaning services. And if you decide to hire us for any repairs we find, we’ll discount the inspection cost from your total bill. The inspection pays for itself by preventing one costly emergency repair.
Compare that to the $15,000 we saved one Hampton Bays client who thought they needed a complete sewer replacement, when our camera showed the real problem was a simple blockage that cost $2,500 to clear.
Our high-definition cameras show everything inside your sewer lines with crystal-clear detail. We can spot cracks as small as hairline fractures, root intrusions, pipe separations, blockages, and areas where pipes have collapsed or shifted.
The camera also reveals the overall condition of your pipe walls, joint connections, and any buildup that might cause future problems. We use LED lighting that illuminates even the darkest sections of your sewer system.
You’ll see exactly what we see on our monitor in real-time. No guessing, no assumptions – just clear video evidence of your pipe condition that you can review on the USB drive we provide.
Not usually. Most Shirley properties have accessible cleanouts that let us insert the camera without removing fixtures. We always check for the easiest access point first.
If your home doesn’t have a cleanout or it’s not accessible, we might need to temporarily remove a toilet to access the main sewer line. We handle this carefully and reinstall everything properly when we’re done.
The whole process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your pipe layout. We’ll explain the access method before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
Most Shirley homeowners benefit from camera inspections every 3-5 years for routine monitoring. If you have large trees near your sewer lines, every 2 years is smarter because roots grow fast in Long Island’s climate.
You should also get an inspection immediately if you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage odors in your yard, or any backup issues. These are early warning signs that something’s developing underground.
If you’re buying a home in Shirley, always get a camera inspection before closing. Home inspectors can’t see underground pipes, and sewer line replacement can cost $25,000 – money you don’t want to discover you need after you’ve already bought the house.
First, we show you exactly what we found on the video and explain what it means in plain English. You get a written report with the precise location and our recommended solution, along with an upfront cost estimate.
You’re never pressured to decide immediately. Take the USB video to other contractors if you want a second opinion – we’re confident in our diagnosis. Most problems we find can be fixed the same day if you choose to proceed.
If it’s a simple blockage, we can often clear it immediately with our hydro-jetting equipment. For more complex issues like pipe repairs, we’ll schedule a convenient time and give you a written warranty on all work performed.
We’ve been serving Shirley families since 1998 with over 325 five-star reviews because we tell you the truth about what we find. Other companies use basic cameras that give grainy images and rough guesses about pipe conditions.
We invested in professional-grade equipment that provides crystal-clear video and precise measurements. Our cameras navigate 90-degree turns and work in pipes as small as 2 inches, reaching areas where cheaper equipment fails.
You get a complete video record on USB, written reports with GPS coordinates, and honest recommendations. We’re family-owned, fully licensed, and we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we believe in taking care of our Shirley neighbors.
