Your toilets are backing up again. You’ve tried everything, but the problem keeps coming back. Most South Huntington homeowners don’t realize the real issue is probably buried 20 feet underground where nobody can see it.
Camera inspection changes everything. Instead of digging random holes in your yard and hoping we find the problem, we send a waterproof camera through your pipes to see exactly what’s wrong. Tree roots strangling your main line. Cracked pipes letting sand and debris in. Years of grease buildup nobody knew existed.
You watch real-time footage on our monitor while we explain what we’re seeing. No more guesswork about whether you actually need expensive repairs. No more contractors telling you one thing while the real problem stays hidden underground.
We’re the family-owned cesspool company South Huntington trusts when things go wrong underground. For over 25 years, we’ve been using camera inspection to solve sewer problems that other companies miss or misdiagnose.
Long Island’s sandy soil creates unique challenges for your cesspool and septic systems. We know how tree roots from your beautiful oak and maple trees find their way into pipes. We understand how shifting soil creates pipe bellies that trap waste and cause recurring backups.
You’re not getting some corporate franchise that rotates different technicians through your neighborhood. We’re your neighbors, licensed by Suffolk County Consumer Affairs, and we’ll be here when you need us again.
We locate the best access point to your sewer line, usually through a cleanout or existing opening. Our waterproof camera travels through your pipes on a flexible cable, navigating every turn and bend in your system.
The camera sends live footage to a monitor above ground. You see exactly what we see as we move through your pipes. We record everything and use radio transmitters to mark the precise depth and location of any problems we find.
After inspection, you get a written report with GPS coordinates showing exactly where issues are located. If repairs are needed later, we know precisely where to dig without damaging your landscaping, driveway, or underground utilities. The entire process takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on your system size.

Our camera inspection covers your entire sewer line from your house foundation to your cesspool or septic tank. We inspect pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter and can navigate lines up to 300 feet long, handling even the largest South Huntington properties.
The inspection identifies problems specific to our area. Tree root intrusion from mature neighborhood trees that squeeze through tiny pipe cracks and grow into major blockages. Pipe bellies where Long Island’s sandy soil has shifted over time, creating low spots where waste collects and causes recurring backups.
We also find grease buildup from years of cooking oil disposal, foreign objects that shouldn’t have been flushed, and structural damage from ground movement. Each inspection includes detailed documentation with before and after footage, giving you a permanent record of your system’s condition.
Camera inspection typically runs $200-400 depending on your system size and how accessible your cleanouts are. This small investment can save you thousands by catching problems before they become disasters.
We’ve seen a $300 camera inspection prevent a $15,000 emergency repair. Tree roots completely blocked one homeowner’s main sewer line, but because we caught it early with camera inspection, what could have been a basement flooding emergency became a planned $2,500 repair instead.
The cost is nothing compared to having contractors dig up your entire yard trying to locate a problem. We also offer free camera inspection when you’re already having other work done like drain cleaning or cesspool pumping.
Get camera inspection when you notice slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds from toilets, or sewage odors around your property. These early warning signs mean something’s wrong underground, and camera inspection will show you exactly what.
Schedule inspection before buying any home in South Huntington. Regular home inspections don’t include sewer lines because inspectors can’t see underground pipes. With sewer line replacement costing $8,000 to $25,000, you need to know what you’re buying before you sign papers.
Consider preventive inspection every 3-5 years if you have mature trees on your property. Tree roots cause most sewer line problems in our area, and they grow slowly over years before creating major blockages.
Tree root intrusion tops the list. South Huntington’s mature oak and maple trees have aggressive root systems that seek moisture in sewer pipes. Roots squeeze through hairline cracks and grow into massive blockages that completely stop flow.
Pipe bellies are another common finding. Long Island’s sandy soil shifts over time, causing sections of pipe to sag and create low spots where waste gets trapped. These belly areas cause recurring backup problems that seem to come out of nowhere.
We also frequently find cracked or collapsed clay pipes in older homes, grease buildup from cooking oil disposal, and foreign objects that were flushed down toilets. Each problem requires different solutions, which is why accurate camera diagnosis is essential before starting any repair work.
Professional camera inspection is completely safe for your pipes. Our waterproof cameras are specifically designed for sewer line inspection, with flexible cables that easily navigate turns and bends without causing any damage.
The cameras can handle pipes as small as 2 inches and navigate 90-degree turns without putting stress on pipe joints or walls. The equipment is built to work in harsh sewer environments and has safety features that prevent any damage to your system.
Camera inspection is actually gentler than traditional diagnostic methods like mechanical snaking or high-pressure water jetting. There’s no physical stress on your pipes, no chemicals, and no force that could worsen existing cracks or weak spots in older pipe systems.
Absolutely. Being present during camera inspection lets you see real-time footage on our monitor and understand exactly what’s happening in your sewer system. This transparency helps you make informed decisions about any recommended repairs.
Watching the inspection gives you confidence that our diagnosis is accurate. You’ll see the tree roots, cracks, or blockages for yourself rather than just taking our word for it. Most homeowners are surprised by what they discover underground.
The inspection takes 30-90 minutes, and we explain what we’re seeing as we navigate through your system. You’ll receive a written report with recorded footage afterward, but seeing it live helps you understand why specific repairs are necessary.
We provide a detailed written report with GPS coordinates showing exactly where problems are located. This precision eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary digging when repairs are needed.
Minor issues like small root intrusions or grease buildup can often be resolved immediately with high-pressure water jetting. More serious problems like collapsed pipes or major root blockages require excavation, but we know precisely where to dig to minimize damage to your property.
We explain all your options with upfront pricing for recommended work. There’s no pressure to decide immediately – you have complete information to make the right choice for your situation and budget. Some problems need immediate attention to prevent system failure, while others can wait for convenient scheduling.
