Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of companies telling you what’s “probably” wrong with your pipes. Our camera inspection eliminates the guesswork completely.
See the actual problem with your own eyes. Root intrusion, cracks, blockages, collapsed sections – we’ll show you exactly where the issue is and how far down the line it’s located. No more paying for unnecessary repairs or getting surprised by hidden damage.
When you know what you’re dealing with, you make better decisions. Fix what needs fixing. Leave what doesn’t. Simple as that.
We’ve been serving Southold families since 1998. We’re the local company that shows up when we say we will and tells you the truth about what we find.
Over 325 five-star reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen because we do the work right the first time and treat your property like it’s our own. Licensed, insured, and committed to this community.
We know Southold’s older homes and the unique challenges they present. Clay pipes, root systems, shifting soil – we’ve seen it all and know how to handle it properly.
We start by inserting a waterproof, high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable into your drain or sewer line. The camera travels through your pipes, sending real-time footage to our monitor so we can see exactly what’s happening inside.
As the camera moves through your system, we’re watching for cracks, blockages, root intrusion, collapsed sections, or any other issues. The camera includes a distance counter, so we know exactly where problems are located – no more digging up your entire yard to find one bad section.
The whole process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system size. When we’re done, you’ll have a clear understanding of your pipes’ condition and what, if anything, needs attention.

You get real-time video footage of your entire pipe system. We’ll show you any problems we find and explain exactly what you’re looking at – no technical jargon, just straight talk about what’s wrong and what it means.
In Southold, many homes have older clay pipes that are particularly susceptible to root intrusion from the mature trees that make this area beautiful. Our camera inspection can spot these issues before they become major blockages that back up into your home.
For real estate transactions, we provide the documentation your lender or bank requires. Many Southold home sales require camera inspection verification, and we handle that process smoothly so your closing stays on track.
Camera inspection costs vary based on your system size and accessibility, but most Southold homeowners pay between $200-400 for a complete inspection. That’s a fraction of what you’d spend on unnecessary repairs or excavation work.
Think about it this way: if we find a problem that requires a $300 spot repair instead of a $3,000 full line replacement, the inspection just saved you $2,700. And if we don’t find any problems, you have peace of mind that your system is working properly.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Many lenders and banks now require video camera inspection for Southold real estate transactions, especially for older homes with septic systems. It’s become a standard part of the due diligence process.
Even if your lender doesn’t require it, a camera inspection protects both buyer and seller. Sellers can address any issues before listing, and buyers avoid inheriting expensive pipe problems. We’ve seen too many deals fall apart at closing because of undiscovered sewer line issues.
We provide all the documentation your attorney and lender need, formatted properly for your closing. This keeps your transaction moving forward smoothly.
Camera inspection reveals root intrusion, which is extremely common in Southold’s tree-lined neighborhoods. Those beautiful old oaks and maples have root systems that seek out moisture in your pipes, eventually causing blockages or pipe damage.
We also find cracked or collapsed clay pipes, which were commonly used in older Southold construction. Shifting soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and age can cause these pipes to fail. The camera shows us exactly where the damage is located.
Other common issues include grease buildup, foreign objects, and pipe misalignment. Whatever’s wrong, the camera will show us – and you – exactly what we’re dealing with.
Most camera inspections take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system size and complexity. We’re not rushing through the process – we’re being thorough to make sure we catch any potential problems.
If we find issues that need closer examination, it might take a bit longer. But we’d rather spend the extra time getting it right than miss something that could cause you problems later.
We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we schedule your appointment. Our goal is to be efficient while being completely thorough.
Absolutely. Camera inspection is one of the best preventive maintenance tools available for your septic system. We can spot small issues before they become expensive emergencies.
For example, we might find minor root intrusion that can be cleared with hydro jetting now, preventing a complete pipe collapse later. Or we’ll identify a small crack that can be spot-repaired before it becomes a major leak.
Regular camera inspections – every few years for most Southold homes – help you stay ahead of problems. It’s much cheaper to maintain your system than to replace it.
We’ll show you exactly what we found and explain your options clearly. Some problems require immediate attention, others can wait. We’ll help you understand what’s urgent and what can be planned for later.
If repairs are needed, we provide detailed estimates for the work. You’re never pressured to make quick decisions – take time to consider your options. We want you to feel confident about any work you decide to have done.
Many problems we find can be fixed with targeted repairs rather than full system replacement. The camera inspection helps us recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
