You’re dealing with slow drains, weird smells, or backup issues. Most companies show up and start digging holes, hoping they’ll find the problem. We use professional camera technology to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong, where it’s located, and how serious the damage really is.
Our waterproof cameras travel through your entire system, sending back real-time footage. We spot cracks, blockages, root intrusions, and pipe problems without damaging your landscaping or driveway. What could have been a $15,000 emergency becomes a planned repair when you catch problems early with camera technology.
Camera inspection typically costs between $200-$400. Compare that to emergency sewer repairs starting around $3,000 and quickly reaching $10,000 when pipes need replacement. The inspection pays for itself by catching problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix.
We’ve served Suffolk County families for over 25 years. We’re not just another cesspool company—we’re your neighbors, and we understand Calverton’s unique challenges.
Long Island’s sandy soil shifts over time, causing pipes to sag and create low spots where waste gets trapped. Those beautiful oak and maple trees have root systems that love sewer pipes, squeezing through tiny cracks and growing until they completely block your line. We know these local conditions because we’ve been diagnosing and fixing them for decades.
Our family-owned business has built a reputation on honesty and dependable service. With over 325 five-star reviews and full Suffolk County Consumer Affairs licensing, we focus on what we can genuinely deliver rather than making empty promises.
First, we insert a high-definition waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable into your drain or sewer line through an existing access point. No digging required. The camera travels through your pipes, capturing live video footage that we both watch on a monitor in real-time.
Our cameras work in pipes ranging from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter. Radio transmitters on the camera record the exact depth and physical location of any defect or obstruction. This means we can tell you precisely where the problem is located—down to the foot—so repairs are targeted and efficient.
The entire inspection typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system size. We provide you with a clear explanation of what we found, recorded footage for your records, and honest recommendations for next steps. No guesswork, no unnecessary repairs, just straight answers about your pipes’ condition.

Our camera inspection service includes a thorough visual examination of your entire accessible pipe system. We identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe bellies, and structural damage. You receive live viewing of the inspection process, recorded footage, and a detailed explanation of findings.
In Calverton’s specific conditions, we commonly find issues related to the area’s sandy soil and mature tree population. Pipe bellies form when soil shifts, creating low spots where waste accumulates. Tree roots from the region’s oak and maple trees often infiltrate through small cracks, eventually causing major blockages.
We also provide camera inspections for real estate transactions, since most standard home inspections don’t evaluate sewer lines. Our reports help buyers negotiate repair costs or provide peace of mind that the system is in good condition. For existing homeowners, regular camera inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies, protecting both your property and your wallet.
Most residential camera inspections in Calverton range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. This cost is minimal compared to emergency sewer repairs that typically start around $3,000 and can reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
The inspection pays for itself by identifying problems early when they’re still manageable and affordable to fix. Think of it as insurance against major surprises—catching a small crack now prevents a collapsed pipe later. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Our cameras identify virtually any issue inside your pipes. We commonly find tree root intrusion, where roots squeeze through small cracks and grow until they block the entire line. Pipe bellies are frequent in Calverton due to the sandy soil shifting over time, creating low spots where waste gets trapped.
We also spot cracks, collapsed sections, grease buildup, debris blockages, and pipe joint separations. The camera shows us pipe material condition—whether you have older clay, cast iron, or modern PVC pipes—and any deterioration that might cause future problems. Each issue is documented with precise location data, so repairs target the exact problem area without unnecessary digging.
No digging required. Our waterproof cameras access your pipes through existing cleanouts, drain openings, or other access points already built into your system. The flexible cable-mounted camera travels through your pipes while we watch live footage on our monitor above ground.
This non-invasive approach protects your landscaping, driveway, and property. You avoid the mess, expense, and time required to restore excavated areas. Radio transmitters on the camera pinpoint problem locations from the surface, so if repairs are needed later, we know exactly where to work. It’s a clean, efficient process that typically takes 30 minutes to an hour.
Schedule a camera inspection when you notice slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors around your property. These are early warning signs that something’s developing inside your pipes. Don’t wait for a complete backup—that’s when small problems become expensive emergencies.
We also recommend camera inspections before buying a home, since standard inspections don’t evaluate sewer lines. If you’re planning renovations that might affect your plumbing, an inspection ensures your pipes can handle increased usage. For existing systems, periodic inspections every few years help catch issues like root intrusion or pipe deterioration before they cause major problems.
Yes, our cameras can locate jewelry, toys, or other items that accidentally fall down drains. The high-definition footage shows us exactly where items are lodged within your pipe system, making retrieval planning much easier and more successful.
However, retrieval isn’t always possible depending on the item’s location and your pipe configuration. Sometimes items wash through the system completely, while others get caught at pipe joints or bends where we can access them. The camera inspection at least tells you definitively whether the item is recoverable and where it’s located, saving you from wondering and potentially damaging pipes with amateur retrieval attempts.
Absolutely. You watch the live inspection footage with us on our monitor, and we explain what we’re seeing in real-time. This transparency helps you understand your system’s condition and make informed decisions about any recommended repairs or maintenance.
We also provide recorded footage for your records, which is valuable for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or future reference. Our technicians point out specific issues as we encounter them, explaining the severity and potential consequences of each problem. This visual evidence eliminates guesswork and ensures you’re making decisions based on actual pipe conditions rather than assumptions.
