Your drains are backing up again. Your basement flooded last month. You’re tired of throwing money at problems that keep coming back.
Here’s what changes when you can actually see inside your pipes: You know if it’s tree roots, a collapsed section, or just a stubborn clog. You get the right fix the first time instead of three different attempts. You avoid the $15,000 emergency that becomes a $2,500 planned repair.
No more digging up your yard hoping to find the problem. No more paying for repairs that don’t work. Just clear answers about what’s actually wrong and exactly where to fix it.
AAA Dependable Cesspool has been serving Suffolk County since 1998. We know how Long Island’s sandy soil shifts and causes pipe bellies. We understand why your oak trees’ roots love your sewer lines.
This family-owned business built our reputation on transparency and honest service in East Patchogue. No overselling, no surprise charges, just straightforward answers about what you’re dealing with underground.
We’ve seen what happens when cesspools fail near the Patchogue River. We know the local soil conditions that cause problems other companies miss.
First, we locate your sewer access point and prepare the line with a water flush to clear debris. Then we insert a waterproof, high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable into your pipes.
You watch the live video feed as the camera travels through your system. The camera shows exactly what’s blocking your line, where pipes are cracked, or how far tree roots have invaded. The whole inspection takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
We document everything with photos and video, giving you a permanent record of your system’s condition. You get a written report explaining what we found and what needs attention. No guesswork, no surprises.

Your camera inspection includes real-time video footage of your entire accessible sewer system. You receive high-definition images of any problems, with exact locations and depths marked for future repairs.
East Patchogue properties face unique challenges. The area’s mature trees create root intrusion problems that camera inspections catch early. Sandy soil conditions cause pipe settling that shows up clearly on video before it becomes a major issue.
You get a detailed written report explaining every finding in plain language. The documentation works for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or planning future maintenance. Everything is recorded and saved for your records.
Most residential camera inspections in East Patchogue cost between $200 and $400, depending on your pipe length and how easy it is to access your system. The price stays the same whether we find a simple clog or major damage.
Compare that to emergency sewer repairs that start around $3,000 and quickly hit $10,000 or more when you need pipe replacement. The inspection pays for itself by catching problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix.
AAA Dependable provides upfront pricing with no hidden fees. You know exactly what you’ll pay before we start the inspection.
Camera inspection reveals tree root intrusions that haven’t caused backups yet but are growing inside your pipes. It shows hairline cracks that will become major breaks during the next heavy rain. You can see pipe bellies where waste gets trapped, causing slow drainage.
The camera catches collapsed pipe sections, improper connections from previous repairs, and grease buildup that’s narrowing your pipes. It also identifies outdated pipe materials that need replacement before they fail completely.
Most importantly, it shows you exactly where problems are located underground, so repairs target the right spot instead of guessing and digging in multiple places.
Absolutely. Sewer line replacement costs $8,000 to $25,000, so you need to know what you’re getting into before closing. Most home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because inspectors can’t see underground pipes.
Camera inspection fills that gap and protects you from expensive surprises after you own the property. The inspection results help you negotiate repair costs with the seller or give you peace of mind that the sewer system is in good condition.
Many buyers discover major sewer problems that weren’t obvious during the regular home inspection. Don’t let underground issues become your financial problem after closing.
Most East Patchogue homes benefit from camera inspection every 3-5 years, or every 2 years if you have large trees near your sewer line. Older homes or properties with previous sewer problems may need more frequent inspections.
You should also get camera inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring backups, or unusual odors from your drains. These symptoms often indicate developing problems that camera inspection can identify before they become emergencies.
Regular inspections catch small issues while they’re still affordable to fix. It’s much cheaper than dealing with sewage backups in your basement or emergency repairs during holidays and weekends.
No. Camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or landscaping. The waterproof camera is smaller than most clogs that already travel through your pipes, so it moves through safely without causing any harm.
There’s no digging, no disruption to your yard, and no damage to your driveway or landscaping. The camera simply travels through your existing pipes using the same path that water and waste normally take.
The flexible cable and camera head are designed specifically for sewer inspection and navigate bends and turns without scratching or damaging pipe walls. Your property looks exactly the same when we’re finished.
Yes. Camera inspection works for both sewer systems connected to municipal lines and cesspool systems common in East Patchogue. The camera can inspect the pipes leading to your cesspool and identify blockages, root intrusions, or damaged sections.
For cesspool systems, camera inspection is especially valuable because problems in the distribution box or pipes can cause uneven drainage and system failure. The camera shows whether your cesspool is receiving waste properly or if pipes are backing up.
This is particularly important in East Patchogue, where many properties are transitioning from cesspools to sewer connections. Camera inspection helps you understand your current system’s condition and plan for any necessary upgrades.
