You’re not guessing anymore about what’s wrong with your drains. Our camera inspection shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes – every crack, clog, or root intrusion that could cost you thousands later.
No more wondering if that slow drain is just a minor issue or something bigger brewing underground. You get real-time footage of your entire sewer system, plus a detailed report showing precisely where any problems are located.
When you can see the actual condition of your pipes, you make smart decisions about repairs instead of getting blindsided by emergency excavation work that tears up your yard and drains your wallet.
We’ve been serving Farmingville families since 1998, and we know exactly what problems show up in local sewer systems. Clay pipes shifting in Suffolk County soil, root intrusion from mature trees, and the unique challenges that come with older cesspool systems.
You’re not just getting a camera inspection – you’re getting decades of local knowledge about what works, what doesn’t, and how to fix problems the right way the first time. Our family-owned company has built its reputation on honest assessments and transparent pricing.
We’ve seen every type of pipe problem Farmingville properties can throw at us, and our customers trust us because we tell them exactly what they’re looking at, not what we think they want to hear.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer system – usually a cleanout, sometimes through a toilet connection if needed. Our waterproof camera travels through your entire pipe system on a flexible cable, reaching every section that could be causing problems.
You watch the real-time footage on our monitor as we guide the camera through your lines. We point out exactly what we’re seeing – whether it’s normal wear, minor buildup, or something that needs attention.
The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours depending on your system’s layout. You get immediate results, plus a written report with GPS coordinates showing the exact location of any issues we find. No digging, no guesswork, no surprises about what’s actually wrong with your pipes.

Your camera inspection covers your entire sewer system from your house to the street connection. We document pipe condition, identify any blockages or damage, and measure the severity of any problems we find.
In Farmingville, we commonly find issues with older clay pipes that have shifted due to soil conditions, root intrusion from the mature trees throughout the area, and buildup from decades of use. Many properties here were built when pipe materials and installation methods were different from today’s standards.
You receive a detailed video report showing exactly what we found, written documentation of our findings, and GPS coordinates marking problem locations. If repairs are needed, you know precisely what’s wrong and where, which saves time and money when work needs to be done.
Camera inspection typically costs between $200-$400 for most residential properties in Farmingville, depending on your pipe length and accessibility. This investment prevents emergency repairs that often start around $3,000 and can reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
The inspection fee is often credited toward any repairs we perform, so you’re not paying twice. When you consider that we can identify problems while they’re still manageable – costing hundreds to fix instead of thousands – the inspection pays for itself by catching issues early.
Compare this to the cost of emergency excavation, yard restoration, and system replacement, and you’ll see why smart property owners schedule regular camera inspections to stay ahead of problems.
Most Farmingville homeowners should schedule camera inspection every 1-3 years, depending on your system’s age and condition. If you have older pipes, large trees near your sewer line, or have experienced repeated clogs or backups, annual inspection makes sense.
Properties with newer systems in good condition can often go 3-5 years between inspections. However, if you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors, don’t wait – schedule an inspection immediately to catch problems before they become emergencies.
For real estate transactions, camera inspection is often required by lenders and provides valuable documentation for buyers and sellers about the actual condition of the sewer system.
Camera inspection reveals root intrusion, pipe cracks, blockages, collapsed sections, and deteriorated pipe walls that you can’t see any other way. In Farmingville, we commonly find tree roots that have grown into older clay pipes through small cracks, creating major blockages over time.
We also identify buildup from grease, debris, or sediment that restricts flow, and structural damage from shifting soil or age. The camera shows us pipe joints that have separated, sections where the pipe has bellied or sagged, and areas where the pipe material itself is deteriorating.
Without camera inspection, these problems often go undetected until they cause complete blockages, sewage backups, or system failure. Early detection means you can address issues while they’re still manageable and affordable to repair.
Camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes in any way. Our waterproof camera travels through your system on a flexible cable that’s designed specifically for pipe inspection, with no risk of causing cracks, scratches, or other damage.
The process is much safer than traditional methods that required digging or using harsh chemicals to try to identify problems. There’s no excavation, no disruption to your property, and no risk of damaging landscaping, driveways, or other structures.
The camera inspection actually protects your pipes by identifying problems before they require more invasive repair methods. Early detection through camera inspection often prevents the need for emergency excavation that can cause additional damage to your property.
Our professional-grade camera equipment works effectively in PVC, clay, cast iron, and other pipe materials commonly found in Farmingville properties. The camera can navigate pipes from 2 inches to several feet in diameter and travel through systems up to 300 feet long.
We can inspect straight runs, navigate 90-degree turns, and document conditions in tight spaces where other inspection methods fail. The high-definition camera provides crystal-clear footage that shows even small cracks, minor root intrusion, or early-stage deterioration.
For older clay pipes common in Farmingville, camera inspection is particularly valuable because it shows joint separation, root penetration, and structural integrity without the need for excavation. Even in severely damaged pipes, we can often get enough footage to identify problem areas and plan appropriate repairs.
You receive a comprehensive report including video footage, still images of any problems we found, and written documentation of our findings. We provide GPS coordinates showing the exact location of any issues, so if repairs are needed later, we know precisely where to work.
If we find problems, we give you detailed explanations of what needs to be addressed, cost estimates for repairs, and timeline recommendations. For minor issues, we might suggest simple maintenance steps you can take. For more serious problems, we’ll outline your repair options and help you prioritize what needs immediate attention.
The report serves as valuable documentation for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or warranty work. You’ll have a clear record of your system’s condition and our professional recommendations for keeping it functioning properly for years to come.
