You’re dealing with slow drains, mysterious backups, or that nagging worry about what’s happening underground. A camera inspection gives you real answers instead of expensive guesswork.
Our high-resolution cameras travel through your entire system, showing you cracks, blockages, root intrusion, and pipe damage in real-time. You’ll see exactly what needs attention and what doesn’t—no more wondering if that contractor is being straight with you.
When you know what you’re dealing with, you can make smart decisions about repairs, avoid unnecessary excavation, and stop small problems before they become expensive disasters.
We’ve been serving Halesite families since 1998. We know Suffolk County soil conditions, local regulations, and the specific challenges Long Island homeowners face with their septic systems.
As a family-owned business, our reputation depends on doing right by our neighbors. We use state-of-the-art camera equipment and provide honest assessments—if you don’t need expensive repairs, we’ll tell you.
We’re Suffolk County Consumer Affairs licensed and fully insured. When Halesite residents need straight answers about their sewer and drain systems, they call us first.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line—usually through a cleanout or drain opening. Our waterproof, high-definition camera is attached to a flexible cable that navigates through your pipes, even around bends and corners.
As the camera travels through your system, it transmits live footage to our monitor. We can see blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe damage, and other issues in real-time. The camera includes a transmitter that pinpoints the exact location of any problems we find.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your system’s complexity. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found, and we can provide you with a recording of the inspection for your records or insurance purposes.

Our camera inspections detect problems that would otherwise remain hidden until they cause major damage. We commonly find tree root intrusion—a serious issue in Halesite where mature trees can send roots into even small pipe cracks, eventually causing complete blockages.
The inspection also reveals pipe deterioration, bellying, crushing, and separation that occurs over time. For Halesite homeowners buying or selling property, camera inspection provides the documentation banks and lenders often require for real estate transactions.
Since Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations in 2019, understanding your current system’s condition is more important than ever. Our inspections help you plan for necessary upgrades and ensure compliance with local regulations while protecting your property investment.
Camera inspection costs vary based on your system’s complexity and accessibility, but most residential inspections in Halesite range from $200 to $400. This investment can save you thousands by identifying problems early and avoiding unnecessary excavation.
The cost is minimal compared to emergency repairs or replacing an entire system. Many homeowners find that camera inspection pays for itself by preventing one major backup or by providing documentation that helps with insurance claims.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we start the inspection.
Our cameras detect a wide range of issues including tree root intrusion, pipe cracks, blockages, collapsed sections, and joint separations. Root intrusion is particularly common in Halesite due to mature landscaping—roots naturally seek the moisture in sewer lines.
We also identify bellying (sagging pipes), crushing from soil pressure, and deterioration from age. The camera shows us grease buildup, debris accumulation, and any foreign objects that might be causing drainage problems.
For older homes in Halesite, camera inspection often reveals issues with pipe materials that were common decades ago but don’t meet today’s standards. This information helps you plan for future repairs or replacements.
While not always legally required, camera inspection is increasingly requested by buyers, real estate agents, and mortgage lenders. Many banks now require video documentation of sewer line condition before approving loans, especially for older properties.
Having a recent camera inspection report can actually help your sale by demonstrating that you’ve maintained your property responsibly. If issues are found, you can address them before listing or adjust your asking price accordingly.
For buyers, camera inspection provides peace of mind and negotiating power. It’s much better to discover problems during the inspection period than after you’ve moved in and are responsible for expensive repairs.
For preventive maintenance, we recommend camera inspection every 3-5 years for most Halesite homes, or whenever you notice changes in drainage performance. Homes with mature trees should consider more frequent inspections due to higher root intrusion risk.
If you’re experiencing recurring backups, slow drainage, or unusual odors, don’t wait—schedule an inspection immediately. These symptoms often indicate problems that will worsen over time and become more expensive to fix.
New homeowners should have camera inspection done within the first year to establish a baseline and identify any issues the previous owners may not have disclosed.
Camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or property. Our flexible cameras are designed to navigate through existing pipes without causing harm, even in older or more fragile systems.
Unlike traditional inspection methods that required digging up your yard, camera inspection only needs access through existing cleanouts or drain openings. Your landscaping, driveway, and lawn remain untouched throughout the process.
The cameras are waterproof and designed specifically for sewer environments. They’re small enough to navigate through standard residential pipes while providing high-quality video that shows us everything we need to see.
Yes, camera inspection is excellent for evaluating cesspool systems common in Halesite. We can inspect the pipes leading to your cesspool, identify root intrusion in the distribution lines, and assess the condition of baffles and inlet/outlet structures.
Camera inspection helps determine if your cesspool is functioning properly or if problems like root damage, pipe crushing, or blockages are affecting performance. This information is crucial for planning maintenance or deciding if system upgrades are needed.
With Suffolk County’s new regulations requiring cesspool replacements in many situations, camera inspection provides the documentation needed to understand your system’s condition and plan for compliance with local requirements.
