You’re tired of being told your line needs replacement when that might not even be the problem. Our video camera inspection gives you the real story about what’s happening underground.
See the actual blockage, root intrusion, or pipe damage on a monitor in real-time. Get footage saved to a USB drive so you can get second opinions or use it for insurance claims. No more paying for repairs you don’t need.
When you know exactly where the problem is and how serious it really is, you can make smart decisions about repairs. That’s the difference between a $2,500 targeted fix and a $15,000 emergency replacement.
We’ve been serving Lake Ronkonkoma families for over 25 years. We’re the local company that actually lives here and understands the unique challenges Long Island properties face.
From the sandy soil that causes pipe bellies to the oak and maple tree roots that love to invade sewer lines, we know what problems are common in our area. We also know which companies try to oversell services to homeowners who don’t know better.
That’s why we show you exactly what we find. You see the same footage we do, and we explain what it means in plain English.
We locate your cleanout or access point and insert a waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod. The high-definition camera travels through your entire sewer line, sending live video back to our monitor above ground.
You watch with us as we identify any blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or pipe damage. We mark the exact location and depth of any problems we find, so you know precisely where issues are located on your property.
When the inspection is complete, you get a USB drive with the full video recording. This gives you documentation for insurance claims, contractor estimates, or simply peace of mind that you know what you’re dealing with.

Our professional-grade cameras can inspect pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter. The flexible design navigates turns and bends in your sewer line, giving us a complete view of your entire system.
Lake Ronkonkoma properties often have older clay pipes or cast iron systems that are prone to specific issues. Our equipment can detect the early signs of problems common to Long Island homes, including soil shifting damage and root intrusion from the mature trees that make our area beautiful.
The high-resolution footage shows details that help us recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes a simple cleaning solves the problem. Other times, you might need targeted repairs. Either way, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most residential camera inspections in Lake Ronkonkoma range from $200 to $400, depending on the length of your sewer line and accessibility. Compare that to emergency sewer repairs that start around $3,000 and can reach $10,000 or more when pipes need replacement.
The inspection pays for itself by catching problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix. We’ve seen situations where a $300 camera inspection saved homeowners from a $15,000 emergency replacement by identifying the real problem early.
If you decide to have us handle any repairs we find, we’ll often discount the inspection cost from your total bill.
Our cameras can identify root intrusions, pipe cracks, blockages, collapsed sections, pipe bellies, grease buildup, and foreign objects. In Lake Ronkonkoma, we commonly find tree root problems from oak and maple trees, and pipe bellies caused by Long Island’s sandy soil shifting over time.
The camera also shows us the overall condition of your pipes, helping predict future problems before they cause backups or emergencies. We can spot early signs of deterioration in older clay or cast iron pipes that are common in established Long Island neighborhoods.
You’ll see everything we see on the monitor, so there’s no guesswork about what’s actually wrong with your system.
Absolutely. Most home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because inspectors can’t see underground pipes. A camera inspection fills that gap and protects you from expensive surprises after closing.
We’ve seen buyers discover major sewer problems within a few years of purchase that could have been identified beforehand. If you look at the main sewer trap and see that it doesn’t have brass plugs, that usually means there have been problems before.
The inspection gives you documentation to negotiate repair costs with the seller, or at least lets you budget for necessary work. It’s much better to know about a $5,000 sewer repair before you close than to discover it six months later.
No digging required. Our camera inspection is completely non-invasive. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts or access points, so there’s no damage to your landscaping, driveway, or property.
This is a huge advantage over traditional methods where companies start digging holes in your yard hoping to find the problem. Our approach protects your property while giving you more accurate information about what’s actually wrong.
The entire process typically takes 1-2 hours, and when we’re done, you won’t even know we were there except for the valuable information you now have about your sewer system.
We recommend camera inspection every 3-5 years for most homes, or every 2 years if you have large trees near your sewer line. Properties in Lake Ronkonkoma with mature oak or maple trees should consider more frequent inspections since roots are attracted to the moisture in sewer pipes.
If you’re experiencing slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewer odors, don’t wait for your regular inspection schedule. These are early warning signs that something’s developing in your system.
Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies. It’s much cheaper to clear roots annually than to replace a collapsed pipe that’s been damaged by years of root intrusion.
First, you get a complete explanation of what we found and what it means for your system. We provide you with the video footage on a USB drive so you can get second opinions or use it for insurance documentation.
We’ll explain your options, from simple cleaning to targeted repairs to full replacement if necessary. There’s no pressure to use our repair services – the inspection gives you the information you need to make the best decision for your situation.
If you do choose to have us handle the repairs, we often discount the inspection cost from your total bill. Either way, you’ll have the facts you need to move forward confidently instead of guessing about what’s wrong underground.
