You’re not guessing anymore about what’s happening in your pipes. Our high-definition cameras travel through your entire system, showing you exactly where problems exist and what needs attention. No more accepting vague explanations about “broken lines” or “root damage” without proof.
The footage doesn’t lie. You watch everything on our monitor in real-time, and we explain what we’re seeing as we go. When we’re done, you get a detailed report with video footage and still images of any issues we found, plus exact locations and cost estimates for repairs.
This isn’t about finding problems that don’t exist. It’s about giving you the complete picture so you can make informed decisions about your property.
We’ve been serving North Patchogue families for over 25 years. We’re not the biggest company in Suffolk County, but we’re the most honest one you’ll find.
Our family-owned business understands what it’s like living with cesspool and septic systems in this area. We know the challenges North Patchogue residents face with aging infrastructure and high water tables that can cause system failures.
We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we believe in supporting the people who support our community. When you call us, you’re not getting a sales pitch—you’re getting straight answers from people who actually care about doing the job right.
We start by accessing your system through existing cleanouts or entry points, so there’s no unnecessary digging or property damage. Our waterproof camera travels through your pipes on a flexible cable, recording high-definition video as it moves through the entire system.
The camera head has bright LED lights that illuminate even the darkest areas, and you watch everything happen on our monitor. We point out what we’re seeing and explain any issues we discover. The camera measures distances and identifies exact locations of problems, so if repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work.
After the inspection, we provide you with a complete report including video footage and still images. If we find problems, we give you exact repair locations and cost estimates with no surprises. If your system looks good, we’ll tell you that too—we don’t create work that doesn’t need to be done.

Our camera inspections cover your entire system from the house connection to the cesspool or septic tank. We check for clogs, cracks, root intrusion, pipe collapse, and any other issues that could cause problems down the road.
In North Patchogue, we commonly find tree root intrusion due to the mature landscaping throughout the area. We also see issues related to the high water table that can affect system performance, especially during heavy rains or seasonal changes.
Every inspection includes real-time viewing on our monitor, a detailed written report, and video documentation you can keep for your records. If you need the inspection for real estate transactions, we can provide certification and send results directly to banks or lenders within 15 minutes of completing the work. For homeowners planning renovations, we’ll assess whether your current plumbing can handle additional fixtures or changes to your system.
Most residential camera inspections in North Patchogue range from $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and system accessibility. This might seem like an expense, but compare it to emergency repairs that start around $3,000 and can quickly reach $10,000 when pipes need replacement.
The inspection pays for itself by catching problems early. A small crack or partial blockage that costs $300 to fix today could become a complete system failure costing thousands if left untreated. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Our high-definition cameras identify clogs, cracks, root intrusion, pipe collapse, grease buildup, and structural damage throughout your system. We can see exactly where problems exist and measure their severity.
In North Patchogue, we commonly find tree roots entering older pipe joints, especially from mature oaks and maples common in the area. We also spot issues caused by the high water table that can affect cesspool performance during wet seasons. The camera shows us pipe material condition, joint integrity, and any foreign objects that might have entered your system.
You’ll see everything we see on our monitor in real-time, and we explain what each issue means for your system’s performance and longevity.
Absolutely. A camera inspection before purchasing a North Patchogue home can save you from inheriting expensive septic problems that aren’t visible during standard home inspections.
Many older homes in the area have original cesspool systems from the 1960s and 70s that may need replacement soon. A camera inspection reveals the actual condition of underground pipes and can identify issues that could cost thousands to repair. If we find problems, you can negotiate with the seller or budget for necessary repairs.
Banks and lenders often require video inspections for properties with septic systems, and we can provide certification and send results directly to your lender within 15 minutes of completion.
For most North Patchogue homes, we recommend camera inspections every 3-5 years as part of routine maintenance, or whenever you notice slow drains, unusual odors, or backup issues.
If you have mature trees near your septic lines, annual inspections help catch root intrusion before it causes major blockages. Properties with older systems or those that have had previous repairs should be checked more frequently. If you’re experiencing recurring problems despite regular pumping, a camera inspection can identify underlying issues causing the repeated failures.
The key is catching problems while they’re still small and manageable, rather than waiting for a complete system failure.
Yes, our cameras can locate jewelry, toys, or other valuable items that have been dropped down drains, as long as they’re still within the pipe system and haven’t reached the cesspool.
The high-definition video clearly shows objects in the pipes, and we can determine the best method for retrieval without damaging your plumbing. We’ve recovered wedding rings, children’s toys, and other valuable items for North Patchogue families over the years.
However, success depends on how long the item has been in the system and whether it’s moved beyond the accessible pipe sections. The sooner you call after losing something, the better chance we have of finding and retrieving it.
If we discover issues during your inspection, we provide exact locations, detailed explanations of each problem, and upfront cost estimates for any necessary repairs. You’re never pressured to make immediate decisions or authorize work on the spot.
We explain which problems need immediate attention and which ones you can monitor over time. For minor issues, we might recommend simple maintenance steps you can take yourself. For more serious problems, we outline your repair options and help you understand the pros and cons of each approach.
You get everything in writing, including video documentation, so you can take time to consider your options or get second opinions if desired. Our goal is giving you complete information so you can make the best decision for your situation and budget.
