You’re tired of companies telling you your line needs replacement without showing you why. Our camera inspection gives you real answers with video evidence you can see for yourself.
No more guessing games. No more paying for “maybe” solutions that don’t work. You get complete video inspection with precise measurements showing exactly where problems are located and what needs attention.
When the inspection finishes, you receive a USB drive with the footage for your records. Use it to get second opinions, negotiate with contractors, or simply understand what’s happening under your property.
We’re a family-owned business that’s been serving Sag Harbor and Suffolk County for over 25 years. We understand the unique challenges that come with this area’s soil conditions, seasonal property demands, and coastal environment.
Unlike companies that rush through inspections, we take time to explain what you’re seeing and answer your questions. Our technicians know how Long Island’s sandy soil and fluctuating groundwater levels affect your system.
You’re working with licensed, insured professionals who live and work in this community. We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we appreciate what you do for our area.

Your camera inspection covers your entire accessible pipe system from house to street or cesspool. We check for blockages, cracks, root intrusions, collapsed sections, and any other issues that could cause problems.
In Sag Harbor, we commonly find tree root problems from the beautiful oak and maple trees that love sewer pipes. Our video inspection also identifies pipe bellies caused by shifting sandy soil and cracked pipes in older homes with clay or cast iron systems.
You receive GPS coordinates marking exact problem locations, so future repairs don’t damage your landscaping, sprinkler systems, or utilities. The inspection fee can often be credited toward repairs if you choose our services.
Too many companies tell homeowners their pipes need replacement without showing proof of the problem. We’ve seen this happen repeatedly – the issue isn’t always what they claim, it’s often just a guess based on symptoms rather than actual diagnosis.
Our camera inspection lets you see the actual problem with your own eyes. You get video evidence with precise measurements showing exactly where issues are located and how severe they really are. This prevents contractors from overselling unnecessary work or taking multiple attempts to fix problems they haven’t properly diagnosed.
When you have video proof, you make informed decisions based on facts, not guesswork. You can get second opinions from other professionals using the same footage we provide on USB drive. This transparency saves you from costly trial-and-error repairs that may not address the real problem.
Camera inspection costs in Sag Harbor typically range from $275 to $500 depending on the length and complexity of your pipe system. Emergency or after-hours service may include additional fees of $150-300, but most routine inspections fall within the standard range.
The good news is that we credit the inspection fee toward repair work if you choose to move forward with our services. This means you’re not paying twice – the inspection becomes part of your repair investment rather than an additional expense.
Considering that a simple camera inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs or excavation work, it’s one of the smartest investments you can make in your property’s plumbing system. Many homeowners discover that problems they thought required expensive replacement actually need much simpler, more affordable solutions.
In Sag Harbor, our camera inspections frequently reveal tree root intrusions from the area’s mature oak and maple trees. Roots find tiny cracks in pipes and grow until they completely block the line, especially common in older clay and cast iron systems throughout the historic village.
Our video inspection also reveals pipe bellies caused by Long Island’s shifting sandy soil. These low spots trap waste and create persistent backup problems that homeowners often mistake for simple clogs. Cracked or collapsed pipes are common in older homes, particularly those built with clay pipes that deteriorate over decades of ground movement.
Other typical issues include grease buildup from cooking oil disposal, foreign objects that shouldn’t have been flushed, and mineral deposits from Long Island’s hard water that reduce pipe diameter over time. Each of these problems requires different solutions, which is why seeing the actual issue through camera inspection is so valuable.
Absolutely, especially in Sag Harbor where many homes have older sewer systems that may not have been updated in decades. We’ve seen too many buyers move into homes only to discover major sewer problems within the first few years – problems that could have been identified and negotiated before purchase.
If you look at the main sewer trap and see it doesn’t have brass plugs, that usually means there’s been a problem before that required access. Our camera inspection will reveal any existing issues that the seller should address or that you can use to negotiate a lower purchase price.
We can provide snapshot pictures of any problem spots for use in purchase negotiations. It’s much better to know about $10,000 worth of sewer line replacement before you buy than to discover it after you’ve moved in and are responsible for all repairs. Many buyers have saved significantly more than the inspection cost through informed negotiations.
Most of our camera inspections take 1-2 hours depending on your pipe system’s length and complexity. We don’t rush the process because thoroughness is what gives you accurate results and prevents missed problems that could cause issues later.
We take time to navigate every accessible section of your system and explain what we’re finding as we go. Most homeowners find it interesting – you’re seeing parts of your property that have been hidden underground for decades, learning how your system actually works.
After the physical inspection, we spend additional time reviewing footage with you and preparing your detailed report with video clips and still images. You leave with complete documentation of your system’s condition, including written recommendations for any maintenance or repairs that may be needed in the future.
When our camera inspection reveals issues, we show you exactly what we’re seeing on the monitor and explain your options clearly. We discuss different approaches for addressing problems and provide honest cost estimates for each solution, from simple maintenance to more involved repairs.
We never pressure you to make immediate decisions. You receive a complete report with video evidence, so you can take time to consider your options or get additional opinions from other professionals using the same footage. This transparency helps you make the best decision for your situation and budget.
If you decide to have us handle repairs, we offer a discount on the inspection fee. Either way, you’re informed and educated about your system’s true condition, not trapped into guessing games or multiple “trial and error” attempts that waste your money and time while potentially making problems worse.
