Hear From Our Clients
You’re dealing with slow drains, backups, or mystery plumbing issues. The last thing you want is someone telling you what might be wrong and charging you to find out.
Our camera inspection eliminates the guesswork. You see the actual problem on a monitor in real-time. Root intrusion, pipe damage, blockages, cracks—whatever’s causing your headache becomes crystal clear.
No more surprise charges for “exploratory” work. No more digging up your yard to hunt for problems. You get answers first, then decide what makes sense for your property and budget.
We’ve been solving sewer and drain problems for Wainscott families since 1998. We’re the local company that understands how coastal conditions, seasonal properties, and Suffolk County regulations affect your system.
Unlike the big chains, we’re family-owned and rooted right here in the community. We know Wainscott’s flat landscape, the challenges with properties near potato fields and ocean dunes, and the environmental sensitivities that come with living this close to water sources.
When your neighbor recommends us, it’s because we’ve earned that trust through honest work and fair pricing. No runaround, no overselling—just straight answers about what you’re dealing with.
We start by inserting a high-definition waterproof camera into your sewer line through an access point. The flexible cable navigates through your pipes, capturing live video footage that shows up on our monitor.
You watch alongside our technician as we travel through your system. When we reach problem areas—whether it’s root intrusion, pipe damage, or blockages—you see exactly what we’re seeing. No trust-us-on-this explanations.
The camera records the depth and location of any issues, so if repairs are needed, we know precisely where to work. You get a complete picture of your system’s condition, plus a clear understanding of your options moving forward.

Every camera inspection includes real-time video footage, precise location mapping of any problems, and a recorded copy for your records. We inspect pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter, covering everything from bathroom drains to main sewer lines.
For Wainscott properties, this service is especially valuable given our unique coastal environment. Older homes often have clay or cast iron pipes that are vulnerable to root intrusion and shifting soil conditions. Seasonal properties may develop issues during vacancy periods that go unnoticed until they become serious problems.
Whether you’re buying a home, dealing with recurring backups, or planning renovations, our camera inspection gives you the information you need to make smart decisions about your property’s plumbing system.
Most camera inspections take between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system’s size and condition. For a typical Wainscott home, we’re usually done within 45 minutes.
The process moves quickly because we’re not digging or dismantling anything. We simply feed the camera through your existing access points and follow the line. If we find problems, we may spend extra time documenting their exact location and extent, but you’ll know what’s happening every step of the way.
Yes, we inspect both cesspool and septic systems throughout Wainscott and Suffolk County. Our equipment handles the full range of residential waste management systems common in this area.
Many Wainscott properties rely on cesspools or septic systems rather than municipal sewer connections. Our cameras can navigate through the various components of these systems, from distribution boxes to leach fields, giving you a complete picture of how everything’s functioning. This is particularly important for seasonal properties where problems can develop unnoticed.
Our cameras identify virtually any issue inside your pipes: root intrusion, cracks, collapsed sections, grease buildup, foreign objects, pipe misalignment, and deteriorating pipe walls. We also spot leaks and areas where water infiltration is occurring.
For Wainscott properties, root intrusion is especially common given our tree-lined streets and mature landscaping. The coastal environment can also cause soil shifting that affects pipe alignment. Whatever’s causing your drainage problems, the camera will reveal it clearly so you can address the actual issue rather than guessing.
Absolutely, especially in Wainscott where many homes rely on private sewer systems. Standard home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation, leaving you vulnerable to expensive surprises after closing.
A camera inspection reveals the true condition of the property’s waste management system. You might discover that the “minor drain issue” mentioned by the seller is actually a collapsed main line requiring thousands in repairs. Or you might find the system is in excellent condition, giving you peace of mind about your investment. Either way, you’re making an informed decision.
Camera inspection pricing varies based on your system’s complexity and the extent of inspection needed. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so there are no surprises.
Many customers find that the inspection cost is minimal compared to the money they save by avoiding unnecessary repairs or excavation. When you know exactly what’s wrong and where, repairs become more targeted and cost-effective. We’re happy to discuss pricing when you call, and we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts for qualifying customers.
Yes, our cameras have successfully located jewelry, toys, and other valuable items that have fallen down drains. The high-definition footage shows us exactly where items have settled in your system.
Once we locate the item, we can determine the best retrieval method—whether that’s using specialized tools, accessing the line at a specific point, or coordinating the recovery with other plumbing work. Many customers are amazed when we recover items they thought were lost forever, especially sentimental pieces like wedding rings or family heirlooms.
