When your drains run slow or smell funky, you need answers—not expensive trial-and-error repairs. Our camera inspection gives you a clear view of what’s actually wrong with your pipes, so you can make smart decisions about repairs.
You’ll watch on our screen as we identify cracks, blockages, root intrusions, and pipe damage in real-time. No more wondering if that contractor’s estimate is accurate or if you really need those expensive repairs. You see the problem yourself.
This isn’t just about fixing today’s issue. Camera inspection prevents the $8,000 to $25,000 surprise that hits when sewer lines fail without warning. One inspection can save you years of headaches.
We’ve been serving West Bay Shore families since 1998. We’re not some out-of-town company trying to figure out Long Island soil conditions on your dime—we know exactly how Suffolk County’s clay pipes, shifting soil, and coastal root growth affect your drainage.
While other companies start digging holes hoping to find problems, we use our 25+ years of local experience to target inspections precisely. We understand which pipe materials were used in different West Bay Shore neighborhoods and what problems to expect.
Our family has built a reputation on honest work and fair prices. Three generations of Suffolk County service means your satisfaction protects our local reputation—which is why we get it right the first time.
Our camera inspection process is straightforward and completely non-invasive. We insert a waterproof, high-resolution camera on a flexible cable into your sewer or drain line through existing access points—no digging required.
The camera travels through your entire pipe system, transmitting real-time video to our monitor. You can watch along as we navigate through your pipes, identifying the exact location and cause of problems. Whether it’s tree roots from those beautiful West Bay Shore oaks or cracks in aging clay pipes, you’ll see it all.
After the inspection, we’ll walk you through exactly what we found and explain your options clearly. If repairs are needed, we’ll tell you what’s absolutely necessary versus what can wait. No pressure tactics, no inflated estimates—just honest assessment based on what the camera revealed.

Every camera inspection includes a complete video recording that you keep for your records. This documentation proves invaluable for real estate transactions, insurance claims, or planning future maintenance. Banks and lenders often require this documentation for properties with septic systems.
Our equipment inspects pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter, covering everything from your main sewer line to individual drain connections. We can navigate through the tight bends and multiple pipe materials common in West Bay Shore’s older homes.
Many West Bay Shore properties have a mix of original clay pipes, upgraded cast iron sections, and newer PVC connections. Our camera inspection identifies each material type and shows you which sections need immediate attention versus those that can wait. This helps you prioritize repairs and budget realistically based on actual conditions, not scare tactics.
Residential camera inspections in West Bay Shore typically cost $200 to $400, depending on your pipe length and system accessibility. This small investment can save you thousands by identifying problems before they become disasters.
Consider this: sewer line replacement in Suffolk County runs $8,000 to $25,000. Many of our customers tell us their inspection paid for itself by helping them avoid unnecessary repairs or negotiate better home purchase prices. One customer saved $15,000 by discovering the “emergency” repair another company quoted wasn’t actually needed.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprise charges, no hidden fees—just honest pricing for thorough inspection service.
Absolutely, especially in West Bay Shore where many homes have older septic systems. Standard home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation because inspectors can’t see what’s happening underground—but that’s where the expensive problems hide.
We work regularly with real estate agents and buyers throughout Suffolk County. Our inspection reports either give you negotiating power for repair costs or peace of mind that the system is solid. Either way, you win.
Banks increasingly require video inspection documentation for properties with septic systems, so getting this done early prevents closing delays. Don’t gamble with the biggest purchase of your life—know what you’re buying.
Most residential inspections take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your system size and complexity. We work efficiently while being thorough—you get complete results without losing your whole day.
The process is completely clean and non-invasive. No digging up your landscaping, no moving furniture, no mess. We access your system through existing cleanouts or access points that are already there.
You get immediate results since we see problems in real-time on our monitor. No waiting days for reports or follow-up appointments—you’ll know exactly what’s going on before we leave your property.
Our cameras identify all the common problems we see in West Bay Shore: tree root intrusion from mature landscaping, cracks in aging clay pipes, collapsed sections from soil shifting, grease buildup, and foreign object blockages. We also spot channeling in older pipes where waste flows through grooves while debris clogs the rest.
Root intrusion is especially common here because of West Bay Shore’s beautiful mature trees and the clay pipe systems installed decades ago. The camera shows exactly where roots entered, how extensive the damage is, and whether cleaning will solve it or if you need pipe replacement.
We also identify pipe material transitions, joint separations, and sections that shifted due to Suffolk County’s soil conditions. These are all common issues that cause problems if left unaddressed, but are easily managed when caught early.
Not at all. Camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes, landscaping, or property. Our waterproof cameras are specifically designed for pipe inspection and are much gentler than traditional cleaning or repair methods.
The flexible cable easily navigates through bends and joints without scraping or damaging pipe walls. Unlike excavation or high-pressure cleaning, there’s zero risk of pipe damage from the inspection itself.
Your beautiful West Bay Shore landscaping, driveway, and home interior remain completely untouched. We access your system through existing cleanouts, so there’s no digging, no property damage, and no cleanup required when we’re finished.
Yes, and camera inspection is actually one of our most valuable emergency tools. When you have a backup, we can quickly determine whether it’s a simple blockage we can clear, root intrusion requiring mechanical removal, or serious pipe failure needing immediate replacement.
This saves you time and money by using the right solution immediately instead of trying multiple approaches that might not work. During emergencies, knowing exactly what’s wrong helps us resolve problems faster and prevents situations from getting worse.
Emergency camera inspections also identify underlying problems that caused the backup, so we can address those issues and prevent you from dealing with the same emergency again in six months. It’s about solving the real problem, not just treating symptoms.
