You’re not looking to waste money on repairs you don’t need. A sewer line video inspection gives you actual footage of what’s inside your pipes—cracks, blockages, root intrusions, whatever’s there. You see it in real time, and you get a recording to keep.
That matters in Bohemia, where most homes were built in the 1970s and clay pipes are reaching the end of their 50-60 year lifespan. Add in mature trees with aggressive root systems and sandy soil that seeps into every crack, and you’ve got a recipe for problems that don’t announce themselves until sewage backs up into your basement.
Camera inspections let you catch issues early. You get a clear pipe condition assessment before small cracks become expensive emergencies. No digging required to figure out what’s wrong. Just a flexible waterproof camera that travels through pipes from 2 to 36 inches in diameter and shows you exactly where the problem is—and how serious it actually is.
We’ve served Bohemia homeowners for over a decade. We’re licensed, insured, and family-owned—not a franchise that rotates through different techs every visit.
Our team knows what Long Island soil does to sewer lines. We know the tree species that cause the most root damage and the warning signs homeowners miss until it’s too late. When you’re dealing with a $506,000 median home value in Bohemia, you want someone who understands what’s at stake.
We use state-of-the-art camera equipment and give you digital footage and reporting you can reference later. If you need repairs, you’ll know exactly what needs fixing and why. If your pipes are fine, you’ll have peace of mind and documentation to prove it.
We start by locating your cleanout access point—usually a capped pipe in your yard or basement. From there, we feed a flexible camera line into your sewer system. The camera head has its own light source and transmits live video back to our monitor.
You can watch the footage with us as we move through your pipes. We’re looking for cracks, root intrusions, blockages, corrosion, misaligned joints, and anything else that could cause problems. The camera also has a locator that sends a signal we can detect above ground, so if we find damage, we know exactly where it is without guessing or digging exploratory holes.
The whole process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on your system’s length and complexity. You get a recorded copy of the inspection with time stamps and a written assessment. If we find issues, we’ll explain what they mean, what your options are, and what happens if you wait versus addressing them now. No pressure, just information.

You get a complete visual inspection of your sewer line from your home to the street connection or septic tank. That includes real-time clog detection, identification of root intrusions, assessment of pipe material and condition, and precise location mapping of any problems we find.
In Bohemia, where sandy soil and mature landscaping create unique challenges, this service is especially valuable. We’re not just looking for obvious blockages—we’re checking for early-stage cracks that let sand infiltrate your system, root tips that haven’t caused full blockages yet, and sections of pipe that are deteriorating but haven’t failed completely.
You also get documentation. The recorded footage is yours to keep, along with our written report. That’s useful if you’re buying or selling a home, planning renovations, or just want a baseline to compare against in a few years. And if repairs are needed, you’re not relying on a contractor’s word—you have video evidence of exactly what’s wrong and where it’s located.
The inspection also helps you avoid unnecessary expenses. Plenty of homeowners have been told they need a full line replacement when the actual problem is a single cracked section or a root ball that can be cleared. Locating underground pipe leaks and damage precisely means you only fix what actually needs fixing.
Most camera inspections in the Bohemia area run between $220 and $350, depending on the length of your sewer line and accessibility. If your line runs an unusual distance from your house to the street, or if there are complications accessing your cleanout, the price may be higher.
Emergency inspections outside normal business hours typically add $150 to $300 to the base cost. But here’s the thing—that inspection fee often gets credited toward repair costs if you move forward with work. So you’re not paying twice.
Compared to the cost of guessing wrong or dealing with an emergency backup, it’s a small investment. Standard sewer repairs can run anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on what’s damaged and where. Knowing exactly what you’re dealing with before anyone starts digging can save you thousands.
A camera inspection catches most issues that affect sewer lines: cracks and breaks in the pipe, tree root intrusions, blockages from grease or debris, corrosion, misaligned or separated joints, collapsed sections, and bellies where the pipe has settled and creates a low spot that collects waste.
In Bohemia specifically, we see a lot of root damage from mature oaks and maples, plus sand infiltration through cracks in aging clay pipes. Both problems start small and get worse over time. The camera picks them up before they become emergencies.
The inspection also shows us what kind of pipe material you have—clay, cast iron, PVC, or a mix. That matters because different materials fail in different ways and have different lifespans. Clay and cast iron are more vulnerable to root penetration. PVC is more resistant but can still crack if the ground shifts. Knowing what you’re working with helps you plan ahead.
If you’re buying a home in Bohemia, yes—especially if it was built before 1980. Most problems don’t announce themselves until they’re serious. A small crack that’s letting roots in or sand infiltrate won’t cause symptoms for months or even years. By the time you notice slow drains or backups, the damage is often extensive.
For existing homeowners, it depends on your situation. If you have mature trees near your sewer line, if your home is over 40 years old, or if you’ve had recurring drain issues, an inspection gives you a baseline. You’ll know if you’re looking at a minor issue you can monitor or a bigger problem that needs attention soon.
Regular inspections also make sense if you’re planning major landscaping or home additions. You don’t want to discover a failing sewer line halfway through a project. And if you’re selling, having recent inspection footage showing a clear line can be a selling point—or at least prevent surprises during the buyer’s inspection.
Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. That includes setup, running the camera through your entire line, reviewing footage with you, and answering questions.
If we find significant blockages or damage, it might take a bit longer to document everything thoroughly and pinpoint exact locations. If your sewer line is unusually long or has multiple access points we need to check, that adds time too.
You’re welcome to watch the live feed with us as we go. A lot of homeowners prefer that because they can ask questions in real time and see exactly what we’re talking about. Others just want the final report and recorded footage. Either way works.
No. The camera is designed specifically for this purpose—it’s flexible, waterproof, and smooth. It doesn’t scrape or force its way through your pipes. We’re just feeding it through the line and pulling it back out.
If your pipes are already severely damaged or collapsed, the camera might not be able to get past that point, but it won’t cause additional damage. In fact, if we can’t get the camera through a section, that tells us something important about the condition of your line.
The inspection is completely non-invasive. We’re not digging, not using high-pressure water, not introducing chemicals. Just a camera on a flexible line that travels through your existing sewer system and shows us what’s there. It’s one of the safest diagnostic tools available for underground pipes.
We show you the footage, explain what we’re seeing, and walk you through your options. If it’s a minor issue—like a small root intrusion that can be cleared with hydro jetting—we’ll tell you that. If it’s a cracked section that needs repair or replacement, we’ll explain what that involves and give you an accurate estimate based on the exact location and extent of damage.
You’re not obligated to move forward with repairs through us, though most customers do because we’ve already diagnosed the problem and know exactly where it is. The inspection footage and report are yours regardless. You can get second opinions, wait and monitor the situation, or schedule repairs when it fits your timeline and budget.
What you won’t get from us is pressure or scare tactics. If your pipes are in decent shape, we’ll tell you that too. The goal is to give you accurate information so you can make informed decisions about your property. That’s it.
