Most companies will tell you what they think is wrong. We show you.
Our camera goes into your pipes and records everything—cracks, roots, clogs, collapses. You get the footage on a USB drive with foot-by-foot measurements so you know the exact location of any issue. No more paying for exploratory digs or repairs that don’t fix the actual problem.
This matters in Shoreham because most properties here run on cesspools or septic systems, not municipal sewer. That means when something goes wrong underground, you’re responsible. And if you’re buying or selling a home, lenders often require proof that your system is functional. A video inspection gives you that proof—or tells you what needs fixing before closing day.
Real-time clog detection means we’re not guessing based on symptoms. We’re looking directly at the pipe condition and telling you what we see. If there’s a blockage, we know what caused it. If there’s damage, we know how bad it is. You make decisions based on facts, not estimates.
We’ve been doing this for nearly two decades. We’re a family-owned business—four generations deep—and we’ve built our reputation on being straight with people.
Shoreham sits in Suffolk County, where roughly 250,000 properties rely on cesspools and another 100,000 use septic systems. That’s a lot of underground infrastructure that most people never think about until something breaks. We’ve seen it all—root intrusions, collapsed pipes, illegal connections, systems that were installed wrong from day one.
We’re licensed, insured, and we use professional-grade equipment. Our camera systems provide thermal imaging, real-time video, and digital footage you can review anytime. We’re available 24/7 because pipe problems don’t wait for business hours.
We start by locating your cleanout or access point. Then we feed a waterproof camera attached to a flexible line into your sewer line or cesspool system.
As the camera moves through your pipes, it records everything. We’re looking for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, bellied pipes, or any structural damage. The camera has a built-in locator so we can mark the exact depth and location of any problem—down to the foot.
You can watch the inspection in real time if you want. We’ll walk you through what we’re seeing and explain what it means. At the end, you get a USB drive with the full video and a report that includes measurements and our assessment.
If we find an issue, we’ll tell you what it’ll take to fix it. If your system looks good, you’ll have documentation proving it—useful for insurance, real estate transactions, or just your own peace of mind. The whole process usually takes under an hour, and we don’t have to dig unless we’re actually doing a repair.
Ready to get started?
Every camera inspection includes full video documentation with foot counter measurements, so you know exactly where any issue is located underground. You’re not getting a verbal summary—you’re getting the actual footage on a USB card you can keep, share with contractors, or show to your insurance company.
We also provide a written report that breaks down what we found, where we found it, and what it means for your system. If there’s damage, we’ll tell you how urgent it is. If it’s a simple clog, we’ll let you know if we can clear it or if there’s a bigger issue causing repeat backups.
This matters in Shoreham because Suffolk County has tightened cesspool and septic regulations significantly. Since 2019, you can’t just replace an old cesspool with another cesspool—new installations have to meet modern standards. If you’re dealing with a failing system, a camera inspection shows you exactly what you’re working with before you spend money on repairs or replacements.
Locating underground pipe leaks or damage without digging saves you thousands. And if you’re in the middle of a real estate transaction, having video proof of your system’s condition can speed up closing or help you negotiate repairs with the seller.
Most camera inspections run between $300 and $500 depending on the length of the line and accessibility. That’s a fraction of what you’d pay for a repair based on guesswork.
If we find a problem, the inspection cost often gets rolled into the repair. And if we don’t find anything, you’ve got documentation proving your system is in good shape—which is worth it for real estate transactions, insurance claims, or just knowing you’re not sitting on a ticking time bomb.
Some companies will try to upsell you on repairs you don’t need. We show you the footage and let you decide. If it’s not broken, we’re not going to tell you to fix it.
Most lenders and buyers in Suffolk County require a cesspool or septic inspection before closing. A camera inspection provides the documentation they’re looking for—and it protects you from surprises during the sale process.
If there’s an issue, it’s better to know before you list the property. You can either fix it or disclose it, but either way you’re not scrambling at the last minute when a buyer’s inspector flags something. We’ve seen deals fall apart because a system failed inspection and the seller had no idea there was a problem.
A clean inspection also gives buyers confidence. It’s one less thing they’ll try to negotiate down on price, and it shows you’ve maintained the property.
We can see clogs, root intrusion, cracks, collapsed sections, bellied pipes, corrosion, illegal connections, and improper installations. Basically, if it’s happening inside your pipe, the camera will catch it.
Root intrusion is common in Shoreham because a lot of properties have mature trees. Roots grow into pipes through tiny cracks and then expand, causing blockages or breaks. A camera shows us exactly where the roots are and how bad the intrusion is.
We also catch issues like bellied pipes—sections that have sunk or shifted, creating low spots where waste collects and clogs form. You might have a recurring backup that no amount of snaking will fix because the real problem is the pipe’s position, not a blockage. The camera tells us that.
Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the length of your sewer line and what we find. If your system is straightforward and there are no major issues, we’re usually done in under an hour.
If we do find a problem, we’ll take extra time to document it thoroughly—getting clear footage, marking the location, and making sure we understand what’s causing it. You’re not paying for speed; you’re paying for accuracy.
We’ll schedule a time that works for you, and we’ll let you know upfront how long we expect it to take. If something comes up that extends the job, we’ll explain why before we continue.
It can’t prevent problems, but it catches them early—which is the next best thing. A small crack today becomes a collapsed pipe next year. A minor root intrusion becomes a full blockage. Catching issues before they escalate saves you money and stress.
We recommend inspections every few years if you’ve got an older system, or if you’ve had recurring backups or slow drains. A lot of homeowners wait until there’s a crisis, and by then the damage is done. An inspection gives you a baseline so you know what’s normal for your system and what’s changing over time.
If you’re in Shoreham and your property is on a cesspool or septic system, regular inspections are cheap insurance. Suffolk County is cracking down on failing systems because of environmental concerns, and the last thing you want is to be forced into an expensive replacement because you ignored warning signs.
We’ll show you the footage, explain what we’re looking at, and give you a realistic assessment of what it’ll take to fix it. You’ll know whether it’s urgent or something you can plan for down the road.
If it’s a repair we can handle, we’ll give you an upfront estimate with no hidden fees. If it’s something that requires excavation or a full system replacement, we’ll walk you through your options and what Suffolk County regulations require. We’re not going to pressure you into anything—you’ll have the information you need to make the right call.
Some problems can be fixed with spot repairs or pipe lining. Others require digging and replacing sections. The camera footage gives us enough detail to recommend the most cost-effective solution, not just the easiest one for us.
