What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection / Video Pipe Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection (video pipe inspection) is a diagnostic service where we:
Access your sewer or drain line through a cleanout or other access point
Insert a flexible rod with a high-resolution camera head into the pipe
Record video while we push the camera through the line
Look for roots, breaks, offsets, sags (bellies), corrosion, buildup, and foreign objects
Mark locations and depths of trouble spots when needed for repair planning
This allows you to see inside your pipes and base decisions on what’s actually there—not just on symptoms or assumptions.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Diagnostic first mindset: We use cameras to diagnose and explain, not just to sell repairs.
Experienced line readers: We know how to tell the difference between normal aging and true problem areas.
Repair + replacement knowledge: If the line is bad, we can clearly explain spot repair, full replacement, or lining options.
Homeowner, buyer, and manager friendly: We explain findings in plain language and can coordinate with buyers, sellers, and property managers.
Trusted local company: Nevada License #0047021, serving the Las Vegas valley since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Make note of which fixtures back up, how often, and under what conditions (laundry, showers, heavy rain, etc.).
Gather any previous plumbing invoices that mention “roots,” “bellies,” or “broken pipe” so we can compare history.
If you’re in escrow or planning a major remodel, confirm your inspection deadlines and timelines.
Avoid approving major sewer work if nobody has actually camera-inspected and shown you the line, unless it’s an emergency.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for sewer camera inspection / video pipe inspection, and tell us if this is for recurring problems, a real estate purchase, or pre-repair verification.
Common Situations Where Sewer Camera Inspection Helps
Recurring main line clogs or backups at the lowest fixtures in the home
Sewage odors near drains, in yards, or around cleanouts
Buying an older home and wanting to check the sewer line before closing
Planning remodels, additions, or ADUs that will add plumbing load
Evaluating quotes for sewer replacement or lining, to confirm what’s needed
Documenting line condition for HOAs, property managers, or insurance
If you keep fixing the same sewer problem without knowing why, or you’re about to spend serious money on repairs or a home purchase, a camera inspection is often the smartest next step.
Call & Situation Review
You call (702) 438-3357 and tell us what’s going on—recurring clogs, odors, real estate sale, or proposals for major work. We schedule a visit and note any time-sensitive deadlines (like escrow close dates).
Access Point & Pre-Inspection Check
On site, we locate a suitable cleanout or access point to your sewer or drain line. If the line is currently blocked, we may recommend initial cleaning so the camera can pass through. We explain what we’ll be inspecting and where.
Camera Insertion & Live Inspection
We insert the video camera into the line and advance it slowly, watching in real time as we move through the pipe. We note any roots, cracks, offsets, bellies, heavy buildup, or intrusions, and may run water to see flow behavior.
Locate & Mark Key Problem Areas
When we spot an issue, we can locate it from above using a locator device (where applicable), allowing us to mark its approximate position and depth. This is extremely useful for planning repairs, replacements, or spot fixes.
Review Findings & Discuss Options
After the inspection, we review what we saw in plain language—where the line looks good, where it’s compromised, and what that means. We discuss options such as ongoing cleaning, spot repair, full replacement, or lining, and when each makes sense.
Documentation & Follow-Up
We can provide notes and, where arranged, video or snapshots of the inspection. For real estate, HOAs, or property managers, we can summarize condition and recommended next steps so you can compare bids or plan projects confidently.
What’s Included
Scope can vary, but a typical sewer camera inspection / video pipe inspection may include:
On-site review of symptoms, history, and goals (repair, purchase, or general health check)
Locating and using an appropriate access point (cleanout or similar) for the camera
Video inspection of the sewer or drain line within the agreed length and access limits
Identification and description of key issues—roots, breaks, offsets, bellies, buildup, or intrusions
Basic location and depth marking of major defects (where applicable and requested)
Verbal summary and recommendations for cleaning, monitoring, repair, or replacement
(Drain cleaning to clear blockages so the camera can pass is typically a separate, but related, service.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many sewer camera inspections can be scheduled and completed in a single visit, depending on access and line length.
You’ll receive upfront pricing for the camera inspection, plus any additional cost if line cleaning is required before the camera can pass.
Costs vary with line length, number of access points, and whether locating/marking is requested along the route.
If we identify issues requiring repair, replacement, or lining, we can provide separate estimates so you can compare options and plan your budget.
Insurance & Claims Help
A video record of your sewer line can be valuable in certain insurance or property situations:
We can document sudden vs long-term issues (for example, a clear break vs gradual root intrusion or settling).
Documentation can help in discussions with insurance adjusters, property managers, or HOAs about responsibility and next steps.
Pre- and post-repair camera inspections can help verify work and condition when major projects are completed.
(Coverage decisions and claim outcomes are always up to your insurer and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Wasted money on guesswork: Repeated drain cleanings without understanding the cause can add up quickly.
Over- or under-scoping repairs: Without a camera, you might replace too much pipe—or not enough.
Hidden property damage risk: Undiagnosed bellies, breaks, or intrusions can lead to sudden, severe backups and damage.
Real estate surprises: Buying a property without checking the sewer line can lead to big repair bills after closing.
Disputes without evidence: Without video, it’s harder to prove the condition of the line when disputes arise.
A camera inspection often pays for itself by preventing bad decisions and unnecessary work.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Professional-grade camera systems: We use sewer-rated video equipment, not low-end gadgets.
Proper access techniques: We focus on safe, code-appropriate access points and may recommend cleanout installation if access is poor.
Trained interpretation: We don’t just show you a video—we interpret what you’re seeing in understandable terms.
Location services: Where needed, we can locate and mark key problem areas from above ground.
Transparent recommendations: We explain all reasonable options—from monitoring and cleaning to spot repair or full replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to clean the line before a camera inspection?
If the line is heavily blocked, yes—the camera can’t see through solid waste or severe obstructions. Often we’ll clear the line first, then inspect.
How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Most inspections are completed within a standard service visit, depending on access and how long the line is.
Can I get a copy of the video?
In many cases, yes. Let us know upfront if you’d like a copy or specific documentation (especially for real estate or property management).
Will a camera inspection fix my clog?
No—it’s diagnostic. Drain cleaning clears clogs, while camera inspection shows why they’re happening and where.
Can you inspect every single pipe in my house?
We primarily inspect main sewer lines and some larger branch lines, where access and conditions allow. Small fixture drains are usually not camera-inspected unless there’s a specific reason and proper access.
