NV Licensed #0048585A | 4.8 Stars, 76 Reviews
Red Carpet Plumbing performs video camera plumbing inspections for homes and businesses throughout Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Valley. A camera inspection lets a licensed plumber see inside sewer lines, drain pipes, and supply connections to identify blockages, root intrusion, pipe damage, and other issues without excavation.
If a drain backs up repeatedly after cleaning, the cause may be root intrusion, a pipe belly collecting waste, or a partial blockage further down the line that a snake cannot fully clear. A camera inspection identifies the exact cause and location before any additional work is done.
A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection documents the condition of the sewer line before closing. In Las Vegas, where caliche soil movement and aging sewer infrastructure are common, sewer line condition is a meaningful variable in home purchase decisions. The recorded footage can support repair negotiations if problems are found.
A camera inspection after hydro jetting or drain cleaning confirms the line is fully clear and checks for structural issues that may have been masked by the blockage.
Persistent sewer smells or slow drains throughout the house without an obvious cause often point to a crack, offset joint, or partial blockage in the main line that is not immediately visible.
Homes built before the 1990s in Las Vegas may have original clay or cast iron sewer lines. A camera inspection assesses the condition of these older materials and identifies corrosion, cracks, or root intrusion before they cause a failure.

The Las Vegas Valley combines caliche desert soil, hard water, mature desert landscaping, and older sewer infrastructure in many neighborhoods. These conditions create specific patterns of pipe stress that camera inspections are especially well suited to diagnose.
The Las Vegas Valley sits on caliche-rich desert soil that compresses and shifts unevenly as it dries and re-wets through cycles of desert heat and periodic rain. This soil movement displaces sewer lines over time, creating bellies (sags) where the pipe has dropped below the surrounding grade. Waste and water collect in these low points instead of flowing through, causing recurring clogs that drain cleaning alone will not permanently resolve. A camera inspection with a sonde locator identifies the location and depth of pipe bellies from above ground, allowing for targeted repair without unnecessary excavation.
Desert-adapted trees and shrubs including mesquite, olive trees, and some ornamental varieties have aggressive root systems that seek moisture in dry conditions. Sewer lines in Las Vegas neighborhoods with mature landscaping are a common target. Roots enter through small cracks and joint gaps, then grow inside the pipe until they partially or fully block flow. Camera inspections show root intrusion in real time and allow the plumber to assess whether hydro jetting can clear the roots or whether a structural repair is needed.
The Las Vegas residential real estate market moves quickly, and many properties for sale were built in the 1980s and 1990s when older pipe materials were still in common use. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection documents the condition of the sewer line and can identify root intrusion, pipe belly, cracked sections, or offset joints before the buyer closes. The recorded footage provides a permanent record and can support price negotiation or repair requests if problems are found. Scheduling an inspection before the due diligence period closes is the most effective timing.
Las Vegas hard water deposits calcium and magnesium scale inside drain pipes and sewer lines over time, particularly in older sections with slower flow. A camera inspection can show the extent of mineral buildup inside the line, which is useful diagnostic information when deciding between drain cleaning, pipe lining, or section replacement. Scale buildup that significantly narrows the pipe diameter is a long-term flow restriction that cleaning alone will not eliminate.
Camera inspections require equipment, access, and an experienced eye. Here is how Red Carpet Plumbing approaches a sewer or drain camera inspection in Las Vegas.
Call Red Carpet Plumbing at (702) 567-9172 and describe what you are experiencing or what you need inspected. We schedule a licensed plumber equipped with video camera inspection equipment.
The plumber accesses the sewer line or drain pipe through an existing cleanout or suitable access point. If no cleanout is available, we can discuss installation options before the inspection begins.
The waterproof camera is fed through the pipe on a flexible cable. The plumber monitors the live feed and identifies any root intrusion, blockages, pipe bellies, offset joints, cracks, or scale buildup. The sonde locator marks surface positions of any problem areas.
We walk you through what the camera found, explain the condition of the line, and recommend the appropriate next steps, whether that is drain cleaning, targeted repair, or continued monitoring. You have the information needed to make a confident decision.

Learn MoreA sewer camera inspection shows the inside condition of your sewer line or drain pipe in real time. The camera can identify root intrusion from trees seeking moisture inside the pipe, pipe bellies or sags where waste collects and causes repeated clogs, offset or separated pipe joints from soil movement, cracked or collapsed pipe sections, hard water scale or grease buildup narrowing the line, and foreign object blockages. The footage provides a clear diagnosis before any repair decision is made.
A camera inspection is useful when drain cleaning does not fully resolve a recurring clog, when you want to confirm a drain line is clear after cleaning, when you are experiencing unexplained sewer odors or slow drains throughout the house, before buying a home to document the sewer line condition, when a plumber suspects root intrusion or pipe damage, or after a plumbing repair to confirm the work resolved the problem. In Las Vegas, where caliche soil and mature landscaping create specific pipe stress conditions, camera inspections are a practical diagnostic step for homes with older sewer lines.
A standard sewer camera inspection typically takes thirty minutes to one hour for a single line, depending on the length of the line, the presence of obstructions, and the access point available. If a cleanout is not already installed, additional time may be needed to establish access. Red Carpet Plumbing can provide an accurate time estimate when you call to schedule.
Yes. Root intrusion is one of the most common findings in sewer camera inspections throughout Las Vegas. Desert trees including mesquite, olive, and some ornamental trees send roots into sewer lines seeking moisture, and those roots can partially or fully block the line over time. A camera inspection shows the location and extent of root intrusion so the plumber can recommend the appropriate clearing or repair approach.
Yes. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection documents the condition of the sewer line before closing and can identify root intrusion, pipe belly, cracked sections, or offset joints that would otherwise be unknown. In Las Vegas, caliche soil movement and aging sewer infrastructure in neighborhoods built before the 1990s make sewer line condition a meaningful variable in home purchase decisions. The recorded footage can also support repair negotiations if problems are found.
No. A video camera inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic process. The camera is inserted through an existing cleanout access point and fed through the pipe. No excavation is needed for the inspection itself. If a cleanout is not available, a plumber may need to install one to gain access. Clark County recommends two-way cleanouts for sewer line maintenance access, and one can be added as part of the inspection service if needed.
A pipe belly is a section of sewer line that has sagged below the surrounding grade, creating a low point where waste and water collect instead of flowing through. In Las Vegas, caliche soil and uneven desert ground conditions contribute to pipe belly formation, particularly in older sewer lines. A camera inspection shows these low spots in real time, and the sonde locator can mark the surface position of the sag for targeted repair.
