Our Services
Your sewer line does its job quietly, buried under your yard where you never have to think about it. That changes the moment drains start to back up, or a strange smell drifts through the house. At Bighorn Plumbing, we use sewer camera inspection to show Carson City homeowners exactly what is happening inside their pipes, so there is no guessing and no unnecessary digging.
As a local, family-owned company founded by Jesse and Trebeca Itzen, we believe you deserve clear answers before you spend money on repairs. A sewer line camera inspection gives us clarity and you the peace of mind that comes from seeing the problem with your own eyes.
What to Expect During a Sewer Line Camera Inspection in Carson City
The process is simpler than most people expect. One of our plumbers starts by finding an accessible entry point, usually a cleanout near your foundation or in the yard. If your home does not have a cleanout, we can often reach the line through a toilet or roof vent.
From there, we feed a flexible cable with a waterproof, high-resolution camera into the pipe. The camera sends a live video feed to a monitor, allowing us to examine the pipe walls, joints, and connections as we move along the line. A built-in locator pinpoints the depth and position of any trouble spot, so if a repair is needed, we know precisely where to work.
We walk you through the footage as we go, explaining what we see in plain language. Most inspections take about an hour, and you will leave with a clear picture of your line’s condition and honest recommendations. When repairs are needed, we present multiple options so you can choose the one that fits your home and budget.
ELEVATING PEACE OF MIND Emergency Response
Warning Signs Your Carson City Sewer Line Needs a Closer Look
Sewer problems rarely appear overnight. Carson City’s freeze-and-thaw cycles, shifting soil, and mature trees in established neighborhoods can all put stress on underground pipes over time. Pay attention if you notice any of the following.
- Several drains are slow at the same time.
- Toilets gurgle when other fixtures run.
- Sewage odors linger indoors or outside.
- Water backs up into tubs or floor drains.
- One patch of lawn stays unusually green or soggy.
A camera inspection is also a smart move before buying a home, especially an older property near downtown Carson City, where original clay or cast iron lines may still be in service. A few minutes of video can save you from an expensive surprise after closing.
Common Problems a Sewer Line Camera Inspection Can Reveal
A camera shows us what no amount of guesswork can. During a typical inspection, we look for issues like these.
- Tree roots growing through joints and cracks.
- Grease, wipes, and debris cause stubborn clogs.
- Sagging sections that hold standing water.
- Cracked, collapsed, or offset pipes.
- Corrosion and scale inside older cast iron lines.
Northern Nevada’s hard water and cold winters add their own wear. Mineral deposits gradually narrow the inside of aging pipes, and frost movement in the soil can slowly push joints out of alignment. Catching these issues early often means a targeted repair instead of a full line replacement. Our repair-first approach means we always look for the most practical, long-lasting fix before recommending anything bigger.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Carson City?
Pricing depends on factors like access points and the length of your line. We provide an upfront price before starting, so you know exactly what to expect.
Will a sewer camera inspection damage my pipes or yard?
No. The camera travels through your existing plumbing, so there is no digging and no harm to your pipes or landscaping.
How often should I have my sewer line inspected?
Homes with older pipes or large trees nearby benefit from an inspection every few years. Newer homes can usually wait longer unless warning signs appear.
Should I get a sewer line camera inspection before buying a home?
Yes. Sewer repairs can be costly, and an inspection helps you uncover hidden problems before closing, so you can negotiate or plan.
