See Inside Your Pipes Without Digging in Reno, NV
The kitchen sink backs up for the third time this month, and this time the drain cleaner does nothing. You snake it, you plunge it, and within a day the water is pooling again. Somewhere down that line there is a problem you cannot see, and guessing at it only wastes time and money.
That is where we come in. Legacy Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical has been solving hidden plumbing problems for homeowners since 1999, and a camera inspection is often the fastest way to find out exactly what is wrong. Give us a call at (725) 253-2522 and we will send a plumber out to look inside your pipes instead of tearing into a wall on a hunch.
How Our Camera Inspections Work
A camera inspection uses a small, flexible camera fed directly into your plumbing lines. It shows us the inside of the pipe in real time, so we can pinpoint a blockage, a break, a root intrusion, or a section of corroded pipe without any digging or demolition. And once we know the location and the cause, the repair becomes a straightforward job rather than a guessing game.
Here in Reno, this kind of diagnosis matters more than people expect. Homes in older parts of the city, from the Old Southwest to neighborhoods near the University of Nevada, often have aging sewer lines that have shifted over decades. The high desert soil around Washoe County is arid and full of sagebrush root systems that push toward any moisture they can find, and those roots love to work their way into a cracked pipe. A camera inspection in Reno, NV catches all of that before it turns into a flooded basement or a collapsed line.
Winters here add another wrinkle. Sitting in a basin at roughly 4,500 feet with the Sierra Nevada to the west, Reno gets real freezing temperatures and freeze risk. A hairline crack from a hard freeze is nearly impossible to find from the outside, but a camera finds it in minutes.
What Our Plumbers Can Diagnose with Camera Inspections
Here is what a camera inspection helps us catch:
- Root intrusion from trees and desert shrubs
- Cracks, breaks, and offset pipe joints
- Grease and debris buildup causing slow drains
- Corrosion in older metal piping
- Bellied or sagging sections that trap waste
- Objects lodged in the line
- The exact location of a leak before any repair begins
