Sewage backing into your home is a Category 3 biohazard situation that needs to stop. But the right long-term fix β clearing, trenchless lining, or excavation β depends on what's causing it. Masters Plumbing Service uses CCTV cameras in Ely to find out exactly what you're dealing with before any repair recommendation is made.

The repair method β clearing, lining, or digging β should follow from specific failure documentation. We show you that footage before you sign anything.
No legitimate contractor recommends trenchless lining or excavation without camera footage confirming the failure type and location. If someone quotes a sewer repair without a scope, that's a significant red flag.
Trenchless lining costs significantly less than excavation in most scenarios and preserves landscaping, driveways, and hardscape. Not every sewer failure qualifies β we tell you honestly when it does and when it doesn't.
Precise camera locating means we dig where the problem is, not speculatively. Post-repair camera confirms grade and joint quality before we close out.
Sewer line repair in most NV jurisdictions requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and provide camera footage, repair documentation, and inspection sign-off as a complete job record.
From a simple root clearing to full trenchless lining or spot excavation, our sewer crew in Ely, NV has the equipment and certification to execute.
Tree roots enter sewer lines at joint gaps and grow into substantial obstructions that can completely block flow. Our electric root cutter β a bladed head on a sectional cable machine β cuts root masses back to the pipe wall, restoring full pipe diameter. We follow with a CCTV re-scope to confirm clearance.

CIPP lining installs a flexible epoxy-saturated felt liner inside the existing pipe. Inflated against the host pipe and cured with hot water or steam, the result is a new, jointless pipe inside the old one β rated for 50+ years of service life.
When pipe sections have fully collapsed, when the pipe grade has reversed (creating a belly that holds standing sewage), or when root intrusion is too severe for lining, traditional excavation is correct. We locate the defect precisely on camera, mark the excavation footprint, call for utility locates, and dig to the pipe depth.
A standalone camera inspection β without clearing or repair β is useful for pre-purchase due diligence, insurance documentation, or understanding why a drain is performing poorly. We run the camera, record footage with distance markers, and provide a written scope report.

Active sewage backup into a structure is an emergency requiring immediate response. We dispatch, clear the blockage to restore drain function, document the affected area, and schedule the camera scope to assess underlying cause β same-day or at the earliest opportunity.
A maintenance record documenting each cleaning and camera finding is useful evidence for insurance claims and demonstrates proactive maintenance if a catastrophic failure occurs.
Here's how a Masters Plumbing Service sewer line call plays out in Ely, NV.
If sewage is actively backing up, we dispatch immediately. If it's a recurring slow drain situation or a pre-purchase scope request, we schedule the earliest available slot. Either way, the first on-site action is accessing the cleanout.
You watch the footage with the technician. We point out each observation and explain what it means for repair options before presenting any quote.
For trenchless vs. excavation decisions, we lay out cost difference, disruption difference, and long-term outcome expectation for each option so you can make an informed choice.
Required permits are closed out with the local inspection. You receive camera footage, written scope report, permit inspection sign-off, and warranty documentation.
Had a sewer problem that two other companies cleared without scoping. It backed up again within 8 weeks both times. Masters Plumbing Service scoped before doing anything and found a significant pipe belly at 34 feet holding standing water β that's why clearing kept failing. They excavated precisely, replaced a 4-foot section, confirmed grade on camera after backfill. No recurrence.
Pre-purchase scope. Tech ran the camera, gave clear narration on footage, and identified that the main cast iron line had interior corrosion narrowing the pipe to about 60% of original diameter. Used that report to request the sellers replace the line β and they did.
Tree roots had invaded our sewer line every year for six years. Annual clearing costs were adding up. Masters Plumbing Service scoped, confirmed the root entry points, and lined the 70-foot residential run. No roots at the 18-month re-scope. The liner sealed every joint the roots had been using.

Our sewer technicians cover Ely and the broader Ely, NV service area with the full range of camera, clearing, and repair services.
Knowledge of local pipe infrastructure β clay tile age, cast iron condition, CSST usage β helps our Ely sewer crew arrive prepared for what the camera is likely to show.

Don't pay for a clearing that won't hold, or an excavation quote based on guesswork. Masters Plumbing Service scopes first in Ely, NV so you know exactly what you're repairing before you spend anything.
