Sewer Line Inspection with $30 WIFI/USB endoscope camera
« on: November 27, 2019, 08:57:23 PM »
Installed the app on the iphone for it, tie wrapped to 1/4" plumbing snake .. saw the camera image live on iphone.  Turns out our pipes were fine.  Saved $220 -- plumber wanted $250.

How long is the snake? I need minimum 100 feet.

This is the one I bought it is 5.5 meters -- i.e. 18 feet.  (Had a clean out near the concerned area fortunately).

Yeah, not worth it to me to buy the equipment to inspect my lines. I'm more worried about the outside the house stuff, and for the one line I'm thinking of that's a good 150 feet from start to finish. I'll just support a small business.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
