Sewer Scope with no power

[Christian M.]

Does anyone know of a sewer scope company in Denver that will bring their own generator? How do you usually get a sewer scope on an REO or HUD that does not have electricity turned on?

For plumbing correct? You can rent them anywhere. Alot cheaper to. Also if your main sewer line is filled with waste and water it is pointless to camera the line. You will not be able to see anything in there. You will have to rent a main sewer line machine and have it cleaned first before you camera the line if it is holding water in it.

How old is the house? Cast Iron pipes? Trees in yard?

sewer scoping is a very healthy habbit when buying a vacant house. Ive scoped drains in empty houses but im a contractor with a generator. the company doing the scope prob will not have an independant power supply. simple solution for you. Buy a power inverter for your car or truck that can handel the sewer machine and get a 4 or 5 100 ft extension cords to bring power to where you need it. keep evrything in a rubbermaid box and break it out when you need it . power inverter and cords will cost you $50-$100 but you'll always have it and can use that setup to power other inspection equipment like (lights) it its dark.
