With what? A garden hose, numerous 5 gallon buckets or something else?

Don't know for sure what we should be doing though, that's why I brought it up on the forum! Thanks, Paul-Marc |

My reports recommend an annual cleaning and maintenance of all garage and basement floor drains, as a boiler plate.

Yes, Basement. I enjoy inspecting basements and the mechanical's within.
My low-crawl days were finished when I was honorably discharged from the Army back in 1983. |

Nick, they will video scan your waste lines for less than $200 here in AZ, and they do not do any repairs. I did not mean to imply you should buy a franchise.

Do they camera scan septic tanks/ leaching fields? That would be impressive! |

Up here, almost every house has a basment with floor drain. When I think about pumping water through the main drain for 2 hours though, I'd be afraid to take my eyes off that floor drain in case there was a back up. Have you ever carried on with the inspection, only to return to the floor drain to find water backed up all over the floor? Thanks again, Paul-Marc |

I second the motion for Hydro-Physics referrals.
We had the Hydro-Physics guy from here in town come to a NACHI meeting a couple years ago, and his presentation and handouts were awesome in what they could achieve. Of course he was always welcoming referrals from us home inspectors, and his pricing was somewhere in the $200-$300 dollar range for scoping the sewer line to the street, and preventing several thousand dollar charges by the backhoe guys digging up the pipe. I keep several of his cards in my biz-card box, for when I feel I need to refer folks for this type of service.
