Hello folks, Dave Schulke here with the Twin Home Experts. We're here at an
emergency where water was coming up inside the wall
spilling outside of an electrical pipe. Plumbers, waterproofing guys came out no
one's been able to figure it out. So I'm gonna use this tool and a sewer camera
to identify and figure out what's going on. Let's go check it out.
Alright guys so here we are in the garage just below the
electrical panel here. And this customer here saw water coming out of here. So we've
opened up this wall identified this electrical pipe here.
And if you come in a little closer you can
see that the water is coming, boiling out of here when it rains causing this water
damage here. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna run our sewer camera down
this pipe and we're gonna trace out where this conduit is to find the source
of that rain water coming in. Now it's gotta be at a higher elevation than this.
So it's either gonna be in the backyard on the hilltop or higher up but you've got to have a camera,
you've gotta have locating equipment, so you get down and pinpoint where it's at.
So let's go ahead and show you what that looks like. You can edit the video?
Alright folks, so we're gonna go ahead and put this on locate, when you get that fuzzy little
film there that means you're on. We'll turn this on it and let's go work here
folks.
Nope it's further this way.
nope it's weirder this way
Okay stop the camera. As you can see we're a hundred and fifty seven feet away from
this point right here.
Right here. Yes! It's gotta be right here. Let's open this lid up and let's take a look. Go.
There it is folks.
So what's happening is this is the line and this water is filling up and filling
these pipes up right here. So that's it folks, that's what it is. I love it we
found it. Alright so we solved the problem here by taking a piece of ABS a
rubber coupling and building a riser above this water level here and we went
ahead and pumped the water out there. As you can see there's no more standing
water. Well folks there you have it any time you need to find an underground
sewer pipe, electrical pipe, any issues you've got to use a sewer camera and a
locator. Hey as always thanks for watching. Make sure you subscribe.
