I have a leak from the main drain from the house, which unfortunately runs under my garage base. I have a pit, 5'6" deep, in the garage, and the water is seeping into the pit. Getting the job done is no problem, but I want, if possible, to find exactly where the break or fracture is to cut down on guesswork, and the amount of digging of course.
I toyed with the idea of using a webcam on the end of drain rods to take a look for the break, but as it's at least 20 feet from the manhole, and the maximum length for a USB 1.1 cable is only around 10 feet, that idea was kicked into touch. Getting someone in with specialist camera gear is out of the question due to cost.
Anyone have any other suggestions other than, "Get digging matey"?
