An idea for chimney inspections

Wayco Wayne

What if someone, (mayby me) designed a cage of sorts that would hold a video camera with a spot light that you could lower and take a movie of the descent of the camera. It would be even better if you could make it go up from the bottom, I hate crawling up on roofs. The real question is, does something like this already exist??

Would a Drain camera work? nm

yes

one of the local chimney companies here in porland has a camera, and we have had him out on jobs to inspect chimneys prior to equipment replacement. i'm sure he does regular inspections as well. it's a cool tool, just a little eyeball on a flexible rod with some stabilizers to keep it centered. from the bottom he can go up 35 feet. so the last chimney i had done was 70' so we went in from top as well. wound up installing a liner because the chimney had some holes in it.

I have a Roto-vision camera that I use for duct cleaning and any thing else the little bugger will fit into. It has a 35' cord that connects to a color TV/VCR. Every week it finds a new use. Really like it for seeing what is inside if walls or crawl spaces that have limited access. It can be found at rotobrush.com

How much does one of those run??? I looked at the web site but it gave no prices. Wayco Wayne
