    Default Easy private locate in St. Petersburg, Fl

    I have a homeowner who has roots in their sewer line. Just need to clip a lead onto the snake where he puts it down the clean out and mark the path of the sewer line and where the signal stops to indicate the blockage.

    They understand they may have to dig down the length of the pipe to find the break but this can save them several hours of digging.

    The problem I see is that this may be as close as 15' from the clean out / transmitter and not be able to get a reliable signal. But they have a 50' snake so they can stretch it out into the yard keeping the metal from contacting the ground.

    The person has flexible hours so an after hours or weekend meet is possible.

    A 10 or 15 minute job, anybody want some side work? If so contact me by private message.

    No, just looking to save a few hours hand digging with a shovel.

    If they were paying travel expenses I would be doing it.
