I have received a quote to “To Hydro-flush the perimeter drains and camera inspect, assess and report”?

The details are I have an 1800 sq. ft. 30 year old rural house, in the Pacific North-West. I have to run a line from the water treatment system that flushes every couple days. As there is no drain in the basement floor, I have to run it to the nearest drain in a basement stairwell. However this specific perimeter drain, is plugged 3 feet in.

My view off this Perimeter Drain Pipe (Big O) is after 30 years of being in a Rainforest is going to be full of debris, and maybe roots. There is a lot of growth of trees, with in 30 to 40 feet.

If it wasn’t for this water treatment system, I would leave it as is.

But my question is am I wasting $500 to “To Hydro-flush the perimeter drains and camera inspect, assess and report”?

Thanks beforehand

Imo, it wouldn't be a waste of 500 dollars. You will have a good record and state of health of your drain lines.

If you have a chance at saving the drain before the basement floods, solid information is worth the money.


Pun intended

Where will the hydro flushing operation flush all that sediment to?
