Award-Winning Gen-Eye Micro-Scope® Florida Plumber’s Dependable Pipe Inspection Tool

Plumbing pro Jake Albright likes reliability, ruggedness, and convenience in his drain cleaning tools.

That’s why the ultra-compact, handheld Gen-Eye Micro-Scope® video inspection system remains a key part of his equipment arsenal.

“It’s great for inspecting all sorts of small drains – including toilets”, he says. “It really saves time and money.”

The award-winning inspection tool from General Pipe Cleaners offers outstanding versatility when inspecting 1-1/2” to 3” drain lines, many toilet traps, and hard-to-reach places – like duct work, furnaces, and crawl spaces with the 39” probe rod.

“And it quickly gets to the root of some problems – literally!” Albright adds.

 

Compact Inspection Accuracy

A Pittsburgh native, Albright started the successful Steel City Plumbing in 1982 before relocating to Florida – and founding Naples Plumbing LLC in January 2014. Now his burgeoning business serves a mix of commercial and residential customers throughout Collier County.

One of them recently experienced a clogged toilet in their house.

“I snaked-out the toilet, and everything worked fine,” Albright recalls. “But a week later it backed-up, again.”

That’s when he grabbed his Gen-Eye Micro-Scope.

Albright’s model “GMG” Micro-Scope includes hand-held command module, 39” probe rod, and carrying case. It also sports an open reel with 100 ft. of micro push-rod and color camera. The whole package weighs just 24 lbs.

“I simply fed the camera down the bathroom sink drain, which runs into the main drain,” he says, “And I didn’t even have to pull the toilet.”

The Micro-Scope quickly discovered that roots had penetrated the line – and they were successfully eliminated.

“Without having to pull the toilet, the initial inspection was also a lot less expensive for the customer,” Albright notes.

 

Convenient & Powerful

General’s trim Micro-Scope package literally puts inspection convenience in the hands of plumbing and drain cleaning pros.

The Micro-Scope monitor sports a bright, 3.5” LCD screen and built-in SD card reader with one-touch record button to archive job photos or videos. In addition to a USB port, it also includes digital zoom, rotatable picture, voice-over recording, and LED brightness controls.

“Voice-over recording and videos really help explain what you’re doing for customers,” Albright observes.

The monitor attaches to the reel with an adjustable mount for optimal viewing angles. And depending on model, the reel can hold up to 100 ft. of micro push rod with color camera. The 39” probe rod lets you check hard-to-reach places. And three handy attachments help adjust viewing angles – or retrieve objects.

On-screen status indicators include date and time, SD card capacity, and battery strength. The rechargeable battery powers the unit for up to four hours.

“We take it everywhere!” Albright adds.

 

A Potent Professional Arsenal

Jake Albright stands behind his work – and expects the same from the tools he uses.

His customers in Florida appreciate that. And that’s why he’s built his drain-cleaning arsenal around General products – including rugged, reliable Gen-Eye, water jet, and cable equipment.

“General stands by me – and I stand by General,” Jake Albright concludes. “I won’t even consider another company!”
