At first I thought this was a somewhat crazy idea but if anyone knows the answer, someone here will.
We have a low level dead animal smell in a wall. I have pulled insulation down from the cellar ceiling and pulled off a baseboard to drill holes in each wall cavity, but no luck.
Just spoke to an experienced carpenter I know who basically said 'good luck with that'. Impossible to identify where the smell is coming from without opening up the walls. The smell moves thru wire and pipe holes etc. Basically a nightmare. Yes I know that.
Before I just found the "DeWalt Hand Held Wall Scanner DCT419S1" I thought to myself.
What about a veterinary portable x-ray or ultrasound machine? Would either see thru drywall and show a possible small animal corpse?
Any vet's or vet tech's here? What do you think? Would it be dangerous?
Equine lameness specialists all now use computer based x-ray's and ultrasound machines so at least there are no film costs.
I'd pay $500 tomorrow to identify exactly what and exactly where it is in my wall.

PS, no I don't think the Dewalt scanner would work but they should investigate adding this feature.
