See what's underground. Close the job on the spot.

Upload your inspection footage and DrainSight flags the defects, marks exactly where they show up in the footage, and builds a report that shows the homeowner their own pipe. When they can see the problem, the repair sells itself.

Pipe slope profile

How steeply the pipe runs downhill along its length, entry point to end.

  • Slope
  • Low spot (belly)
  • Belly threshold
  • 1 Finding

Above the dashed line the pipe drains as it should. Shaded stretches sit below it — water pools there instead of flowing on.

Highlighted findings

The two that usually start the repair conversation. All four are on the full sample.

3

Root Intrusion

28.5–31 ft from the entry point

High severity
Root Intrusion

Camera still at 28.5–31 ft. The red box marks the spot.

What this is

Tree roots have found their way into the pipe through a joint or crack. Roots keep growing once inside and eventually catch debris, leading to slow drains and backups.

What it means

Significant — active problem that needs professional attention.

4

Pipe Belly (Sag)

40–48 ft from the entry point

High severity

What this is

A section of pipe has sunk lower than the sections around it, creating a low spot where water sits instead of draining. Standing water collects debris and causes recurring slow drains.

What it means

Significant — active problem that needs professional attention.

Every finding reviewed and approved before the homeowner sees it.

Works with the camera already on your truck

  • Milwaukee M18
  • REED
  • DeWalt
  • General Pipe
  • Any MP4

Defect detection runs on footage from any push camera. Belly confirmation when your camera shows pitch on screen.

Misdiagnosis is expensive, and it happens on judgment calls made in the dark

Every inspection is a real-time call under time pressure, with no data behind it and nothing to hand the customer afterwards. The failures are predictable.

  1. Belly misdiagnosed as a clog

    Tech sees standing water, calls it grease, jets the line. The customer calls back two weeks later with the same slow drain. The pipe had sagged underground — jetting never fixes a belly.

    Callback + repeat dispatch + lost trust

  2. Clog misdiagnosed as a belly

    Tech calls it a belly and sells an excavation. The work gets done and the drain is still slow, because it was a grease clog all along. Now come the refund demands.

    Refund risk + legal exposure

  3. No documentation for the customer

    Tech tells the homeowner “you have roots in your line.” No report, no photos, nothing to show. The customer isn’t convinced, shops around, and the repair never closes.

    Lower close rate + no record of the visit

Footage in the truck, report in their hands

AI analysis finishes in minutes. You review what it found, publish, and the customer has the report before you pull out of the driveway.

  1. 1

    Upload the footage

    From the job site, on a phone or tablet. Any push camera, any MP4. Uploads resume if you lose signal in the driveway.

  2. 2

    The AI reads every frame

    Defects get flagged with the frame they appear in, pitch data is parsed for belly analysis, and the pipe material is identified. This takes minutes, not hours.

  3. 3

    You confirm the findings

    Approve, edit, or reject each finding before anything is published. Nothing reaches a homeowner unreviewed — that is the point.

  4. 4

    The report builds itself

    Defect screenshots, slope profile, and a plain-language summary the homeowner can actually follow.

  5. 5

    Share it before you leave

    Send a link the customer opens on their phone, or hand over a branded PDF. Every report stays in your inspection history.

A belly confirmed by pitch data, not by a hunch

DrainSight reads the pitch readings your camera writes into the footage and builds a grade profile of the whole run. A belly is only called when the pipe runs back uphill by 1° or more for at least three consecutive feet — so a minor dip in grade never turns into an excavation quote.

Pipe grade profile

  • Slope
  • Low spot
  • Belly threshold

Belly confirmed at 40–48 ft from the cleanout. Deepest point 3.4° back uphill. Physical inspection recommended before any repair quote.

  • Confirms the bellies that are real

    The threshold has to be crossed and held. Normal grade variation doesn't trip it.

  • Rules out the ones that aren't

    A clean grade profile is documented evidence there is no belly — which protects you from selling an excavation that wouldn't have fixed anything.

Everything a professional inspection report should include

AI defect detection SightScan™
Six core defect types — Root Intrusion, Joint Offset, Sediment Buildup, Pipe Belly (Sag), Crack / Fracture, Obstruction — each with a severity rating and the timestamp where it shows up in the footage. High-severity findings sort to the top.
Runs on footage from any push camera
Timestamped defect screenshots
Every finding carries the frame it was spotted in, with the defect outlined. The homeowner sees the actual problem in their actual pipe.
Video clips are on the roadmap, not in beta
AI pipe material identification
Identifies Cast Iron, PVC, Clay, Orangeburg, ABS from the footage, so the report can speak to the age and failure modes of what is actually in the ground.
In beta — reviewed like every other finding
Obstructed footage handling
When a stretch of footage is too dark, blurry, or submerged to assess, DrainSight excludes it from analysis instead of guessing at a defect.
Automatic “jetting required” report is on the roadmap, not in beta
Customer-ready report SightReport™
Your logo, the slope profile, and every finding written in plain language. Share as a link or download the branded PDF.
Ready before you leave the driveway
Inspection history
Every inspection you have run, stored and searchable by customer or address, with the report and evidence still attached.
A record of the visit, months later

A human signs off on every report

Nothing the AI flags reaches a homeowner until someone on your crew approves it. Your license, your call — and a documented review trail behind every finding you quote from.

One price for the shop, not per tech

Every plan includes the whole app: defect detection, belly confirmation, branded reports, and share links. Plans differ by crew size and how many videos you scope.

14 days free

Every new shop gets a 14-day trial that covers 5 inspections. A card is required and is charged when the 14 days end, unless you cancel first. Use all 5 sooner and uploads pause until you start the plan.

Solo

For the owner-operator.

$99 a month

  • One login. Just you.
  • 25 videos a month

Sales tax is added where it applies. A founding spot is separate, with no trial: $149 a month or $1,490 a year, for the whole crew, locked for 3 years.

Beta members keep their founding rate for 3 years

No setup fees, no contract, cancel any time. The plans above are what opens after the beta. A founding spot keeps $149 a month for 3 years, with no trial. After that it moves to the Shop plan on its own.
