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.

Findings (4)
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.
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.
Every finding reviewed and approved before the homeowner sees it.

Defect detection runs on footage from any push camera. Belly confirmation additionally needs pitch readings in the camera overlay — Ridgid SeeSnake is supported first, with more brands added during the beta.
The problem
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.
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
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.
$8,000 refund risk + legal exposure
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
How it works
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.
- Step 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.
- Step 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.
- Step 3
You confirm the findings
Approve, edit, or reject each finding before anything is published. Nothing reaches a homeowner unreviewed — that is the point.
- Step 4
The report builds itself
Defect screenshots, slope profile, pipe health score, and a plain-language summary the homeowner can actually follow.
- Step 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 pitch stays at −0.5° or lower for at least three consecutive feet — so a minor dip in grade never turns into an excavation quote.
Pipe grade profile
pitch sensor data · full run
Belly confirmed at 35–50 ft from the cleanout. Deepest point -2.1° below level. 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.
Features
Everything a professional inspection report should include
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
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
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
When the camera is submerged or blocked, DrainSight says so and produces a “jetting required before diagnosis” document instead of a junk report.
Turns a wasted trip into a billable outcome
Your logo, the pipe health score, 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
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.
