Step-by-step prevention guide for common blockages (e.g., grout traps, condensation routing)
Photo documentation and auto-report generation for customer records
Integration with scheduling and invoicing systems (e.g., ServiceTitan)

Target Users: Plumbers, HVAC techs, and electricians who perform drainage or flood prevention services

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription ($30-50/month per user, with freemium tier for basic checks)
