PipeSight Decision Assistant
PipeSight uses AI to analyze sewer camera footage, automatically detect pipe defects (belly, scale, cracks), and recommend the best trenchless repair method. Homeowners get a clear, data-driven report to confidently choose between lining, bursting, or point repairs—no more guesswork or unnecessary digging.
Key Features
- Upload or record inspection video; AI detects defects and adds depth/distance stamps
- Generates a ranked list of repair options (e.g., CIPP lining, pipe bursting) with cost estimates and success probabilities
- Interactive 3D map of pipe system highlighting defect locations
- Shareable report with video highlights and recommendations for homeowner, contractor, and insurer
Target Users: Homeowners needing slab leak repair decisions and plumbers who want to offer trenchless solutions
Revenue Model: Freemium: basic report free; detailed analysis and contractor matching via subscription ($9.99/month) or per-report fee ($29.99)
