App Concept

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)
