Workarounds Described

• uses snake and camera but camera too big
• uses Drano/Thrift to clear slow drain
• relies on plumber friend with resources but hit a wall

Implied Software Gaps

• Micro-camera inspection system for narrow slab drains with real-time video output

SlabPipe Scope

A micro-camera inspection system specifically designed for narrow, tight-turn drain lines in slab foundations. It uses a flexible, snake-like probe with an ultra-miniature camera head that can navigate 1-inch pipes and 90-degree elbows, transmitting live video to a smartphone app. Plumbers and homeowners can finally see inside slab drains without excavation.
