Your footage closes drains. A report closes jobs.
The deal, up front: upload tonight's camera run. By 8 am you have the graded report: every find timestamped and stilled, distance from the cleanout, and a recommendation the homeowner can read without you standing there translating.
For the drain contractor whose camera pays for itself on Tuesdays and sits in the van the rest of the week. The footage was always worth more than the look on the customer's face.
Three frames from a sample report

Fine root intrusion at joint
Root mat across roughly a third of the pipe face at a clay joint. Recommend cutting now, re-inspect in 12 months. This is maintenance, not yet excavation.
00:07:42 · 047.3 FT
Offset joint, standing water
Visible lip and ponding starting at the offset. The report shows the homeowner the exact frame, the depth estimate and why the spot repair lands here and nowhere else.

Clean run to the main
Stated plainly so the customer sees you are not selling them the whole yard. The clean sections earn the trust that sells the one repair that matters.
# Demonstration findings on a stated 1 to 5 severity scale, defined inside every report. Not affiliated with any certification body's coding standard.
How the night shift works
# Morning turnaround is the proposed service standard for the pilot, stated as a target.
Proposed pilot price
# Proposed pricing for a pilot. This option is not yet on sale, see the status line below. Against a camera job you already billed, the report is the cheapest part of the invoice that gets the repair approved, a claim of intent, not a measured close rate.
