The Storm Drain Inspection app helps field teams electronically survey stormwater drains and gutters using a smartphone. Inspectors can record debris levels, pollution, odors, and water clarity, along with current weather conditions and exact geolocation of each drain.
The app also supports photo documentation, allowing crews to maintain a permanent record of issues for maintenance planning. Forms can be customized with our drag-and-drop app builder to match local inspection requirements, and data can be combined with record assignment for dispatching work orders directly to field staff.
By replacing paper forms, this mobile tool reduces time and labor costs while improving accuracy for stormwater management in water utilities and municipal operations.
