One great tech can grow a business.A system grows the whole team.
Most companies lean on one guy. When he is not on the call, the work slips, and the money slips with it. Axel™ rides in every tech's pocket and runs the job the way your best guy would. Built for residential sewer and drain companies running 3 to 10 trucks.

The Leak
The money leaves before you ever see it.
Camera goes down. Tech says "looks good for now." A four or five figure repair drives off to whoever they call next. Run your own numbers.
Set it to whatever you think yours is. Most operators guess low.
Work walking across the street
per year
This is your math, not ours. The system exists to close that gap.
SHE NEVER SEES THIS.
Your tech does. Every job. Then he gets in the truck and tries to describe it.
This is the text you got Tuesday.
No footage. A pipe size he guessed at. A four figure repair he handed to the homeowner to "think about."

Your guy gave them a guess. The franchise gave them a system.
What actually happens in the basement
Three steps. Every job. Every truck.
The camera goes in the line.
Your tech runs the inspection like always. Nothing new to learn.
01. The camera goes in the line.
Your tech runs the inspection like always. Nothing new to learn.
02. Axel™ runs the proving.
Classifies the defect, builds the Good, Better, Best with financing, gives your tech the words. Green guy or vet, same discipline.
03. The job closes in the driveway.
Signed record in her inbox, review request fired, chargeback trail locked, before the truck leaves the street.
Built to replace the CRM you outgrew.
Housecall Pro, Jobber, and ServiceTitan were built for every trade at once. FieldMetrx™ was built for sewer and drain, and it runs the whole job. We connect to what you keep, like QuickBooks and Drive.
One trade. One system.
FieldMetrx™ runs the job in the basement, not just the paperwork in the office.
- Every job diagnosed the same way, whoever's holding the camera.
- Every call documented with photos and a report the homeowner trusts.
- Every proposal built in tiers, so the ticket matches the real work.
TrenchCam™
Captures the proof, classifies the defect, and files it under the job automatically.
The Proposal Engine
Builds a tiered offer on-site with financing already in it, so the homeowner sees what it costs and what it fixes, not just a number.
The Bulletproof Back-End
Signed record, automatic review request, and a timestamped paper trail before the truck leaves the street.
Try it
Pick a step. Watch Axel™ work.
Five things FieldMetrx does on a job, replayed exactly as they came out of the product. The capture, the photo read, the findings, the options, and the report the customer gets. None of it was written for a website.
Pick a step to replay
Two choices at the shutter. Inspection means Axel™ reads it. Site photo means it is stored and left alone. Nothing gets analyzed that nobody asked to have analyzed.
Captured from FieldMetrx. The camera work is a 4 inch cast iron main at 1023 Harrington Drive, Austin TX. The inspection report is a hydro jet run by Rocky Mountain Services. Every price came from the shop's own Price Book.
Why the big ones keep winning
It is not the trucks. It is not the wrap.
Every tech they put in front of a homeowner runs the same field system. Same questions. Same defect names. Same three options on the screen. Same paperwork at the close.
Their newest hire runs a process a franchise spent twenty years writing. Your ten-year man runs on memory and his own read of the room.
She cannot tell the difference. So she picks the one that looks more organized, which is always the one with the system behind it.
Their worst tech beats your best tech because the system does the proving. That is the whole gap.
Built for you. Not the franchise.
Residential sewer and drain. 3 to 10 trucks. Already on ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or spreadsheets.
If you run real work and want it run right every time, this was built for you.
What got you to $1M is the same thing keeping you there.
You got here on hustle. Your instinct, your hours, your back. Most guys never do it and you did. The next two million does not come from more of that. It comes from your company being able to run a job the way you would run it when you are nowhere near the basement.
FieldMetrx™ was built inside a working trenchless rehabilitation company, not in an office.
Twelve-plus years of residential sewer and drain work. Lining, spot repairs, full line replacements, and every conversation in the basement that had to happen before any of it got approved.
Before that, city streets. Lining manhole to manhole. Cutting taps. Running CCTV trucks.
We have seen this trade from the municipal side and the residential side. From inside the pipe, and from across the kitchen table.
The reason your tech and the homeowner never speak the same language is that nobody ever wrote the language down. We spent twelve years watching exactly where it breaks.
We watched the same defects show up over and over, get called three different names by three different techs ... and lose the same five-figure jobs to the same big plumbing companies for the same reason every time.
The homeowner couldn't tell the difference between a real diagnosis and a sales pitch.
So we stopped trying to train techs harder.
We built the system that does the proving for them.
Then we made it run on the phone in your tech's pocket.
02 · What Changes
What changes when the system is installed.
Inside 30 Days
- Every tech, green or senior, calls the same defect by the same name
- Every job ends with a signed Homeowner Record in her email before the truck leaves the street
- Review requests fire automatically at the moment she's most likely to leave a five-star
- Chargebacks get fought with a timestamped paper trail, not a phone call
Inside 90 Days
- Brand-new techs start walking out of basements with signed high-ticket repairs
- Your best tech stops threatening to quit because the awkward part of the job is gone
- You stop being the only person in the office who can close
- The owner gets his Monday back
What your phone starts looking like
This is the system small operators have been trying to build on their own for ten years and never finishing. We finished it. You just install it.
Our process to fix the
closing problem.
A five-phase install that turns one good tech into a company-wide system. You are not buying a login.
THE READ
We go through your last 90 days with you. Your pricing, your defects, the jobs you lost and the reason you lost them. You keep that read either way.
THE BUILD
Your flat rate book, your defect list, your tiers, your financing. Loaded and calibrated to your company, not a template with your logo on it. This is where Axel™ learns how you run.
THE CALIBRATION
Every tech gets set to his real experience level, by you, during onboarding. Green guys get coached. Senior guys get out of the way. Nobody sounds like he's reading off a card.
THE FIRST 30 DAYS
Your guys run live jobs on it while we watch the tape with you. When a job stalls, we fix the system instead of blaming the tech. You talk to the build team direct the whole time.
THE COMPOUND
Every job feeds the next one. You build your own history: what closed, what stalled, what a job like this actually cost last time. That is the part a franchise can't sell you and a competitor can't copy.
Software ships. A system gets installed. That difference is the whole business.
Takes two minutes. You hear from us when the next round opens.
RETIRE YOUR CRM.
ON YOUR TIMELINE.
You already pay for something. Housecall Pro, Jobber, QuickBooks, or a spreadsheet and a group text that mostly works.
All of it was built for every trade at once. FieldMetrx was built for sewer and drain, and it is meant to be the system you run on. How fast you make the switch gets decided on your install call, not buried in a contract.
MAKE THE SWITCH
One system, intake to signed record. No double entry, no second login, nothing to reconcile Friday afternoon.
PHASE IT IN
Not ready to pull the plug this month? We start with the part that actually costs you money, the forty minutes your tech spends in a basement trying to explain a four-figure repair, and take the rest when you say go.
You've seen every one of these before.
None of them were built for a drain call.
We didn't bolt these on to check a box. Tap any row.
Same jobs. Same trucks. A completely different call.
FOUR SENTENCES EVERY OWNER SAYS. FOUR THINGS THAT STOP.
06 · The Part Nobody Tells You
This isn't just a tool. It's the thing that turns your company into something worth selling.
Here's what the big plumbing companies understand that small operators don't.
A drain company without a system is worth roughly the value of its trucks and its current backlog. That's it. The owner walks away, the business walks away with him, and the buyer pays for sheet metal and a phone list.
A drain company running a real field operating system is a completely different asset class.
- Every job is documented the same way
- Every tech runs the same field language
- Every customer gets the same Homeowner Record
- Every chargeback has a paper trail
- Every review is captured on schedule
Sellable
A buyer sees a business, not just trucks.
Fundable
Lenders and partners can underwrite it.
A multiple
Private equity sees value, not a paycheck.
Ask any broker who sells home service companies what separates a business from a job. The answer is whether it runs without the owner in the room. Whether you ever plan to sell or not, you should be running your company like an asset, not a job.
A $2M company that runs on one guy is a job that pays $2M. A $2M company that runs on a system is worth something. Same revenue. Different asset.
You can keep grinding for the next ten years, or you can install the system that makes the next ten years build something you can actually walk away from.
We put it in writing.
WE BUILD IT WITH YOU
We install it, train your techs, and stay on until every truck is running the system. Not a login and a good luck.
YOU TALK TO THE BUILD TEAM DIRECT
Something breaks or you need a change, you reach the people who built it. No ticket queue, no call center.
FOUNDING RATE LOCKED FOR LIFE
When the next round opens, the list gets it before anyone else, at the rate we open at. Everyone after pays more.
// THE INSTALL
How the install works.
Not software you log into. A system we build into your shop, phase by phase, until it holds the standard without you standing over it.
The Walkthrough
WEEK 1We map how your shop runs right now. How a call becomes a job, what the tech actually sends back from the field, how a proposal gets built, and what the office is still chasing at six o'clock. Then we find where the jobs leak.
You get the map of where the money falls out before we install anything.
System Build
DAYS 7 TO 30Axel™ loaded with your pricing and your process. TrenchCam™ on every truck. Proposal Engine built on your options, not a template. QuickBooks Online running alongside so the office stops re-keying what the field already captured.
Your techs stop guessing. Your office stops re-typing.
Run It Live
DAYS 31 TO 90Real jobs through the system with us watching. We tune it against what your crew actually does on a Tuesday, not what the org chart says they do. Aftermath starts stacking documentation on every closed job.
Anyone who tells you a system installs in a week has never ridden a truck.
Run It Without You
MONTH 4+Add a truck. Add a tech. The system holds the standard instead of you holding it. Every new hire walks into the same process the last one did, and the office sees the same paper from every truck.
The shop runs the same on the day you're not in it.
