What the Software Does for Drainage Engineers
Six features, all built around the same job: turn a finished job into a posted review with the least possible work from you. Nothing fluffy. Nothing you'd never use.
SMS review requests
Sent the moment you finish a job. SMS gets a 90%+ open rate within minutes.
Sentiment gate
Unhappy customers give private feedback. Only happy ones go to Google.
Automatic follow-up nudge
If a customer doesn't respond to the first request, one polite reminder goes out a few days later. Then it stops — no nagging.
Private feedback inbox
Every low rating that didn't go to Google lands in your dashboard with its comment, so you can call the customer back and fix the issue.
Conversion stats
See how many requests you've sent, how many customers clicked through, and how many actually posted a review.
Bulk import past customers
Upload a CSV of recent customers and send a one-off request to all of them — a fast way to bank a wave of reviews.
What Software Like This Solves for Drainage Engineers
Generic CRMs treat a drainage business like a tech startup. Bespoke booking software costs hundreds a month and barely touches reviews. Below are the four specific problems this software was built to fix.
Nobody wants to think about drains — let alone review the experience
Emergency unblocking is urgent but forgettable once fixed
Drain work is unpleasant — customers want to forget it happened
You compete with Dyno-Rod and national chains
Top-ranking drainage engineers typically have 30-60 Google reviews.
Why Drainage Engineers Need Review Software in the First Place
Drainage is an emergency service. When a drain blocks, customers Google and call fast. Your reviews need to convey rapid response, fair pricing, and problem solved. That's what gets you picked over the national chains. Software solves the asking problem at scale — you can't do this by hand and run a business at the same time.
"drainage engineer near me"
Google shows the top three results for this search based heavily on review count, rating, and recency. Most clicks go to those three.
Trust signal
For a drainage business, reviews are the first social proof potential customers see — long before they ever talk to you.
Permanent asset
Unlike Checkatrade, Google reviews are free, owned by you, and don't disappear when you stop paying.
Designed Around the Reality of Drainage Work
From the busy week of a drainage engineer juggling a blocked drain clearing and a CCTV drain survey on the same day, to the slow weeks — the software pulls its weight in both.
blocked drain clearing
A customer who's just had a blocked drain clearing from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
CCTV drain survey
A customer who's just had a CCTV drain survey from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
drain repair
A customer who's just had a drain repair from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
septic tank emptying
A customer who's just had a septic tank emptying from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.

Questions About the Software
What features does the software include for drainage engineers?+
SMS review requests, an automatic follow-up nudge, sentiment-gated routing (so unhappy customers go to private feedback, not Google), a private feedback inbox, a stats dashboard showing requests sent and conversions, your existing Google reviews displayed in-app, and CSV bulk import. Nothing bolted on you'd never use.
Does it work on my phone?+
Yes — that's the point. The whole interface is built to be used between jobs on a phone. Add a customer in under 15 seconds.
What's the difference between this and free Google review request links?+
A static link doesn't get sent, doesn't filter unhappy customers out, and doesn't tell you who hasn't reviewed yet. The software does all three.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Monthly rolling — cancel from the dashboard with one click. No retention calls, no contracts to wriggle out of.
Software that earns its keep — for drainage engineers.
No setup fees, no annual contracts, no per-seat pricing. Just the features that move your review count up and your admin down.
