job sheet app for drainage engineers

Drainage and septic engineers

Blockages, jetting, CCTV surveys, repairs and septic tank work — usually urgent, usually messy.

How does Day Worksheet work for drainage and septic engineers?

Day Worksheet is a job sheet app for drainage and septic engineers. You record the callout, time on site, what was found on the jetting or camera run, parts and materials used, and photos of the drain before and after, then produce a branded invoice from the same job.

What usually goes wrong

  • Emergency callouts are done at speed and written up days later, if at all
  • The customer disputes the charge because nobody can show what was blocking the run
  • CCTV findings sit on a camera, not on the job record
  • Out-of-hours rates are applied inconsistently

What you end up with

  • Callout time and hours at the right rate
  • What was found on the jetting or camera run
  • Parts, fittings and consumables used
  • Photos of the drain before and after
  • Customer signature taken on site

Questions

Can I write up a callout on site?

Yes. The point of the app is to finish the record before you leave rather than at the end of the week.

Can I attach camera images?

You can attach up to four images per sheet from your phone, including photographs of the camera screen.

Can I use different rates for out-of-hours work?

Yes. You set the rate on each labour line, so an out-of-hours rate is applied where it belongs.

Can the customer sign before I leave?

Yes. Electronic signatures are captured on the phone against the completed work.
