Sewer project workspace

Six weeks into a sewer problem, most people can no longer say reliably whether they saw something, were told it, or read it somewhere. That confusion is expensive: it turns a disagreement about facts into a disagreement about memory, usually while standing next to an open trench.

This workspace fixes what you know in place, with a source attached to every line. It works with one field filled in or fifty, it prints, and it never asks for your name.

What this page cannot establish

the workspace does not diagnose a sewer problem, and cannot
it does not choose a contractor, rank proposals, or declare a winner
it does not tell you which repair method is appropriate for your line
it does not estimate what anything costs, and produces no price of its own
nothing recorded here is verified by SewerOwner
no market has an active contractor network, so nothing here is routed anywhere

Nothing is saved yet. Anything you record will be stored in this browser only — SewerOwner does not receive it.

Where this project stands

This describes what you have recorded — not your sewer, not your contractors, and not your proposals. There is no score here and there is nothing to pass.

Observations organisedNot yet: You have not recorded anything you noticed yet. That is the first step, and it takes a minute.
Inspection documentedNot yet: No inspection state is recorded, so nothing else here rests on a view of your line.
Evidence recordedNot yet: 9 evidence questions are unanswered, starting with: No inspection state is recorded.
Proposal scopes comparableNot yet: No proposals are recorded, so there is nothing to compare yet.
Restoration terms recordedNot yet: No proposals are recorded, so there are no restoration terms to record yet.
Responsibility establishedNot yet: Responsibility for the line is not established in writing.
Questions ready to askDone: 10 questions are ready, each one drawn from something your record does not yet answer.
Project brief ready to printNot yet: The brief needs at least one thing recorded. Two fields is enough — it does not need forty.

This describes what you have recorded. It does not assess your sewer, your contractors, or your proposals.
Nothing here is a score, a grade, or a rating, and nothing here is a percentage.
"Not yet" means something is not recorded. It does not mean something is wrong.
A complete record does not establish that any repair is necessary, or which one.

The six steps

Take them in any order. Nothing is required, nothing unlocks anything else, and each one is useful on its own.

What the workspace does

organises what you noticed, separately from what anyone concluded from it
identifies what evidence would help a professional tell possibilities apart
translates the words in an inspection report into questions you can ask
shows which repair conversations your evidence currently supports
sets proposals beside each other by what they actually cover
builds a question list from the gaps in your own record
prints a brief you can hand to a contractor

What would change the answer

nothing to start — the workspace is useful with one thing recorded
anything you hold makes it more useful: a report, a quote, an invoice, a notice

What to do next

The observations are the anchor. Everything else in the workspace refers back to them.

Start with what you have noticed

If your situation is different

You are holding an inspection result right now: Organise the inspection findings first
You are holding two or more quotes: Compare proposals by stated scope

Evidence provenance
The discipline the workspace is built on: who said each thing, and on what basis.
Privacy
Where the record is stored, and what is measured.
Records and documentation
What a complete sewer file contains, and where the printed brief belongs afterwards.
