Follow the line, not the guess
Symptom-first entry
Begin with what you actually see: a slow drain, a gurgle, an odor, a backup. No pipe diagrams needed to get started.
Zone narrowing
Each answer branches toward a zone: fixture trap, branch line, vent, stack or building drain.
Dependency order
Upstream checks come before downstream ones, so a fault is never blamed on a zone you have not ruled in.
One clear next check
Every path ends on a single concrete action to perform next, not a vague list of possibilities.
Retrace the trail
Step back to any earlier decision and take the other branch when a check turns out differently on site.
Built for the job site
Big tap targets, a fast flow and no sign-in, so it works in a basement with one hand free.
Trace a fault
Pick a symptom and answer each question in order. Steps can only be revisited upstream, never skipped, just like in the app.
About us
🔧 We are a small crew of tool-minded builders who have spent enough hours kneeling beside cleanouts to know what a real diagnostic aid should feel like: fast, honest and in the right order.
🧭 Our mission is simple. Help plumbers and building maintainers move from symptom to zone to next check without leaping past a dependency that would have explained everything.
🚰 SewerSpine: Cause Path gives you a branching trail you can follow with wet gloves. Each answer narrows the fault, keeps your reasoning visible and ends on one clear action.
⛓️ Trace it in order. Fix it once.
Privacy policy
Effective Date: September 2026
SewerSpine: Cause Path is built to work entirely on your device. We do not collect, store or share any data about you, your jobs or the buildings you work on.
1. Information We Collect
None. The app does not ask for, record or transmit personal details, locations, job notes or the symptoms and checks you walk through.
2. How We Use Information
Because nothing is collected, nothing is used. We do not analyze your behavior, build profiles, or sell or rent anything to anyone.
3. Data Storage
Everything the app needs lives locally on your device. There is no cloud account, no server-side copy and no remote backup operated by us.
4. Third-Party Services
The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising networks or tracking tools, so there is nobody downstream who receives information from your use of it.
5. Data Security
Since all cause-path logic runs offline on your device, there is no data in transit for anyone to intercept. Your device's own protections, such as a passcode, keep your phone secure.
6. Children's Privacy
The app is friendly to the principles of COPPA. We do not collect data from anyone, including children under 13, because we do not collect data from any user at all.
7. Your Control
There are no accounts to manage and nothing to export or erase on our side. Deleting the app removes everything it ever held on your device.
8. Changes to This Policy
If the app's behavior ever changes, we will update this page and its effective date. Our commitment to keeping your data on your device will stay at the center of any revision.
