LibreCurb stop open, pipe material in frame, address on the record. The invoice checklist, shot in order.
Every service line gets its own record: the existing material at the curb and at the house, the new line going in, the restoration. Stamped with GPS and time, and ready when the water utility or the funding program asks.
A service line, documented from the curb to the restored lawn
Before, replacement, restoration. One address, one record, the same shots at every house.
Before excavation
- The house with the address in frame
- The meter and the curb box as found
- Locate marks, dated, before anyone digs
- The existing service line where it enters the house, material visible
- Driveway, sidewalk and lawn condition before the work
Replacement
- The excavated curb stop with the existing pipe exposed
- The old line coming out, with the material visible in the photo
- The new line in the trench or the bore, before backfill
- Connections at the main side and the house side
- Voice-caption the material found and anything unusual
Restoration
- Backfill and compaction
- Surface restored: lawn, sidewalk, driveway
- Flushing, and any sampling the program requires
- Tap Generate: the PDF for that address, every photo stamped
- Share the link with the water utility's project manager
The reimbursement is per address. So is the photo record.
Lead service line programs are run house by house, and paid house by house. The water utility, and the state program funding it, want to see what was in the ground, what went in, and that the yard was put back — for every address on the invoice. West Virginia's 2025 guidance, for one, asks for pictures of each service line before, during and after replacement, with the address, on every reimbursement invoice. The photos are usually taken; what breaks is matching three hundred of them to the right houses at the end of the month. LibreCam gives each address its own project, stamps every photo with GPS and time, and a checklist built from the program's requirements shows which shots are still missing before the crew moves to the next house. Before/after pairs show the restoration against the day-one condition, and the report for each service line is a PDF in two taps.
Built for service line crews and the water utilities they work for
A checklist from the program's requirements
Address, meter, existing material at both ends, new line, connections, restoration. The invoice checklist becomes a list the crew can see is complete.
Before and after at every house
The lawn, the sidewalk and the driveway as found and as restored, side by side. The homeowner's complaint has a photo answering it.
A project per address
Every photo lands under its address. Search a street and the whole block's records are there, in order.
A PDF per service line
Select the address, tap Generate. Every photo stamped with GPS and time, ready to attach to the invoice package.
The water utility opens a link
The utility's project manager reviews each address in a browser, with no app. Revoke it when the program closes.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. It doesn't classify lead, galvanized or copper. It makes sure the material is visible in a stamped photo at the curb and at the house, and a voice caption can carry what your crew found.
LibreCam doesn't certify, submit or approve anything for a funding program. It produces the photo record — per address, stamped with GPS and time — that you attach. Build the checklist from your program's invoice requirements so every shot it asks for gets taken.
Yes. Share a link per address or per batch. The utility's project manager opens it in a browser, and you can see who has opened it.
Share the address's link with the homeowner if the program allows it. The before/after of their yard is usually the first thing they ask about.
Yes. Send an upload link for the address. Their photos land in the right record without an account, stamped like everyone else's.
Nothing. LibreCam is free for every crew member and every reviewer at the water utility. The free plan is the product, not a trial.
