Free Online Drainage Drawing & CCTV Markup Tool

Sketch a site drainage layout or mark up CCTV survey photos — in your browser, no install, no account.

DrainCAD is a free, browser-based drawing tool built for drainage and groundworks contractors, and for anyone producing CCTV drainage survey reports. Lay out gullies, manholes, inspection chambers and pipe runs on a simple site plan, or drop straight into an existing CCTV screenshot and mark it up with text notes, leader arrows and dimensions. Everything exports as a clean image for your report, or saves as an editable file you can pick back up later. No software to install, nothing to buy, no login required.
