Your permit's worst rule, handled
Many construction permits require inspections after qualifying rain events, on top of routine weekly or biweekly inspections. Here's how RainCheck closes it.
We watch the rain at every site
Hourly precipitation checks at each site's exact location. Cross your permit trigger (0.25″, 0.5″, whatever your state says) and the inspection clock starts automatically. Got a gauge on site? Log it in two taps; the gauge is the official record.
You get told before it's a problem
Rain expected tomorrow? We tell you today so you can walk the site first. Rain hit overnight? The email says exactly which site and when your state's deadline runs out. Miss the deadline and it flags OVERDUE in red, so there are no surprises in an audit.
Inspections built for muddy gloves
Big buttons, pass/fail per control, photos stamped with GPS and time, sign with your name, done. Works in bad coverage: the form saves to your phone as you go and photos upload with retries.
Photos that hold up
Every photo carries GPS coordinates and a timestamp baked into the record. When someone asks 'prove the silt fence was up on the 14th,' you have it.
Reports that look official
Signed inspections lock instantly and turn into PDFs styled like the forms state inspectors already know, emailed to your superintendent and anyone else you choose, automatically.
The audit binder, in minutes
One click exports everything for a site (rain log, every signed inspection, corrective action history, your SWPPP docs) into a single PDF binder. The thing that takes a week to assemble by hand.

Straight answers
What triggers a SWPPP inspection?
Most construction general permits require an inspection within 24 hours after a rain event of 0.25 or 0.5 inches (varies by state), plus routine inspections every 7 or 14 days. RainCheck watches the rain at each site's exact location and starts the clock for you.
What happens if I miss a stormwater inspection?
Missed inspections are the most common SWPPP violation found in audits. Federal penalties can run up to $68,445 per day per violation (the current inflation-adjusted maximum), and states issue their own fines on top. A complete, signed inspection log is your first line of defense.
Does RainCheck work in bad cell coverage?
Yes. The inspection form saves everything on your phone as you go, and photos upload in the background with automatic retries. Dropping signal mid-walkthrough never loses your work.
Can consultants use RainCheck for multiple clients?
Yes. Consultant accounts group sites by client, roll the whole portfolio into one dashboard, and put your logo (not ours) on every PDF report that goes to your clients.
How much does RainCheck cost?
$29 per active site per month, with a 7-day free trial. Add a card to start; you won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime. Stabilized and closed sites are free and their records stay forever.
