For plumbers
Short videos for plumbers, no filming
For plumbing companies who want to explain what sits behind the wall without filming under sinks: what to post, what a month of shorts costs next to a freelancer, and what ViewGum can't do for you yet.
How can a plumbing company make short videos without filming?
ViewGum's 3D Build turns one line, like what the P-trap under your sink does, into a narrated 3D short for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. It builds the drain under the sink piece by piece and names each part. Each short is priced before it starts.
The line: “What the P-trap under your sink does”
What does a 3D Build short look like?
A muted excerpt of a 3D Build short made with ViewGum. It was not made for a plumbing company.
What should a plumbing company post on TikTok, Reels and Shorts?
One true, general thing your customers ask about, one line each. Each is built in 3D, with a narrator.

What the P-trap under your sink does
Everyone has one and few know why it bends. A short that lets sewer gas rise without it, then fills the water seal, makes a small part memorable.

How a bathroom is plumbed before the walls close
Remodel clients never see the rough-in once the drywall goes up. Showing the supply lines, drains and vent in place explains what they are paying for.

Why pipes burst when they freeze
Post it before the first hard freeze. The short can show where the pressure builds and what a homeowner can do before leaving on a winter trip.

What a sump pump does in a heavy rain
It reaches homeowners with basements when a storm is in the forecast, and shows how the pit, the pump and the discharge line keep water out.

How a water heater heats your water
Most owners have never looked inside the tank. Building the burner, the dip tube and the relief valve in order explains a service visit.

Why a slow drain gets worse over time
Customers pour cleaner down and wait. Showing buildup narrow a pipe year by year explains why a snake or a camera comes next.

What rules apply when a plumbing company posts videos?
Each links the body that sets it. Read your short against them before you post.
- Some states require a contractor's license number in all advertising, and California's board counts any electronic transmission as advertising, so add yours to the caption where your state asks. (Contractors State License Board (California))
- Paid or gifted posts about your business must say so under the FTC's Endorsement Guides. (Federal Trade Commission)
What can't ViewGum do for a plumbing company yet?
- It can't use your own photos or footage yet; every short is built in 3D from your line.
- It doesn't post for you: you export an MP4 with post copy for each app.
- It shows a typical job, never your own work.
- It shows how plumbing works in general. It can't diagnose a customer's own leak or clog, and it doesn't say what your local plumbing code requires.
Can I make these shorts from my AI assistant?
Yes. Connect ViewGum once to Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini or another assistant below, then ask for a short in the chat. It shows the price and waits for your yes.
Also 15 terminal agents and code editors, such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor and VS Code.
