App Concept

FlangeFix Pro

FlangeFix Pro helps plumbers quickly diagnose toilet flange issues like misalignment, irregular rough-in distances, or sticking flappers. Using AR measurement and a decision tree, it recommends the best fix (shims, offset flanges, adjustable repair rings, etc.) and walks through installation steps. No more concrete breaking or trial-and-error.

Key Features

AR measuring tool to capture flange angle, distance to wall, and bolt hole alignment
Diagnostic wizard that asks symptoms and recommends repair strategy based on severity and code
Step-by-step repair guides with videos for common fixes (shimming, offset flanges, repair rings)
Parts finder that links to purchasing adjustable flanges, flapper valves, or closet bolts compatible with the measured dimensions

Target Users: Plumbers, maintenance technicians, and handymen who frequently deal with non-standard toilet flange installations and repairs.

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription (e.g., $9.99/month or $99/year) with a free tier limited to basic diagnostics and one guide per month.

Problem Reports (4)

An angled closet flange that is 1/2" out of level causes toilet leaks during a budget remodel.

HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, or other field service3MediumCarpenter/Handyman

A toilet flapper intermittently stays up after flushing, requiring manual intervention to close it, and chain adjustments only work temporarily.

HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, or other field service3MediumHomeowner

A worker cannot remove or replace a toilet flange because the anchor points and flange holes don't align, and the steel flange won't fit.

HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, or other field service3MediumPlumber or Maintenance Technician

Need to install a toilet but the flange is only 7.75 inches from the studs, making it too close to the wall for a standard toilet to fit.
