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.
