App Concept

PipeSleuth - Noise & Leak Finder

PipeSleuth is a diagnostic app that uses your smartphone's microphone and optional moisture sensors to record and analyze intermittent plumbing sounds and leaks. It creates a timeline of events, compares them against known failure signatures, and guides you step-by-step to the root cause—saving time and unnecessary replacements.

Key Features

Continuous sound recording with noise event tagging and abnormality detection
Moisture sensor integration and data logging for intermittent leak capture
Signature library comparing recorded noise patterns to common issues (PRV, water hammer, pipe expansion)
Step-by-step diagnostic workflow with guided troubleshooting steps

Target Users: Homeowners and property owners experiencing recurring plumbing noises or intermittent leaks, and plumbers needing remote diagnostic support

Revenue Model: Freemium with free basic diagnosis and paid subscription for advanced analytics, signature library access, and unlimited sensor integration
