App Concept

Spot the Drip

Spot the Drip is a mobile app that helps homeowners diagnose the exact source of indoor water leaks (chimney, bathroom vents, shower pans) by following structured, non-destructive test protocols. Using visual guides and simple tools like a spray bottle and food coloring, users can differentiate between rain penetration, condensation, and tile weeping, saving hundreds on trial-and-error repairs.

Key Features

Interactive leak diagnosis wizard with branching questions
Augmented reality (AR) overlay to mark suspected leak areas
Video tutorials for DIY dye tests and hose simulation
Report generation to share findings with contractors

Target Users: Homeowners experiencing unexplained leaks in roofs, vents, or showers who want to avoid costly misdiagnosis before hiring a professional.

Revenue Model: Freemium: basic diagnosis flow free; advanced AR features, detailed reports, and contractor matching require monthly subscription ($4.99) or per-report fee ($9.99).
