App Concept

BuriedUtility Pro

An app that helps homeowners and contractors assess load-bearing capacity over buried utilities (septic pipes, water lines, etc.) based on pipe material, depth, soil type, and load specs. Provides safety thresholds, code references, and recommendations for protective measures.

Key Features

Input pipe type, depth, soil conditions, and load details
Calculates pressure distribution and safety margin
Provides code-based recommendations (e.g., concrete encasement, load spreading)
Generates report for permit applications or contractor discussion

Target Users: Homeowners, landscape contractors, and pool installers needing to build near buried septic or utility lines

Revenue Model: $4.99 per report or $9.99/month subscription for unlimited reports and premium code references
