App Concept
CodeDrain Pro
An app that lets plumbers input job site constraints (pipe location, trap depth limits, appliance type) and generates a code-compliant drain diagram and parts list. Saves hours of research and prevents costly rework.
Key Features
- Input constraints like trap depth, horizontal run, and distance to fixture
- Auto-generates piping diagrams with dimensions and annotations
- Provides a bill of materials with links to purchase
- Includes local plumbing code lookup by jurisdiction
Target Users: Licensed plumbers and apprentices in residential and commercial plumbing, especially those handling ice machine and appliance installations.
Revenue Model: $9.99 per diagram or $19.99/mo subscription for unlimited diagrams
