App Concept

DrainWise Pro

A mobile app that guides homeowners through diagnosing recurrent drain clogs by answering a few questions and optionally taking a photo with their phone camera. It uses a simple decision tree to identify likely causes (e.g., tree roots, grease buildup, broken pipe) and recommends the correct drain cleaner, DIY repair kit, or professional service. No plumbing knowledge required.

Key Features
  • Step-by-step diagnostic quiz with yes/no questions and photo upload
  • Auto-identify likely causes using image recognition and common symptom patterns
  • Personalized recommendation: product to buy, DIY steps, or plumber referral
  • Track recurring issues over time with a maintenance log
Target Users: Homeowners in single-family homes who experience clogged drains multiple times a year and want to fix the root cause without calling a plumber.
Revenue Model: Free basic diagnosis, $2.99 per detailed report with product recommendation, or a $14.99/year subscription for unlimited diagnoses and maintenance tracking
