Recurring leak in same roof/wall corner persists despite full roof replacement, likely a flashing or building envelope issue.
Roofers only address shingles, not the roof-to-wall transition or building envelope, leaving the root cause (flashing/stucco assembly) unresolved.

Workarounds Described
- replaced entire roof to fix a leak
- repeatedly hired multiple roofing companies for patching
Implied Software Gaps
- Software that performs root-cause analysis of building envelope leaks using photos and descriptions
- Platform that connects homeowners to forensic leak specialists rather than general roofers
App Concept
LeakDetect Pro
A mobile app connecting homeowners with certified building envelope specialists, using thermal imaging and water testing to diagnose hidden leaks. Bundles diagnostic report with vetted contractor referrals to fix the root cause without trial-and-error roofing.
Key Features
- AI-assisted fault analysis of leak patterns and building photos
- Direct booking of forensic leak specialists and building envelope consultants
- Thermal imaging camera integration for DIY inspection
- Guaranteed fix or money-back on diagnostic report
Target Users: Homeowners in storm-prone areas (e.g., Houston) with recurring water intrusion issues, especially those with stucco, parapet, or complex roof geometries.
Revenue Model: $99 per diagnostic report, $199 for report + thermal imaging camera rental, referral fee from contractors (15% of repair cost)
