A plumber struggles to fit a DWV bathroom setup with proper slope in limited subfloor space while avoiding joists.

No specific software mentioned, but the problem of fitting DWV in tight spaces with proper slope is a design challenge; existing CAD or plumbing design software may be too complex or not tailored for quick, code-compliant layouts in constrained spaces.

PipePlan Pro

PipePlan Pro is a mobile app that helps plumbers design compliant DWV layouts in tight spaces. Point your phone at the subfloor, input joist locations and existing drain positions, and the app suggests optimal pipe routing with proper slope, automatically accounting for local plumbing code. It replaces manual sketches and mental math with instant, code-verified plans.

Key Features
  • Augmented reality (AR) scanning of subfloor dimensions and joist positions
  • Automatic DWV layout generation with slope calculations per code
  • Library of standard fittings and pipe sizes for quick drag-and-drop
  • Exportable diagrams for permits and client approvals
Target Users: Residential plumbers and apprentices in the US who install or repair DWV systems in tight crawl spaces or basements
Revenue Model: Freemium with a $29/mo pro subscription for unlimited projects and code exports
