App Concept
PipePlanner Pro
PipePlanner Pro is a mobile app that helps DIY homeowners and handymen design correct condensate pump discharge and other plumbing modifications. Simply draw your existing pipes on a photo or blueprint, specify your new additions, and the app evaluates code compliance and suggests optimal fittings and slope. No more guessing about standpipes, p-traps, or elbows.
Key Features
- Photo overlay: draw pipes on a photo of your actual space
- Code compliance check based on IPC or local code
- Fitting recommendation (e.g., use 45° elbows for 30° turn)
- Slope calculator (1/4" per foot) and standpipe height guide
Target Users: DIY homeowners and handymen doing plumbing modifications in residential settings
Revenue Model: Freemium: free basic drawing and slope calculator; $9.99 one-time purchase for code check and fitting recommendations
