App Concept
ShowerGuard Pro
An app that lets homeowners document shower defects (pooling, grout damage) with photos and water tests, then generates a risk assessment report and connects them with vetted tile/waterproofing specialists. It automates inspection checklists and provides DIY repair guidance for minor issues.
Key Features
- Guided water pooling detection using level and video capture
- AI-based waterproofing risk analysis (RedGard, Schluter, etc.)
- Step-by-step repair documentation and contractor communication log
- Directory of certified tile and waterproofing contractors with reviews
Target Users: Homeowners who have recently had tile showers installed or repaired and suspect waterproofing issues, especially those with second-floor bathrooms.
Revenue Model: $9.99 per inspection report or $19.99/month subscription for unlimited reports and contractor matching
