Good point...videos help with surface-level stuff, but plumbing surprises usually lurk deeper down. Still, maybe the app could at least clue homeowners into early warning signs? Might save me from crawling under another soggy crawlspace this week, lol.
"Still, maybe the app could at least clue homeowners into early warning signs?"
Exactly! Catching things early is half the battle. I've had my share of crawlspace adventures too—nothing quite like mud and mystery leaks to spice up your weekend, right? 😂 But seriously, even basic alerts or symptom-checkers could help homeowners know when it's time to call in the pros, rather than waiting until they're knee-deep in trouble. Could save a lot of headaches (and laundry).
I get the appeal of early warnings, but honestly, apps might make people overly confident. I've seen neighbors ignore obvious leaks because their phone didn't ping them... sometimes common sense beats tech. Maybe we should encourage homeowners to trust their eyes and ears more often?
Good points—tech's great, but it's just a tool. I've had clients swear their pipes were fine because an app said so, while water dripped right in front of them. Maybe the question is, how do we balance tech convenience with old-school observation skills?
You're spot on about tech being just a tool. Reminds me of when I first installed smart leak sensors around my house. Thought I was all set—until one day, the app kept insisting everything was dry, but I could literally hear dripping behind the laundry room wall. Sure enough, pulled out the washer and found a slow leak that had been going unnoticed for days. Tech's great for convenience, but nothing beats actually paying attention to your home and trusting your senses. Maybe the trick is using apps as a helpful backup rather than relying on them completely. It's like driving with GPS—you still gotta look at the road once in a while, right?
