• Roof-snow melt infiltrating vent stacks

When the Johnson family discovered a burst ¾-inch copper line beneath their kitchen floor, water had already saturated the hardwood. Traditional contractors quoted “ballpark” numbers ranging from $6,000 to $11,000—too vague for comfort. Their plumber opened the CountBricks app and completed a live walkthrough.
• 14 minutes of voice notes captured pipe length, floor type, and cabinet removal scope
• AI takeoff measured 32 sq ft of hardwood replacement and 18 ft of new PEX-B
• The proposal, including drying equipment and floor refinishing, totaled $7,430 with a 4-day timeline
The Johnsons signed electronically within an hour. Because CountBricks synced the approved estimate to an invoice schedule, materials were ordered the same day, and the kitchen was back to normal in under a week.
• Record ambient temperature during the walkthrough—AI will flag freeze risk and suggest insulation
• Use the “Material Substitution” toggle to compare copper vs. PEX pricing instantly
• Attach moisture-meter readings as photos; CountBricks embeds them in the report for insurance adjusters
• Activate automatic follow-up emails to remind homeowners about preventive maintenance six months after repair
Water repair often uncovers hidden opportunities—kitchen remodels, sump-pump upgrades, or whole-home filtration.
