# Livestreaming Plumbing Platforms The 'Plunjr' App Connects Plumbers to Customers Via Video Call By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2021-01-28 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plumbing-platform References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-app-updates-make-the-plumber-in-your-pocket-even-easier-301215847.html) & [plunjr](https://plunjr.com/) Plunjr is a cheekily named yet highly innovative and useful plumbing platform that is designed to make it possible for you to go about fixing unsavory plumbing issues in your bathroom with the help of a plumber. However, what's great about this mobile app is the fact that it doesn't require the plumber to set foot in your home. Rather, the app lets you peruse and connect with licensed plumbers in your area, who can provide step-by-step guidance via video chat. What' smore, the app also makes it possible for you to shop for any extra parts you might need. In addition to the safety factor of minimizing contact with people outside your household amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Plunjr plumbing platform also costs less than a traditional plumber appointment, ensuring that you won't needlessly flush your money down the drain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Livestreaming Plumbing Services:** The Plunjr app is an example of how plumbing services are being offered through video chat services and offers opportunities for innovation in smart home tech and augmented reality. - **Remote Professional Services:** The remote delivery of services through video chat has the potential to disrupt industries such as healthcare, legal, and consulting services. - **Virtual Marketplaces for Services:** Virtual platforms that connect professionals to clients through video is a disruptive innovation opportunity for industries such as cleaning services, home repair, and IT support. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plumbing Services:** The plumbing industry can leverage the use of video and other technologies to offer remote services and expand their customer base. - **Smart Home Technology:** The integration of video chat services in smart home technology can provide new innovation opportunities for the home improvement industry. - **Virtual Shopping:** The use of augmented reality in virtual marketplaces can revolutionize the way customers shop for services and products from home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Public Bathroom Location Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bathroom-app.md) - [Crowdsourced Restroom Code Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restroom-code-maps.md) - [Health-Supporting Female Plumbers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-continence-week.md) - [Mobile Gaming Port Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pluvia-app.md) - [Connective Handy Services Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handyfriend.md) - [Streamlined Skilled Trades Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trades-app.md) - [Practical Professional Advice Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mana-app.md) - [Cheeky Bathroom Plungers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-plunger.md) - [Clean Bathroom-Locating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woloo.md)
