For Plumbing Contractors

Turn urgent calls into booked jobs — before they call the next plumber.

When a pipe bursts, the customer calls three plumbers and books the first one who picks up. Miss that call and the job — and the water damage clock — belongs to someone else. We build AI systems that answer, triage emergency from routine by your rules, get the job booked and dispatched, and chase the invoice so you get paid faster. You stay in control of pricing and what counts as an emergency.

The Problem

In plumbing, speed to answer is speed to booked.

The jobs are urgent and the caller is already dialing your competitors. The leaks aren't in demand — they're in the seconds after the phone rings and the days after the work is done.

Emergencies hit voicemail

Burst pipes and sewage backups don't wait for business hours. A missed after-hours call is a flooded basement booked by the next plumber on the list.

Every call sounds urgent

Without triage, a slow drain and a gushing main get the same panicked response — so real emergencies wait while routine calls burn your on-call tech's night.

Dispatch is a guessing game

Who's closest, who's qualified, who's free? Wrong answers mean windshield time, callbacks, and a tech showing up without the right parts.

Invoices sit unpaid

The work's done but the invoice went out late and nobody followed up. Cash you've already earned is stuck in a pile on the office desk.

The kind of systems we build for a plumbing shop.

Representative examples — shaped around your service area, rules, and tools. We start with the leak costing you the most. You approve the rules; anything outside them escalates to a human.

Emergency & routine triage

Inbound calls are qualified against your severity rules—burst pipe, no water, sewage, and gas-smell reports can be flagged for immediate human escalation while routine work moves toward the schedule.

Emergencies and safety calls route straight to your on-call person, not automation.

Service-area & job-type intake

Confirms the address is in your area, captures the job type and equipment, and gathers photos before a truck rolls — so techs arrive with the right parts and you're not driving to jobs you can't take.

Technician matching & dispatch

Matches the job to the closest, qualified, available tech and slots it into the right window — cutting drive time and the "who's taking this one?" scramble.

Your dispatcher keeps final say on assignments.

Arrival updates & follow-up

Automatic “on the way” texts and arrival windows reduce “where’s my plumber?” calls, while consistent estimate follow-up keeps more open quotes from going cold.

Invoice follow-up & renewals

Invoices go out clean and get chased automatically until they're paid — shrinking your billing cycle — while membership and recurring-service customers get reminded when they're due.

Call-source profitability

See which channels bring emergencies vs. tire-kickers, what each lead source actually costs, and which job types and techs make money — live, not months later.

Works With Your Tools

Built around the stack you already run — not against it.

Where a tool offers an API and you grant access, we integrate directly. Where it doesn't, we bridge it or run alongside it. We'll confirm exactly what's possible during Discovery.

Before & After

A 2 a.m. burst-pipe call — today, and with the system.

The call today
  1. Pipe bursts at 2 a.m.; the customer calls, panicked.
  2. It rings out to voicemail or a generic answering service.
  3. They hang up and call the next plumber, who picks up.
  4. You find the voicemail at 7 a.m. — the job's long gone.
The call with the system
  1. The call is answered or gets an immediate text-back.
  2. It's triaged as an emergency by your rules and the address is confirmed in-area.
  3. Your on-call tech is alerted with the details and photos.
  4. The job's on the board, the customer's updated, and the invoice is queued to chase.

You define what counts as an emergency, who it escalates to, and every message the system is allowed to send.

For most plumbing shops we start at the phones, because that's where the urgent money leaks. A typical first build answers or texts back eligible missed calls in seconds, triages emergency vs. routine against your rules, routes emergencies to your on-call person, books routine work, and drops everything onto a live dispatch board. From there we add invoice follow-up, memberships, and the profitability dashboard.

Illustrative example and targets — actual scope depends on your call volume, service area, and after-hours model. We map the real numbers with you on the call.

Which we target first depends on where you're leaking — we set a baseline on the call so you can see the movement, not a generic industry benchmark.

How It Works

From a day on-site to working systems in about a week.

Step 01

Discovery Day

We spend a day on how your shop really runs — call flow, triage, dispatch, billing — and leave you a ranked plan of the highest-impact fixes and what they're worth.

Step 02

Implementation Week

We build and deploy the first systems, wire them into your tools, train your office, and document everything so it's yours.

Step 03

Ongoing Optimization

We keep tuning the triage rules, add automations, and make sure the numbers keep moving the right way.

FAQ

Straight answers before you book.

You define the severity rules. A burst pipe, no water, sewage backup, or gas smell can be flagged as an emergency and routed straight to your on-call person; a slow drain or a faucet install is handled as routine and booked. The system follows your rules, not its own judgment.

No. It handles the repetitive first touch — catching calls, triaging by your rules, and booking routine work — and hands the rest to your team. Your dispatcher keeps final say on assignments and priorities.

Usually yes — we route around your current number so you keep it. Exact setup depends on your carrier, which we confirm during Discovery.

After-hours emergencies route to your on-call person per your rules. Routine after-hours requests get an immediate text-back and are booked for the next available window instead of lost to voicemail.

Often yes. We integrate with field-service and accounting tools that expose an API — ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceM8, QuickBooks and others — subject to your account access. Where a direct integration isn't available, we bridge it or run alongside it. We're independent and not affiliated with these vendors.

Yes. Automated invoice follow-up to shorten your billing cycle is a common early win, alongside estimate follow-up and membership renewals.

Yes. You approve the message templates, the triage and pricing rules, and what the system is allowed to say. Nothing goes out that you haven't signed off on.

It defaults to a human. When a call or request falls outside its rules, it captures the details and hands off to your team rather than guessing.
