AI phone receptionist
Answers with your emergency script—asks if water is still running, whether the main is shut, and whether the issue is sewer, supply, or fixture—then books the right skill set.
Plumbing
AI Receptionist & Missed-Call Text Back for Plumbing Companies
Water does not wait for Monday. A burst supply line at Saturday brunch or a sewer backup on a holiday weekend will go to whichever plumber answers first—and that is rarely the shop still finishing a slab leak across town.
The problem
Plumbing emergencies compress decision time. Homeowners who hit voicemail do not leave thoughtful messages; they scroll Google and call the next listing with a green “Open” badge.
- Burst pipes and active leaks need an immediate answer plus shutoff guidance—not a callback two hours later when the ceiling is already soaked.
- Weekend and holiday volume hits when the office is closed; cell phones on trucks get buried under job-site noise.
- Drain, water heater, and jetting leads mix with true emergencies; without triage, the wrong tech rolls or the urgent job waits behind a routine snake.
- After-hours rate questions get answered inconsistently—or not at all—so price-shopping callers bounce before you can quote.
What we install
An AI receptionist built for plumbing urgency: shutoff prompts, emergency vs. routine sorting, and automations that recover the callers who hang up mid-ring.
Missed-call text-back
Anyone who cannot get through gets an SMS with a short intake form and booking options so a soaked homeowner is not left refreshing your voicemail.
Weekend & after-hours coverage
Your published emergency fee and arrival windows stay consistent every night and holiday—no improvising rates over a noisy truck radio.
Job-type routing
Separate hydro-jetting, water heater, slab leak, and drain calls so dispatch does not send a junior tech to a main-line backup.
How it works for plumbing
1. Define emergency vs. next-day work
We document shutoff guidance, fee language, and which symptoms escalate to on-call. The AI follows that playbook instead of guessing under pressure.
2. Wire booking and tech alerts
Confirmed jobs and structured notes hit your calendar and notify the on-call plumber. Photos or video links from the text-back form travel with the ticket when you want them.
3. Protect weekend revenue
Saturday floods and holiday backups stop being a coin flip. You review booked emergencies weekly and refine which ZIPs and job types stay on the emergency board.
Plumbing FAQ
It walks through your approved shutoff guidance, collects address and access notes, then books or escalates. It does not replace a plumber on site—it turns the ring into a dispatched job.

You write the fee language; we put it in the script so sticker shock happens on the phone—not in the driveway.
