Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours.

A burst pipe at 11pm. A water heater leaking on Sunday morning. A clogged main on Thanksgiving. The phone rings — and if it rolls to voicemail, the homeowner is calling the next plumber on Google before you finish dinner.

Your service calls run $150–400. Water heater installs $1,200–4,000. Sewer line work $3,000–15,000+. Even 5–10 missed emergencies a month is $5,000 to $20,000 of revenue going to your competitor.

A generic AI receptionist will get plumbing wrong.

A "water in the basement" call needs different qualifying than a "schedule an estimate" call. A "no hot water" call in January with elderly occupants is more urgent than the same call in July. A "sewer backup" call needs to start with "is sewage coming up in any fixtures right now?"

Real scenarios our plumbing AI handles

Caller (9pm Sunday): "Water's coming through my ceiling."

Alex: "That's urgent — first, do you know where your water main shutoff is? I want to stop the damage while we get someone to you." [walks them through shutoff if needed] "I'm texting Mike right now. He'll call you back within 30 minutes. What's your best number and address?"

Caller: "My water heater isn't making hot water."

Alex: "Got it. Is it a tank or tankless system? And do you know roughly how old it is? Any leaks at the base?" [qualifies] [checks calendar] "I can have someone out tomorrow between 8 and 10. What's the address?"

Caller: "How much does a new water heater install cost?"

Alex: "Tank water heaters usually run $1,500–3,000 installed depending on size and fuel type. Tankless is more — usually $3,500 to $6,000+. We come out to give an accurate quote — it's free. Want me to schedule one?"

Caller: "I have a clogged drain."

Alex: "Which fixture — sink, toilet, shower, or main line? Any backup into other fixtures when you run water?" [qualifies severity] "We can usually get out same-day for clogs. What's the address?"

Plumbing FAQ

Will the AI know plumbing terminology? +

Yes. The AI is tuned to understand fixtures, supply lines, drains, water heaters (tank and tankless), main shutoffs, sewer lines, and common manufacturers. If a caller describes a leak or clog, the AI uses the right follow-up questions.

What about emergency calls like burst pipes? +

Emergency triggers are defined with you during setup: active leaks with property damage, sewer backups, no water in the home, frozen pipes, water heater leaking onto a floor. Emergencies route to you immediately via urgent SMS, with target callback within 30 minutes. The AI can also walk callers through finding their main shutoff valve while they wait.

Does it work with Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan? +

Standard integration is Google Calendar. Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan integration is available as a $99/month add-on via Zapier or direct API.

Do you handle septic systems? +

If your business services septic, the AI handles it in the same flow. If you don't, we configure the AI to refer septic-only callers to a partner business or politely decline the work.

What if a caller asks about pricing? +

The AI quotes ranges based on what you tell us during setup — typically "service calls run $150–250 depending on the issue." For specific quotes on installs or major work, the AI defers to you and captures a callback request.
