BEFORE

Missed Emergency Calls

Burst pipes and sewer backups happen at 2 AM. Your phone goes to voicemail—customer calls your competitor.

Can't Answer While on a Job

You're under a sink or in a crawl space. Phone rings but you can't pick up. That $1,200 job goes elsewhere.

No Work-Life Balance

Phone rings during dinner, kids' events, and vacations. You're always "on call" mentally.

Losing to Bigger Companies

Large plumbing companies have 24/7 call centers. You can't compete on responsiveness.

AFTER

AI answers in 2 seconds, gathers details, and dispatches you immediately for urgent jobs. 24/7/365.

AI books appointments while you work. Customer info and job details waiting when you're done.

Answering Service for Plumbing Companies FAQ

How does the answering service know it's a plumbing emergency?

Our plumber phone answering service is specifically trained for plumbing businesses. It recognizes emergency keywords like "burst pipe," "flooding," "no hot water," "gas smell," and "sewage backup." When detected, it immediately flags the call as urgent and follows your emergency dispatch protocol—whether that's calling your on-call technician, sending an SMS alert, or both.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI answering service?

Most customers don't realize it's automated. Our plumbing answering service sounds natural, handles interruptions well, and is trained on real plumbing conversations. Many of our plumbing clients tell us customers compliment their "receptionist." You can customize the voice, name, and personality to match your brand.

Can I still answer calls myself during business hours?

Yes! Most plumbers use "After Hours Mode"—you handle calls during the day, and the AI takes over at night and on weekends. You can also set it to only answer when you're already on a call or don't pick up within a few rings.

Does it integrate with ServiceTitan/Housecall Pro?

Yes, our answering service for plumbers integrates with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and other popular field service management software. New jobs and customer info sync automatically—no double data entry required.

How much does an answering service for plumbing companies cost?

Our answering service for plumbing companies starts at $49/month. Compare that to $500-1,500/month for traditional call centers or $3,500+/month for a full-time receptionist. One emergency job more than covers a year of service.
