Turn Every Emergency Into Recurring Business
AI-powered system that captures emergency plumbing calls 24/7, books drain cleaning appointments, and converts service calls into high-value water heater and repipe jobs.
Challenges Unique to Plumbing Contractors
Midnight Emergency Calls
Burst pipes and water heater failures happen at 2am—miss these and lose $500-$3,000
AI answers instantly, assesses urgency, and dispatches nearest plumber
One-Time vs. Recurring Customers
Emergency customers never come back—leaving money on the table
Automated follow-ups for drain maintenance, water heater checks, and inspections
Low-Value Drain Calls
Spend $150 on a drain cleaning when customer needs $8,000 sewer replacement
AI pre-qualifies age of plumbing, history of clogs, flags high-value opportunities
Commercial vs. Residential Mix
Commercial jobs require different pricing, permits, and scheduling complexity
Separate workflows for commercial accounts with custom pricing and compliance
