Lead capture, not legal advice
The AI captures requests and routes edge cases to you.

The math

Plumbers lose $125,000/year to missed calls.

Average residential job: $350–$850. Emergency call? $1,500–$3,000. Miss 5 calls a day while on jobs: $1,750–$4,250 walking out the door every single day.

On emergency calls, customers don't leave a voicemail — they call the next plumber on Google. The AI catches every call before they get to #2.

new revenue, first month

47 jobs captured in my first month. I was averaging maybe 28. The difference is every call gets answered, every time. Even when I'm under a sink.

close rate on callbacks (was 40%)

Emergency calls used to go to my personal cell. I'd miss half of them on big jobs. Now the AI answers, texts me the address, and I call back in 5 minutes. Close rate went from 40% to 85%.

Solo operation. I can't answer when I'm in a crawl space. Lost a $4,200 repiping job once because I called back 45 minutes late and they'd already booked someone else. Never again.

Speed wins every emergency job

On burst pipe calls, customers book the first plumber who answers — not the one who calls back 45 minutes later.

Freeze season, slab leaks, main breaks — emergency calls happen 24/7. Every minute you're unreachable is a $2,000+ job going to whoever picks up first.

Common questions

Smart questions plumbers ask.

Can it handle emergency calls — burst pipe, gas smell, flooded basement?+

Yes, and that's where it shines. The AI opens with 'Is this an emergency?' and if yes, captures the address, problem description, and contact immediately. It tells the caller a tech will call back within [your set time], then texts you instantly with everything it captured. Emergency vocabulary is built in.

What if I'm in a crawl space and can't call back for 20 minutes?+

The AI tells callers you'll call back shortly. It captures every detail: name, address, problem, best callback number. When you surface, you have a text with everything. The customer has been told you're coming — they're not calling your competitor.

Will it learn my service area — which zip codes I cover?+

During setup, you tell the AI your service area. If someone calls from outside it, the AI still captures their info (they might be worth taking) and notes they're outside your usual range. You decide whether to call back.

Can it book service appointments, not just capture leads?+

The AI captures the lead and promises a callback. Actual appointment booking with calendar integration is coming in Q2 2026. For now: every lead texted to you instantly, you book on the callback. That alone captures $30,000–$50,000+ in annual revenue most plumbers are currently leaving on the table.

Does it handle Spanish-speaking customers?+

Yes. The AI handles English and Spanish. Essential for plumbing businesses in Texas, Florida, California, and the Southwest.

How does it learn what I charge for common jobs?+

It doesn't quote prices — that's the right call. It tells callers 'we'll confirm pricing when your tech follows up' or 'our tech will go over pricing on-site.' That's exactly how you want it handled.

What does it cost?+

$99/mo. Just forward your calls. AI phone number, lead texts, and call answering included. 14-day free trial, no credit card. Cancel anytime, 30-day money-back after trial.

How long does setup take?+

About 5 minutes. Submit your phone number, get a local AI number by text, call it to test the greeting, then forward your line when it sounds right.
