AI Chatbot for Plumbers (Emergency Triage + Booking 24/7)
Burst pipe at 2am. If your phone goes to voicemail, the homeowner calls the next plumber in Google. Our chatbot triages the emergency, routes to your on-call number, and books the non-emergency jobs while you focus on the work.
The problem.
Plumbing emergencies generate 3-5x normal job revenue - emergency call-out fees, same-day rates, and follow-on work. But you only capture that revenue if you answer first. Most plumbers miss 40-60% of after-hours calls because the phone is off or the team is on jobs. Each missed emergency call is $500-$2,000 of potential revenue walking to a competitor.
What the chatbot does about it.
Emergency vs scheduled triage on first message. If emergency: immediate route to on-call number with the customer's address. If scheduled: appointment booking with service type, address, and deposit. Job-type qualification (leak, drain, hot water, installation, gas). The Friday summary tells you every inquiry you received that week.

Why does a plumbing company need an AI chatbot?
Plumbing emergencies don't happen during business hours. A burst pipe, a blocked drain, or no hot water - these calls come at midnight. If your voicemail picks up, the homeowner calls the next plumber they can find. Our chatbot answers every call, qualifies the emergency, and either books the slot or routes to your on-call plumber.
What questions does the plumbing chatbot ask?
The intake flow asks: emergency or scheduled? Type of issue (leak, blocked drain, hot water, installation, other). Property type (residential or commercial). Address and access details. Best contact number. For emergencies, it routes immediately to on-call. For scheduled work, it books the appointment slot.
