An AI receptionist for plumbers
Plumbing calls are urgent, often after hours, and usually come while you are in the middle of another job. A receptionist that answers and sorts them matters more here than in most trades.
Emergencies versus routine jobs
A burst pipe or sewage backup needs a different response than a dripping faucet. The call flow can ask screening questions, such as whether water is actively flowing and whether the main is shut off, then transfer true emergencies to you right away and book routine work for a normal slot.
What to collect on every call
- Name, phone number, and service address
- What is happening and where in the house
- Whether water is on and whether the customer can shut it off
- Whether the customer owns or rents
- Preferred times for a visit
Safe handling
The receptionist should not diagnose problems or quote prices it was not given. It can offer general safety guidance you approve, such as turning off the main valve, and it should escalate anything that sounds dangerous.
Setup in practice
We write the call flow in your words, connect your calendar and inbox, and run test calls with you before going live. Read the full picture on our AI receptionist for contractors page, or see how it works.
Common questions
Can it tell an emergency from a routine call?
It follows the screening rules you approve. You decide what counts as an emergency and who gets called.
What if the caller is upset?
Upset callers should be transferred to a person instead of handled by the system.
