    AI Receptionist for Plumbers — Capture Every Emergency Call, 24/7

    Burst pipes and sewage backups don't wait for business hours. Dottie answers the moment a panicked customer calls, gathers the details, and books the job — so the emergency that woke them up becomes your booked call, not your competitor's.

    The Problem

    Why plumbers can't afford a missed call

    Plumbing is the textbook emergency trade: water is actively damaging a home and the customer needs help now. They will call down the list until someone answers. After-hours coverage isn't a nice-to-have — it's where the highest-ticket jobs live.

    Burst pipes, flooding, and sewage backups come in nights, weekends, and holidays.

    Traditional answering services just take a message — the lead still has to be called back, often too late.

    Plumbers on a job can't break to answer the phone, so the next call goes unanswered.

    High-value emergency work goes to whichever shop picks up first.

    Live Example

    How Dottie handles a burst-pipe emergency

    2:15am on a Saturday. A pipe let go under the kitchen sink and water is spreading.

    CallerThere's water all over my kitchen floor, I think a pipe burst — can someone come out?
    Dottie AIOkay, let's get this handled. First, do you know where your main water shut-off is? Turning that off will stop the flooding while we get a plumber to you.
    CallerI think it's in the basement — okay, I'll go shut it off.
    Dottie AIPerfect. I'm booking you as an emergency call right now. What's the address and best number to reach you? I'll have our on-call plumber confirm an arrival time within the next few minutes.

    Dottie calmed the customer, gave first-step damage control, captured the job, and dispatched your on-call plumber — a high-ticket emergency repair won at 2am while your competitors slept through their voicemail.
