Plumbers
How can an AI receptionist help a plumber?
An AI receptionist helps a plumbing business by replying instantly to emergency calls while you are under a sink or on a job, capturing the fault details and address, answering common questions about boiler servicing and bathroom installations, and booking appointments, so no emergency call goes to a competitor while your hands are full.

Example call flow
The following is an example to show how the AI receptionist works. Every setup is tailored to your business on a free discovery call.
- 1.A homeowner calls about a burst pipe flooding their kitchen.
- 2.You are under a sink on another job and cannot answer. The AI sends a text within 10 seconds: "Hi, sorry we missed your call. Is this a plumbing emergency? Reply here and we will call you back as soon as possible."
- 3.The homeowner replies: "Yes, I have a burst pipe under the kitchen sink and water is everywhere." The AI captures this and sends you a notification.
- 4.The AI asks: "What is your postcode, and can you turn off your water supply at the stopcock?" The homeowner replies.
- 5.You receive a summary: emergency, burst pipe, postcode, water status. You call back between jobs and can tell them you are on the way with the right fittings.
