The problem

Why plumbers lose jobs to voicemail

After-hours calls go to voicemail

Most plumbing emergencies happen nights and weekends. If your team isn't picking up, the homeowner is already calling the next plumber on the list.

Your dispatcher is flooded

One storm or a cold snap and your phone lines melt. Your best leads sit on hold, and half of them hang up before you ever hear their name.

Commodity leads, low margin

Paying for shared HomeAdvisor-style leads means racing 4 other plumbers to the phone. Outbound captures direct calls from your own marketing โ€” no middleman.

How it works for plumbers

Every call, handled โ€” day or night

The AI is trained on plumbing business vocabulary and call flows. Here's how it handles the calls that matter most.

01
2 a.m. burst pipe

AI answers, asks the location and severity, flags it as an emergency, and pages your on-call tech with the full details already logged.

02
Saturday water heater

Customer needs it replaced by Monday morning. AI confirms make/model, gets photos via text, and books a quote visit for 9 a.m. Saturday.

03
Busy signal overflow

When your dispatcher is on another call, Outbound picks up the overflow so no homeowner hears a busy tone.

04
Routine service scheduling

Annual water heater flush, drain cleaning, sump pump check-ups โ€” all booked without tying up your team.

Real call, real capture

Here's what a plumber call sounds like

AI Answering ยท Live
Caller
Hi, my basement is flooding โ€” I think my water heater burst.
Outbound AI
I'm sorry to hear that โ€” that's a priority. I'm going to page one of our plumbers right now. What's the address and best callback number?
Caller
1423 Oak Lane, Tampa. 813-555-0142.
Outbound AI
Got it. Shut off the main water valve if you can โ€” usually by the street or in the garage. A tech will call you within 10 minutes. You'll also get a text confirmation.

FAQ

Questions plumbers ask us

Can the AI actually tell an emergency from a routine request?+
Yes. We train it on plumbing-specific vocabulary โ€” burst pipe, no hot water, sewage backup, slow drain โ€” and it prioritizes and pages based on severity. Non-emergency calls are booked at the next open slot.
Will it book a job without my approval?+
Only for services and price ranges you pre-approve. Anything outside your rules gets flagged for your team to confirm โ€” you stay in control.
How does it handle service areas?+
We set up your ZIP codes and service radius during onboarding. Calls from outside your area are politely declined or routed to a message you define.
What about Spanish-speaking customers?+
The AI handles English and Spanish out of the box and can be extended to any language. It detects the caller's language automatically.
