You fix the leaks. We'll fix the missed calls.
AutoAnswer puts an AI receptionist on every call, text, and web lead, day and night. You stay on the job, your crew stays busy, and every burst pipe, backed-up drain, and water heater call still gets handled.
You're the owner, the dispatcher, the estimator, and the on-call plumber.
Most small plumbing shops run on one phone: yours. That's how a 40-hour business turns into a 70-hour week. Here's where those hours go, and what AutoAnswer takes off your plate.
Calls you can't pick up
You're under a sink, in a crawlspace, or snaking a sewer line when the phone rings. The caller doesn't leave a voicemail. They call the next company on the list.
Hard freezes and storm backups
One hard freeze bursts pipes across town. One heavy rain backs up every basement drain. You can't hire and train a CSR fast enough for a three-day surge.
After-hours emergencies
A burst pipe at 2 AM means somebody has to answer. Right now that somebody is you, or an answering service that takes a message while the water spreads.
Paid leads going to voicemail
You pay for Google Ads, Local Services Ads, and lead sites. Every missed call is money already spent, sent to a competitor.
Price shoppers and tire-kickers
"How much to unclog a drain?" Quoting over the phone and driving out for free estimates that never close eats your evenings and your fuel budget.
Scheduling and rescheduling
Customers call to move appointments, confirm a window, or ask where the tech is. Every one pulls you off the job in front of you.
Maintenance plans slipping
Water heater flushes, drain maintenance plans, and backflow tests are steady revenue, but nobody has time to call through the list.
Estimates that go cold
You quoted a water heater replacement and a repipe two weeks ago. Nobody followed up, and the homeowner went with whoever called back.
Texts and web forms at midnight
Leads come in from your website, Facebook, and text at all hours. By the time you reply in the morning, they've booked someone else.
Jobs booked without the full story
A "small leak" turns out to be a slab leak. Without the right questions up front, you show up with the wrong parts and the whole day's schedule falls apart.
Reviews you never ask for
Happy customers rarely leave a review unless someone asks. Your techs forget. So do you.
A customer list gathering dust
Years of past customers sit in your software and never hear from you until their water heater dies and they call someone else.
Your software runs the job. AutoAnswer makes sure you get the job.
No rip-and-replace. Whether you run on Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, or a shared Google Calendar, AutoAnswer works in front of it. It answers, qualifies, and books, then hands clean job details to the system your team already uses.
What doesn't change
Your pricing, your dispatch board, your techs' mobile app, your invoicing, and the way you run jobs. Nothing to retrain your crew on.
What does
Nobody misses a call, and you stop being the answering service. How AutoAnswer connects depends on your software, so we map your exact setup on the demo.

You go live, we tune it
Listen to every call and read every transcript in your dashboard. We adjust the scripts as your season and priorities change.
Straight answers
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
It sounds natural and conversational, and it's honest if someone asks. What callers care about most is getting a real answer and a real appointment on the spot.
Do I have to switch from ServiceTitan, Jobber, or Housecall Pro?
No. AutoAnswer works in front of the software you already use. On the demo we map exactly how bookings and job details get into your system.
Does it replace my office staff?
It doesn't have to. Use it for after-hours, overflow, and freeze-week surges so your office can focus on the customers already in front of them.
How does it handle emergencies?
You set the rules: active leaks, sewage backups, no water, no hot water in a freeze. Callers get shutoff instructions first, and a gas smell gets safety instructions and a utility referral. Emergencies go to your on-call plumber; everything else gets booked.
Can I hear the calls?
Yes. Every call is recorded and transcribed in your dashboard, so you can listen, review, and ask for changes.
What does it cost?
It depends on your call volume and which services you turn on. We'll walk through it on your demo. See our pricing page for plan details.
