What Makes Us Different:
Capture Every Plumbing Opportunity, 24/7
Never Miss a Midnight Leak Call
Never Miss a Midnight Leak Call: Picture a 2 AM flooded basement from a ruptured main line—your AI agent assesses flood levels, confirms shutoff valve status, and schedules a certified plumber within 30 minutes. Plumbing industry benchmarks indicate this approach captures 40% more emergency revenue, transforming urgent slab leaks into scheduled repairs before water damage escalates.
Scale Without Adding Dispatch Headaches
Scale Without Adding Dispatch Headaches: When expanding from 5 to 15 trucks to handle increased demands for hydro-jetting during monsoon seasons, our AI agents manage the influx of calls seamlessly. Field reports from plumbing firms show 25% faster appointment bookings for sewer inspections, allowing owners to prioritize fleet expansion over constant phone monitoring.
Boost Referrals with Instant, Expert Responses
Boost Referrals with Instant, Expert Responses: Homeowners appreciate immediate guidance on troubleshooting low water pressure from calcified pipes or sizing for tankless water heater installs. This consistent expertise fosters 35% higher repeat bookings for annual backflow preventer tests, as delighted customers recommend services in local homeowner associations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls to voicemail—last winter in Chicago, that meant missing out on $15K worth of frozen pipe bursts and emergency re-pipes. Now, it qualifies the leak severity, notes insulation details, and books jobs instantly, with our techs arriving fully tooled. Revenue jumped 28% year-over-year without hiring more dispatchers."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Plumbing & Drain Services, Chicago, IL
"I was skeptical about AI tackling real plumbing questions, but it nails diagnostics for grease trap clogs and toilet flange replacements. We linked it to our Jobber software in just 10 days, and off-hours bookings for drain camera inspections rose from 5 to 18 per month. It's a total game-changer for our lean operation during peak holiday flushes."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Family Plumbing, Austin, TX
"Our legacy IVR system buckled under storm season calls for sump pump failures in Houston. The AI agent triages efficiently, probing for backup battery status and flood zone risks. We've slashed response times from 4 hours to under 15 minutes, and customers now leave 5-star reviews praising our proactive flood prevention service."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle urgent plumbing emergencies?
Our agents are programmed to recognize urgency cues like 'flooding basement' or 'no hot water,' immediately gathering key details such as location, symptoms, and access info. It then books the soonest slot or dispatches an alert to your on-call team. In tests with plumbing firms, this cut response times from 45 minutes to under 5, ensuring you never lose a high-value emergency job. We customize the logic to match your service radius and crew availability, making it feel like an extension of your best dispatcher.
Can it integrate with my existing plumbing software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep API connections to tools like Jobber, Service Fusion, or custom dispatch systems. The AI pulls real-time data for accurate scheduling—say, checking if a tech is en route to a nearby clog job—and pushes call outcomes directly into your pipeline. No more manual entry that leads to double-bookings. Our process starts with a workflow audit to ensure zero disruptions, and we've integrated for over 100 home services clients without a hitch.
What if a customer has a complex issue the AI can't resolve?
The agent is designed for smart handoffs. If it detects complexity—like troubleshooting a multi-line sewer issue—it seamlessly transfers to a live person, passing along the full conversation transcript and details. This happens in under 10 seconds, maintaining trust. Plumbers we've worked with report 90% of calls resolved by AI, with the rest escalated smoothly, reducing hold times and boosting satisfaction in an industry where reliability is everything.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for a plumbing business?
Pricing is bespoke, starting around $5,000 for setup based on your call volume and integrations, with no ongoing subscriptions—it's yours to own. For a mid-sized plumber handling 200 calls monthly, ROI hits in 2-3 months via captured leads. We provide a detailed quote after a free audit, factoring in features like emergency prioritization. Unlike rented services charging $1-2 per minute, our model eliminates long-term fees, saving thousands annually.
Is the AI trained on plumbing-specific knowledge?
Yes, we train it exclusively on your data plus industry-standard plumbing scenarios, covering everything from PVC pipe failures to boiler maintenance. It understands terms like 'backflow preventer' or 'hydro-jetting' and asks targeted questions to qualify jobs accurately. Initial training uses anonymized call logs you provide, refined over the first month with live feedback. This expertise-driven approach ensures it builds client relationships, not just takes messages, aligning with home services' focus on trust.
How quickly can we get this up and running?
From consultation to launch, it's typically 4-6 weeks for a tailored setup. Week 1: We map your workflows. Weeks 2-3: Build and integrate. Week 4: Test with simulated calls on drain inspections or leak detections. Then, soft launch with monitoring. For urgent needs, like peak season, we can accelerate to 3 weeks. Our track record shows 100% on-time delivery, getting plumbing businesses back to capturing every opportunity without downtime.
