With over a decade architecting enterprise-grade solutions for home services, we've empowered plumbing firms to own their lead data without subscription traps.
Why Choose Us
We craft a bespoke CRM from the ground up, mirroring the reliability of a well-soldered pipe network. No more one-size-fits-all software that clogs your workflow. Instead, we integrate AI to predict urgent calls, automate responses for burst pipe emergencies, and sync with your existing dispatch apps. This isn't assembly-line code. It's a custom-built asset, tailored to handle the unpredictability of plumbing demands—from quiet nights to flood-season rushes. Proven to cut response times by 80%, our systems ensure every lead flows smoothly to conversion.
What Makes Us Different:
Why This Matters for Your Plumbing Operation
Boost Close Rates on Service Calls
Boost Close Rates on Service Calls: Imagine leads for sewer line repairs landing directly in your tech's queue, prioritized by urgency based on reported symptoms like backups or odors. Our custom CRM scores them using AI, focusing your team on jobs worth $500+ instead of tire-kickers, with clients reporting 40% higher conversion on emergency services within the first 30 days, freeing up hours for actual wrench-turning on-site.
Eliminate No-Show Follow-Ups
Eliminate No-Show Follow-Ups: No more chasing ghosts after initial inquiries for fixture replacements like leaky faucets or clogged toilets. The system automates nurturing with personalized reminders—such as 'Still dealing with that leaky faucet after last week's rain?'—tailored to local weather patterns that trigger clogs. This has slashed no-shows by 60% for our plumbing partners within two months, turning one-off calls into loyal annual maintenance accounts generating $2,000+ per client.
Streamline Team Coordination During Peak Seasons
Streamline Team Coordination During Peak Seasons: When summer heat waves spike AC condensate drain unclogging demands by 150%, our CRM unifies your mobile app with central dispatch for real-time visibility. Updates prevent double-booking on whole-home repiping jobs, reducing overtime costs by 25% during peak July-August periods. It's like having an extra foreman who never sleeps, ensuring your crew stays on route and revenue from emergency plumbing keeps flowing without delays.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose half our leads to voicemail hell during busy days unclogging main sewer lines after heavy rains. Now, the CRM auto-responds to texts about frozen pipes within seconds, and we've added three full-time preventive maintenance contracts from what used to be cold leads. Implementation took just three weeks, and it's already paid for itself with $15,000 in new quarterly revenue."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Plumbing Services
"Our old system couldn't handle the rush of water damage calls after spring storms, with inquiries doubling overnight. This custom setup qualifies leads on the spot—asking about flood extent, affected fixtures, and insurance details—so we only send techs to viable gigs worth over $1,000. Last quarter, we closed 35% more water heater installs without hiring extra dispatchers, saving us $8,000 in labor."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Apex Plumbing Co.
"I was skeptical about ditching our generic CRM, but this one's built around our workflow for routine pipe inspections and 24/7 emergencies like burst pipes. It even predicts repeat business for sump pump maintenance based on past jobs in flood-prone areas. We've cut admin time by 4 hours each day, letting us focus on what we do best: fixing pipes and securing $5,000 in annual contract renewals."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom CRM handle the unpredictability of plumbing emergencies?
Plumbing isn't a 9-to-5 gig; emergencies like burst pipes don't wait. Our CRM uses AI to triage leads by keywords—'flooding basement' gets VIP status—and routes them to on-call techs via push notifications. We've built in geofencing to alert nearby crews first, cutting response times from hours to minutes. For non-urgents, like slow drips, it queues them for next-day slots. This setup, drawn from real plumbing workflows, ensures nothing falls through, with 95% of emergencies addressed under 30 minutes in our deployments. It's flexible, too—adjust priorities based on your service radius or crew availability.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf CRMs like ServiceTitan?
Off-the-shelf options are like generic wrenches: they work for basic jobs but slip on tough fittings. We build yours specifically for plumbing—integrating with tools you already use, like your QuickBooks for instant invoicing on leak repairs or Housecall Pro for dispatching. No bloated features you don't need, just streamlined lead flow that matches your exact process, from initial inquiry to signed contract. Clients switch to us and see 50% less admin time, owning the system outright without monthly fees that add up to thousands yearly. It's engineered for scalability, handling your growth from solo operator to multi-truck fleet.
How long does it take to get a custom CRM up and running for my plumbing business?
We keep it efficient, targeting 4-6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Week one: We audit your current lead pipeline, identifying pain points like delayed follow-ups on water heater quotes. Weeks two and three: Coding and AI tuning, testing with your real data for accuracy on lead qualification. Week four: Integration and team training, often virtual to fit your schedule. Post-launch, we optimize for two weeks, refining based on live traffic. This timeline beats the endless setup of generic tools, and we've deployed for plumbers during peak seasons without disrupting operations—ensuring you're capturing summer surge leads immediately.
Can the CRM integrate with my existing plumbing software and tools?
Absolutely—seamless integration is our hallmark. We connect to whatever you're using: Jobber for scheduling, Xero for billing, even your website's contact forms for instant lead pulls on toilet installs. Our deep API work creates two-way data flow, so a new lead auto-populates your dispatch board and triggers calendar invites. No more manual entry that leads to errors on pipe sizing quotes. For plumbing specifics, we sync with inventory systems to check part availability during calls. Over 90% of our clients run hybrid setups, and we've handled everything from legacy QuickBooks to modern apps, ensuring your workflow stays fluid without data silos.
What kind of support do you provide after the CRM is built?
We're in it for the long haul, not a one-and-done build. Post-deployment, you get dedicated engineer access for the first 90 days, tweaking features like auto-responses for seasonal flooding inquiries. Ongoing, it's priority support via Slack or phone, with quarterly reviews to align with changes—like new EPA regs on lead pipes. We also train your team with plumbing-focused sessions, covering how to use mobile views for field updates. Unlike subscription vendors who charge extra for fixes, our model emphasizes ownership: you control the code, and we provide updates as needed. Clients love it—response times under 2 hours, keeping your leads flowing without downtime.
How secure is the custom CRM for handling sensitive plumbing client data?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where you're dealing with home addresses, water test results, and payment info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption—data at rest and in transit—complying with GDPR and CCPA standards. Role-based access means dispatchers see leads but not full client histories, and we audit logs for every interaction, like a job quote for sewage backups. AI features anonymize data for predictions, preventing breaches. We've stress-tested against industry threats, including phishing common in service calls, and offer optional HIPAA-like setups for health-related plumbing issues. Your data stays yours, hosted on secure AWS infrastructure with 99.99% uptime.
