What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our evening calls about dripping faucets to voicemail—customers just called the next plumber down the street. Now, it's handling everything from initial leak estimates to rescheduling around frozen pipe thaws, and we've added three techs just to keep up with the bookings. Revenue's up 18% in six months, thanks to capturing those 9 PM emergencies."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Plumbing Services
"I was skeptical about a bot understanding plumbing lingo like 'galvanized pipe corrosion' or 'backflow prevention,' but this thing quotes copper pipe replacements accurately and even pulls up our service history for recurring sump pump failures. After a rough winter with frozen lines in 2023, it caught 20 extra jobs overnight during a cold snap. Game-changer for our small crew of five."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Pipe Pros LLC, Serving Suburban Chicago
"Our old system meant frantic texts at 2 AM about gurgling drains or no hot water. The custom chatbot integrates with our ServiceTitan dispatch app perfectly—now emergencies get triaged fast with details on water pressure issues, and techs get site specifics like fixture types upfront before rolling out. Cut our no-show rate from 12% to under 3% last quarter, saving us thousands in lost labor."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent plumbing emergencies like a major flood?
Our custom AI is designed with urgency detection, prioritizing keywords like 'flooding' or 'burst pipe' to provide immediate safety advice—such as locating the main shutoff—while queuing the chat for your fastest available tech. It gathers critical details like address and symptoms without delay, then integrates directly with your dispatch system to book an emergency slot. In tests with similar home services, this cut response times from 45 minutes to under 2, ensuring clients feel supported around the clock. Unlike generic bots, ours escalates intelligently, notifying your team via SMS or app push for human oversight on high-stakes calls.
Can it integrate with my existing plumbing software like ServiceTitan?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations tailored to tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or QuickBooks. The chatbot pulls real-time data—such as technician availability or parts inventory— to give accurate quotes during chats, like estimating a faucet repair cost on the spot. This eliminates manual entry errors that plague many plumbing ops. Post-integration, we provide a unified dashboard to monitor how chats convert to jobs, helping you refine workflows. Our approach ensures seamless data flow, reducing the 'subscription chaos' of disconnected systems and giving you full control over your digital assets.
What if a customer has a complex issue the bot can't resolve?
We've built in smart escalation protocols that recognize complexity—say, a tricky sewer line diagnosis—and seamlessly transfer the conversation to a live plumber with full context preserved, including photos or descriptions uploaded via chat. The handoff feels natural, like passing the wrench to a colleague. For plumbers, this means no starting from scratch; your team picks up exactly where the AI left off. In real deployments, this has reduced resolution times by 40% for intricate queries, maintaining high satisfaction while keeping your after-hours load manageable.
Is the chatbot secure for handling sensitive home details?
Security is paramount in home services, where clients share addresses and personal info. Our enterprise-grade chatbot uses end-to-end encryption, GDPR-compliant data handling, and role-based access to protect plumbing job specifics. We conduct regular audits and build in features like automatic data purging after job completion. Unlike off-the-shelf options, our custom build avoids third-party vulnerabilities, ensuring your reputation stays spotless. Plumbing firms using our system report zero data incidents, allowing you to focus on service excellence without compliance worries.
How quickly can we get this up and running for our business?
From initial consultation to live deployment, our process takes 4-6 weeks for most plumbing operations, depending on integration complexity. We start with a rapid discovery session to map your workflows, then build and test the AI in parallel. Beta testing with your real inquiries ensures it's tuned for accuracy before full launch. Post-go-live, we offer 24/7 support for the first month to iron out any kinks. This timeline beats generic solutions that drag on for months, getting you capturing those emergency chats sooner and seeing ROI in weeks.
Will the chatbot improve our lead conversion from online inquiries?
Yes, significantly. By providing instant, knowledgeable responses—like troubleshooting a garbage disposal jam or scheduling a water line inspection—our bots nurture leads that might otherwise bounce. We embed conversion tactics, such as one-click booking links and personalized offers based on inquiry type. Plumbing clients typically see a 35% uplift in conversion rates, as the AI builds trust through expert advice. Analytics track every interaction, showing exactly which chat flows drive jobs, so you can optimize for your busy seasons like holiday drain clogs.
