What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains in Efficiency
Reclaim 12-15 Hours Weekly
Reclaim 12-15 Hours Weekly: Your plumbers spend too much time texting clients about drain unclogs or fixture installs. Our automation handles confirmations, delays, and follow-ups instantly—such as sending real-time ETA alerts for a backed-up main line. Teams report 12 hours saved per week on average, redirecting focus to high-value jobs like emergency water main breaks. That's a direct productivity boost—translating to an extra $5,000 in monthly revenue for a mid-sized firm with 10 technicians.
Achieve 3x Faster ROI Through Cost Cuts
Achieve 3x Faster ROI Through Cost Cuts: Manual communications lead to errors, like missed appointments for toilet replacements costing $200 per no-show. We automate reminders and status updates via integrated SMS for jobs like sump pump installations, reducing these by 60%. Clients see ROI in 90 days, with one firm cutting admin overhead by $8,000 annually through streamlined dispatching. No more juggling multiple apps—just one owned system driving efficiency for your service vans.
Boost Client Retention by 35%
Boost Client Retention by 35%: In plumbing, relationships hinge on timely updates during water heater installs or leak fixes. Our AI personalizes messages based on past jobs, like reminding repeat customers of annual drain inspections or suggesting backflow preventer upgrades. This fosters loyalty, with benchmarks showing 35% higher retention rates from automated seasonal outreach. Your team closes more upsells, like adding water softeners during routine service calls, without extra effort—potentially adding $10,000 in yearly upsell revenue.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our dispatchers were buried in calls about pipe bursts and overflowing toilets—easily 10 hours a day during peak seasons. Now, automated texts handle ETAs and confirmations for emergency drain jobs, and we've cut no-shows by 50% with proactive reminders. Last quarter alone, that meant 15 more leak repair jobs without hiring extra staff, boosting our billable hours by 20%."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Apex Plumbing Services (Serving 5,000+ Residential Clients in the Midwest)
"We used to chase payments after every sewer line repair and water heater replacement via scattered emails and voicemails. Their system sends digital invoices right after the job via client portal, with automated follow-ups if unpaid after 7 days. Cash flow improved overnight—got paid 20 days faster on average for our 50+ monthly installs, which kept our three service trucks rolling without dipping into savings or delaying supplier payments."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Reliable Flow Plumbing (Specializing in Commercial and Residential Sewer Services)
"Integrating this with our scheduling app was a game-changer for handling after-hours emergencies like frozen pipe bursts in winter. Clients get instant updates on technician arrivals via geofenced alerts, and our automated review requests post-job via SMS have doubled our Google ratings from 4.2 to 4.7 stars. It's like having an extra admin without the $40,000 annual payroll hit, freeing us to take on 10% more service calls."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle urgent plumbing emergencies?
Our system is designed for the high-stakes world of plumbing, where a burst pipe can't wait. It uses AI to triage incoming messages—flagging keywords like 'flooding' or 'no water' for immediate escalation to your on-call team. Routine queries, such as 'when will the tech arrive?', get instant automated replies with GPS-tracked ETAs. For one client, this cut emergency response times from 45 minutes to under 10, preventing thousands in water damage claims. We integrate with your dispatch software to ensure nothing falls through, all while keeping a human touch for complex issues. Setup is quick, with training to customize triggers for your specific services like sewer backups.
Will this work with our existing plumbing software like ServiceTitan?
Absolutely—integration is our specialty. We build deep, two-way connections with tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or QuickBooks, pulling job details to automate personalized client updates. No more double-entry; a completed drain cleaning job automatically triggers a thank-you text and invoice. We've done this for dozens of plumbing firms, ensuring data flows securely without disrupting your workflow. The result? A unified system that feels native, saving hours on manual syncing. If your setup is unique, like custom field apps for tech notes, we'll tailor the APIs accordingly, tested for reliability during peak seasons.
What kind of time savings can a small plumbing team expect?
For a team of 5-10 plumbers, expect 10-15 hours reclaimed weekly from communication tasks alone. Think of it as eliminating the back-and-forth on fixture replacement schedules or post-job confirmations. Industry benchmarks show 65% reduction in admin time, allowing techs to handle 20% more jobs. One partner, a residential plumbing outfit, went from 20 daily client calls to just 5 escalations, boosting billable hours and cutting overtime costs by $3,000 monthly. We quantify this upfront with a workflow audit, ensuring savings align with your operation's scale and client volume.
Is the system customizable for different types of plumbing services?
Yes, every aspect is tailored to your niche—whether residential water heaters or commercial irrigation systems. We map your workflows during discovery, then build automations like targeted reminders for seasonal drain cleanings or upsell prompts for leak detections. Unlike one-size-fits-all tools, ours adapts to your client personas, such as prioritizing urgent texts for homeowners versus detailed emails for property managers. A recent build for a firm specializing in boiler installs included voice agents for compliance-heavy queries. This custom approach ensures higher engagement, with clients reporting 40% better response rates on personalized messages.
How secure is client data in this automation?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where you're handling addresses and emergency details. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, with role-based access to prevent unauthorized views. Data stays in your owned system, not scattered across vendor clouds, reducing breach risks. For plumbers, this means protected client histories during sensitive jobs like sump pump failures. We've audited our builds for vulnerabilities, and partners see zero incidents post-deployment. Plus, we include audit logs for every communication, giving you peace of mind and easy compliance reporting for insurance purposes.
What's the timeline for implementation and seeing ROI?
We move fast but thoroughly: discovery takes 1-2 weeks, build 4-6 weeks, and deployment another 2. Full ROI hits in 2-3 months, as seen with a plumbing company that recouped costs through 25% fewer no-shows. Early wins, like automated reminders, deliver value in week one. Our process includes phased rollouts to minimize disruption—start with scheduling texts, then add invoicing. With your input, we prioritize high-impact features, ensuring quick efficiencies in client handling without overwhelming your team during busy periods like winter pipe freezes.
