What Makes Us Different:
Capture Every Plumbing Opportunity, Day or Night

Industry benchmarks show this approach recovers 35% more after-hours revenue within the first 6 months, ensuring no flooded basement call slips through the cracks—like sealing a pipe before the leak spreads to electrical systems.
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant, Expert Responses
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant, Expert Responses: Customers expect quick fixes for issues like running toilets, not radio silence. The chatbot draws from your knowledge base to guide users through troubleshooting steps, such as checking the flapper valve, while collecting details like pipe material for your team. This leads to 92% satisfaction rates in home services within 90 days, turning one-time drain cleaners into loyal repeat clients without you lifting a wrench.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend emergency calls for sewer backups to voicemail—folks just called the next plumber. Now, it handles initial triage by asking about symptoms like gurgling drains and books us right into ServiceTitan. We've added three full jobs a week without hiring extra dispatchers, and our Google reviews jumped from 4.2 to 4.8 in just two months."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera's Emergency Plumbing Services
"Our old setup couldn't keep up with after-hours queries on tankless water heater installs; customers got frustrated and went elsewhere. The custom bot AIQ built pulls from our install guides, explaining venting requirements, and responds like one of our techs. Last quarter, it captured 15 leads we would've missed, turning into $12K in revenue from upgrades. It's like having a night shift that never sleeps."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Residential Plumbing Solutions
"Dealing with 3 a.m. calls for frozen pipes was a nightmare—either ignore them or wake the whole team. This chatbot qualifies the issue by requesting photos of the affected lines, sends insulation advice, and alerts our on-call tech only if thawing is needed. We've cut response times by 70% and picked up steady work from neighbors who saw our quick replies on Nextdoor. Solid investment for any plumbing outfit."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent plumbing emergencies like a burst pipe?
Our custom chatbot is trained to recognize urgency in queries—keywords like 'burst,' 'flooding,' or 'no water' trigger immediate prioritization. It gathers key details: location, symptoms, and photos if possible, then escalates directly to your on-call technician via integrated SMS or app notifications, including a full interaction log. This ensures response times drop to under 5 minutes, far better than voicemail black holes. We've seen plumbing firms reduce emergency no-shows by 50%, as the bot reassures customers they're not alone, building trust while your team mobilizes. It's all tailored to your protocols, so it won't overpromise on ETAs.
Can it integrate with my existing plumbing software like ServiceTitan?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber. The chatbot pulls real-time data—such as availability for drain cleaning jobs—and pushes updates like new bookings or quote acceptances directly into your system. No more manual entry that eats hours. For a typical plumbing operation, this means a customer chatting about a sewer backup gets an instant slot offer based on your calendar, with the job auto-scheduled. Our approach uses robust APIs, avoiding the brittle connections that plague no-code setups, ensuring reliability during peak seasons.
What if the chatbot can't resolve a complex issue, like a tricky repiping job?
The bot is designed for smart handoffs. If a query exceeds its scope—like detailed diagnostics for an old galvanized pipe replacement—it seamlessly transfers to a live agent, sharing the entire conversation history and collected info. This prevents frustration; customers feel heard without starting over. In practice, for plumbers, this happens in about 20% of interactions, mostly for estimates over $1,000, and our clients report 30% faster resolutions overall. We train it on your specific escalation rules, so it's like a well-drilled apprentice knowing when to call the master plumber.
Is the chatbot available on mobile for customers reporting issues on-site?
Yes, it's fully responsive and works across devices, including mobile browsers and even SMS fallbacks for spotty connections—perfect for a homeowner dealing with a kitchen sink overflow while away. Customers can snap photos of the issue, like a corroded fixture, and the bot analyzes them to provide initial advice or queue for your team. This mobility captures leads in real-time; imagine a renter texting about a slow drain during work hours. Our deployment ensures 99% uptime, with analytics showing mobile interactions drive 45% of after-hours bookings in home services.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small plumbing business?
Costs vary by complexity, but for a mid-sized plumbing firm with 5-10 techs, expect a one-time build fee of $15,000-$25,000, covering custom training, integrations, and launch—far less than ongoing subscriptions that add up to $10K yearly. No hidden fees; you own the system outright. ROI hits fast: one client recouped costs in three months via captured emergency jobs. We start with a free consultation to scope your needs, like handling 50 weekly queries, and provide a precise quote. It's an investment that pays off by eliminating missed leads and scaling your support without proportional staff growth.
Does it improve SEO or online visibility for my plumbing services?
Indirectly, yes—by keeping visitors engaged longer through helpful chats, it reduces bounce rates and signals to search engines that your site provides value, boosting rankings for terms like 'emergency plumber near me.' The bot also captures contact info for follow-up nurturing, feeding your SEO with fresh, local content ideas from real queries. In home services, sites with interactive elements see 25% more organic traffic. We optimize it further with schema markup for services like leak detection, ensuring you're prominent in AI-driven searches like Google SGE.
