Stop Losing Follow-Up Calls to Voicemails and Scheduling Nightmares Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly with AI-Driven Automation
Plumbers waste up to 25 hours per week on manual follow-ups, chasing leads that go cold and rescheduling jobs that slip through cracks. Our custom-built system turns those hours into revenue, delivering an average ROI of 4x in the first year by automating reminders, confirmations, and client nurturing tailored to your plumbing operations.

The "Follow-Up Fumble" Problem
Missed callback windows after emergency drain unclogs, such as 4-inch main line blockages from grease buildup, leave hot leads cooling overnight as homeowners turn to 24/7 competitors
Manual rescheduling for tankless water heater installs via phone or email eats into billable wrench time, delaying jobs like gas line connections and permitting approvals
Forgotten follow-ups on cast iron pipe repair quotes, including trenchless relining estimates, result in lost repeat business from loyal homeowners facing recurring leaks
Overloaded voicemails from urgent fixture replacement inquiries, like leaky faucet cartridge swaps or shower valve failures, overwhelm your small dispatch team during peak evening hours
Inconsistent client nurturing after hydro-jetting sewer line services fails to build long-term maintenance contracts for annual inspections and rooter cleanouts
Scattered handwritten notes on battery backup sump pump checkups lead to duplicated efforts, like redundant battery tests, and frustrated customers during flood season
Our Custom Follow-Up Automation Built for Plumbers
With over a decade of experience engineering AI for field-service pros, we've helped plumbing firms cut administrative drag by 60% on average
Why Choose Us
We don't slap together off-the-shelf bots. Instead, AIQ Labs crafts a bespoke automation engine that integrates seamlessly with your scheduling software, CRM, and even your technician's mobile apps. Picture this: a lead calls about a leaky faucet. Our system logs the inquiry, sends an instant SMS confirmation, and schedules a follow-up call exactly when they're most likely to answer—based on real-time data from your past jobs. Short on time? This setup runs 24/7, like a vigilant apprentice who never sleeps. We've deployed these systems for plumbing crews handling everything from residential repipes to commercial backflows, ensuring every follow-up feels personal, not robotic.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Revenue Without the Hassle
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly for Billable Work
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly for Billable Work: Manual follow-ups on drain cleaning estimates and annual boiler tune-up reminders devour your schedule. Our automation handles SMS confirmations and calendar syncs, freeing your plumbers to tackle more jobs like emergency leak repairs. Industry benchmarks from the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association show plumbers gain 15 hours per tech weekly, translating to $1,500+ in extra revenue at $100/hour standard rates—without hiring more staff or investing in additional tools.
Boost ROI with 4x Returns in Year One
Boost ROI with 4x Returns in Year One: Wasted time on cold calls for water softener maintenance and reschedules for fixture installs costs plumbing businesses 20-30% in potential earnings per PHCC efficiency studies. Our system delivers measurable efficiency through automated drip campaigns: clients report a 4x ROI via 25% higher close rates on follow-up quotes for pipe inspections. For a mid-sized firm with 5 techs, that's $50,000+ annually from nurtured leads alone, all via tailored workflows that integrate with your service software for exact matches to jobs like sewer scoping.
Enhance Client Relationships with Precision Timing
Enhance Client Relationships with Precision Timing: In home services, trust hinges on reliability—like showing up on time for a radiant floor heating service or backflow preventer testing. Automation sends contextual reminders (e.g., 'Your galvanized pipe inspection is tomorrow at 2 PM—any questions on prep?'), reducing no-shows by 40% based on field data and fostering repeat business through seasonal alerts for sump pump winterization. This isn't generic; it's custom-tuned to your workflow with GPS-linked dispatch, turning one-off clog clears into ongoing contracts worth $2,000+ per household annually.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose half our quote follow-ups to hectic days unclogging 6-inch sewer mains from tree root intrusions. Now, the system auto-sends personalized texts with job specifics like estimated pipe relining costs, and we've booked 12 extra emergency drain services in the last two months alone—many on weekends. It's like having an extra dispatcher who never sleeps."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Plumbing & Drain Services, serving 5,000+ homes in suburban Chicago
"Our team was drowning in reschedule voicemails after heavy storm season installs of whole-house water filters. This automation cut that noise by 70% with instant email confirmations, and clients actually thank us for the seamless process. We landed a three-year maintenance deal last week for quarterly sewer inspections because of a timely follow-up nudge—total game-changer for our lean crew of four techs."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Apex Pipe Pros Inc., specializing in residential repiping in Seattle
"I was skeptical about AI for something as hands-on as plumbing, but their custom setup integrated with our Jobber app perfectly for tracking. Follow-ups on water softener regeneration services now happen automatically via targeted SMS, saving us about 10 hours a week on admin. We closed $8K in upsells for salt delivery subscriptions we would've missed otherwise, all within the first quarter of use."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle emergency plumbing calls that need immediate follow-up?
Our system is designed for the high-stakes world of plumbing emergencies. When a lead comes in for something urgent like a burst pipe, the AI instantly categorizes it and sends a high-priority SMS confirmation within seconds, pulling from your on-call schedule to propose the next available slot. For true 24/7 reliability, it integrates with your dispatch software to notify the nearest tech via app push. We've seen plumbers respond 50% faster this way, turning potential floods into quick wins. Unlike generic tools, this is built to learn from your peak emergency patterns, ensuring no call slips through during off-hours.
Absolutely, and that's where our engineering edge shines. We create custom, bidirectional integrations that sync follow-up data in real-time—no more manual exports or broken links. For instance, after a toilet install job in Jobber, our automation auto-generates a satisfaction survey and follow-up quote for related services like water line checks. This eliminates the 'subscription chaos' of mismatched tools, creating a single workflow. Clients typically see setup complete in 2-4 weeks, with zero downtime, and we handle all the heavy lifting so your team stays on the tools, not the keyboard.
For a team of five, expect to save 15-25 hours weekly on follow-ups alone—time better spent on revenue-generating installs or repairs. Break it down: automating reminders cuts 8 hours of phone time, while smart lead nurturing handles 10 more in manual tracking. Based on our deployments, this boosts productivity by 35%, with one client reporting $12,000 in added monthly bookings from recovered leads. It's not just hours; it's about focusing on what you do best—solving plumbing problems—while the AI manages the relationship side with precision tailored to your workflow.
Yes, every aspect is tailored to your service lineup, from residential faucet fixes to commercial irrigation systems. We map your workflows during discovery—say, aggressive follow-ups for leak detections versus gentle reminders for annual inspections—and build automation paths accordingly. This includes conditional logic: if a client skips a sump pump service reminder, it escalates to a personalized call script. Our approach ensures 90%+ personalization rates, far above generic platforms, helping you nurture everything from one-off clogs to long-term contracts without generic templates.
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where you're trusted with home access details. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, using secure APIs to protect sensitive info like service addresses or payment histories. Data stays in your owned system, not rented clouds prone to breaches. Regular audits and role-based access mean only authorized team members see follow-up notes. In one deployment for a plumbing network, this setup prevented any data mishaps during a 6-month surge, giving owners peace of mind while automating client outreach flawlessly.
Most plumbing clients see positive ROI within 3-6 months, with full payback in under a year. For example, if you're losing $2,000 monthly to dropped follow-ups, our system recoups costs through 20-30% higher conversion rates. We track metrics like hours saved (aim for 20/week) and revenue uplift (often 15-25% on nurtured leads). One firm broke even in 10 weeks by automating post-job quotes for heater services. We provide a custom projection during consultation, based on your current volume, to show exact timelines—no guesses, just data-driven forecasts.
