    How the Missed-Call Text-Back works

Why plumbers miss so many calls

Most plumbing companies are a few trucks and one phone. When everyone is on a job, the phone rings in a truck or goes to voicemail. A caller with water on the floor won't wait for a callback. They call the next plumber on the list.

Our free Missed Call Calculator at holstonai.com/missed-call-calculator shows what those calls cost your business in a year.

What the AI agent does on each call

The agent answers with your company's name and follows a call flow you approve. You can try a sample one for a made-up plumbing company in Kingsport in our free AI Agent Builder, right in your browser.

  • Asks what is happening, where in the home, and whether water is actively leaking
  • Checks that the address is in your service area
  • Books the service call or estimate into your calendar or job software
  • Sends burst pipes, active flooding, and sewage backups to your on-call plumber
  • Follows your safety script, such as walking the caller through shutting off the main water valve
  • Handles routine jobs too, like drain cleaning, water heaters, and fixtures
  • Texts you a summary of every call

Your voice, your rules

You pick the agent's voice from a long list of natural-sounding men's and women's voices. We set up how it talks about pricing, whether it quotes a service call fee or says you give free estimates, and when it should hand a call to a person. It always tells callers it is an AI assistant.

Works with the tools you already use

The agent works with your existing business number. It can ring your office or cell first and answer only when nobody picks up, or take every call after hours. Bookings can go into Google Calendar or Outlook, or into job software like Housecall Pro, Jobber, or ServiceTitan when the software allows it. We check your setup on the first call.

Add missed-call text-back

If a call still slips through, our Missed-Call Text-Back agent texts the caller within seconds, finds out what they need, and books them by text.

Questions

People also ask

What is an AI receptionist for a plumbing company?

It is an AI agent that answers your phone, asks the questions you would ask, books service calls, and sends emergencies to your on-call plumber. It works 24/7 and handles several calls at once.

How does it handle a burst pipe or flooding?

You decide what counts as an emergency. The agent follows your safety script, such as telling the caller how to shut off the main water valve, then transfers the call or texts your on-call plumber right away.

Will it quote prices?

Only what you approve. Most plumbers have it explain the service call fee or free estimate policy and leave job pricing to the plumber on site.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. It works with your existing number. You choose whether it answers every call, only after hours, or only when you don't pick up.

How much does it cost?

We set up each agent at a fixed price that we confirm after a short call about your call volume, service area, and the software you use.

Can I hear one first?

Yes. Open the sample plumbing agent in our free AI Agent Builder and talk to it from your browser, or build one with your own company name.
