The problem

A burst pipe won't wait for you to call back

When you're in a basement replacing a water heater, the last thing you can do is answer the phone. But the homeowner with water flooding the utility room is already calling the next plumber on Google. They're not leaving a voicemail when the ceiling is dripping.

  • 85% of callers with a plumbing emergency won't leave a voicemail
  • Homeowners in a plumbing emergency call 2-3 plumbers and go with whoever picks up first
  • That adds up to 3-5 plumbing jobs lost per week
  • A full-time receptionist costs C$2,500+/month just to answer the phone
