What going live actually looks like for a plumbing company.
Setup call covers your services, your after-hours rules, and which jobs justify waking someone up. You forward your number — it stays yours, nothing is ported.
11:15pm: burst supply line. Alex answers instantly, confirms it's an active leak, walks the caller to the shutoff valve location question you scripted, and rings your on-call tech. Job booked before the competitor's phone even rang.
Casey's first text batch goes to your old water-heater estimates. Two homeowners reply — both flagged to you for same-day callbacks.
Weekly digest: every call answered, two emergency transfers, one revived estimate booked, and your no-show count for the week is zero.
Alex answers immediately, collects the address and severity, and follows your rule: true emergencies transfer live to your on-call phone; anything that can wait becomes a detailed text waiting for you in the morning.
It follows the definitions you set on the setup call — active leak vs. dripping faucet, no water vs. slow drain. You decide what interrupts your night; everything else is captured without waking anyone.
No. Transfers arrive as normal phone calls and lead alerts arrive as normal texts. There is nothing to install in the trucks.
Yes — Casey works your old estimate list with tiered check-ins at 30, 90, and 180 days. Re-pipes and water heaters are the classic win: the problem never fixed itself, and a helpful nudge often closes the job.
