AI RECEPTIONIST
FOR PLUMBERS.
The burst pipe at 3 am. The basement flooding on Christmas morning. The tenant whose sewage backup is ruining their rental. CrewCall HQ picks up every plumbing emergency, walks the caller through shut-off instructions to stop the damage, and pages your on-call plumber in under 30 seconds — 24/7, 365 days a year.
The Plumber's Problem
WHY PLUMBING SHOPS LOSE THE BIG JOBS.
FLOODING DOESN'T WAIT FOR 9 AM
Burst pipes and overflowing drains happen at 3 am, on long weekends, and during holidays. By the time you pick up your voicemail, the caller's already on hold with three other plumbers and someone else is on their way.
3 AM
Peak time for frozen pipe emergencies
EVERY MINUTE ON HOLD IS A FLOODED FLOOR
Panicked callers don't wait. If they hear a voicemail greeting instead of a voice, they're already dialing the next number. And every minute they're not being guided to the shut-off valve is another gallon of damage.

EMERGENCY JOBS PAY FOR THE MONTH
A single after-hours burst-pipe job bills $600–$2,000. Miss 2 a week and that's $150K a year gone. Plus you lose the insurance-claim referrals and the ongoing maintenance relationship the job would've led to.

How It Works
HOW CREWCALL HQ HANDLES PLUMBING CALLS.
Instant Emergency Triage
Phrases like "burst pipe", "flooding", "water everywhere", "no hot water", "sewage backup", and "frozen pipe" trigger an instant page to your on-call plumber — phone and SMS — while the AI stays on the line to reassure the caller and gather every detail you need.
Shut-Off Valve Guidance
Upload your emergency script and the AI walks panicked callers through finding the main water shut-off, turning off the water heater, or isolating a fixture. Callers stop the leak themselves before your truck arrives, saving thousands in water damage — and you look like a hero.
Quotes From Your Rate Sheet
Service-call fee, hourly rate, after-hours premium, emergency surcharge, flat-rate drain cleaning — all quoted directly from your own pricing documents. No generic scripts, no guesswork, and the moment you re-upload the rate sheet, quotes update in under 60 seconds.
Books Service Jobs & Inspections
Collects address, property type, issue description, preferred window, and books directly into Google Calendar, Cal.com, ServiceTitan, Jobber, or HousecallPro. Every appointment arrives with the context your plumber needs to roll with the right parts on the truck.
Example Calls
REAL PLUMBING CALLS, HANDLED.
Caller: "There's water pouring out from under my kitchen sink, I don't know what to do, please help."
CrewCall HQ: "Okay, stay calm — I'm paging our on-call plumber Mike right now. Look under your sink for two small oval handles on the hot and cold supply lines and turn them clockwise until they stop. If you can't find them or they won't turn, go to the main shut-off outside. Mike will call you back in 8 minutes. What's the address?"
Caller: "Hi, my kitchen sink has been draining slowly all week. How much do you charge to snake a drain?"
CrewCall HQ: "Our standard kitchen drain cleaning is $189 flat — that includes diagnostic and up to 25 feet of snaking. If we need to camera the line, that's an additional $120. I have Monday at 10 am or Tuesday at 2 pm available. Which works?"
Caller: "Hi, I'm the strata manager at 1240 Howe Street. We've got a resident reporting a leak in unit 504 that might be affecting the unit below."
CrewCall HQ: "I see 1240 Howe on our strata contract list — I'm routing this straight to Jason, our commercial lead. He'll call you within 15 minutes to coordinate access with both units. Can you confirm the resident's contact name and unit number for the work order?"
Plumbing FAQ
QUESTIONS FROM PLUMBING OWNERS.
Can CrewCall HQ handle burst pipe and flooding emergencies?
Yes. You define the emergency keywords — "burst pipe", "flooding", "water everywhere", "no hot water", "sewage backup", "drain overflow", "leak", "frozen pipe" — and CrewCall HQ instantly recognizes them, collects the caller's address and details, delivers shut-off-valve guidance, and pages your on-call plumber by phone and SMS before the caller even hangs up.
Does it quote my actual emergency and after-hours rates?
Yes. Upload your rate sheet — service-call fee, hourly rate, after-hours premium, emergency surcharge, drain-cleaning flat rates — and CrewCall HQ uses RAG to quote your exact prices from your own documents. Update the PDF and the AI updates within 60 seconds.
Can it give callers instructions to stop a flood before we arrive?
Yes. You can script emergency guidance — where the main shut-off is, how to turn off the water heater, how to isolate a fixture — and the AI delivers it calmly while it's paging your on-call plumber. Callers often stop the leak themselves before the truck arrives, saving thousands in water damage and making you look like a hero.
Can it book into ServiceTitan or Jobber?
Yes. CrewCall HQ books into Google Calendar and Cal.com today, and into ServiceTitan, Jobber, and HousecallPro on the Enterprise plan. Appointments include address, issue description, urgency tags, and equipment notes ready for dispatch.
Will it know the difference between residential, commercial, and strata jobs?
Yes. You can configure routing based on property type. Commercial clogs route to your commercial crew, strata calls route based on the building address matching an allow-list you upload, and residential emergencies page your on-call residential plumber. The rules are fully configurable.
How much does it cost for a typical plumbing shop?
Most single-location plumbing shops run on our Pro plan at $199/month flat for unlimited inbound calls. Multi-location operations typically land on Enterprise starting at $499/month with custom integrations. See full pricing, or start with Pay As You Go at $0.15/minute while you pilot.
