You’re Losing Plumbing Jobs — Not Because of Skill, But Missed Calls
Phone coverage gaps cost plumbing businesses real jobs. After-hours calls, busy periods, and generic answering services create holes where customers slip through. You lose work not because you can’t do it, but because nobody answered.
After-Hours Emergencies Go Straight to Voicemail
Someone’s basement floods at 2 AM. They call you first because they remember your truck. Voicemail picks up. They try three more plumbers. One has AI that answers instantly and dispatches help. By morning, the job is done, and you never knew it existed.
Multiple Calls During Rush Hours Mean Lost Jobs
Monday morning: three calls come in at once. Your receptionist is scheduling an appointment, you’re helping a customer, and the office manager is ordering supplies. Two calls go unanswered. Both customers move on to the next plumber. They don’t call back. Someone else gets the job.
Generic Answering Services Can’t Prioritize Real Emergencies
Your answering service picks up after hours, but can’t distinguish a dripping faucet from sewage backup. Everything gets the same treatment. Real emergencies aren’t prioritized. You spend the morning sorting out urgent matters from routine. Time wasted, opportunities missed, customers frustrated before you even start the day.

FAQs About AI Receptionist for Plumbing Companies
Will Welco actually save my plumbing business money on after-hours calls?
Yes. Traditional plumbing answering services charge $125–$300 per emergency call, which can add up quickly during busy seasons. Welco offers a flat monthly fee of around $30 with unlimited calls — no surprise bills when burst pipes or frozen water lines trigger multiple emergencies. You get 24/7 coverage for what you’d normally spend on just a few calls.
What if a customer wants to talk to me or a technician directly?
Welco can transfer calls to you or your technicians at any time. Set it up so customers can request a transfer, or configure workflows to direct certain situations to your team automatically. Think of Welco as your first line of defense—it handles the routine stuff and gets you on the line when it really matters.
Can Welco provide service estimates or just take messages?
Welco can provide pricing based on what you teach it. Give it your service call fees, hourly rates, and standard job estimates, and it’ll share those with customers. You control how detailed it gets—some plumbers prefer price ranges, others give exact quotes for standard work. Either way works.
What happens if Welco doesn’t know the answer to a customer’s question?
Welco is honest about it. It can transfer the call to you, take a detailed message, or schedule a callback. You’ll get the full transcript and can update Welco’s knowledge to handle similar questions automatically next time. Welco learns as your plumbing business grows.
Can Welco provide water heater, drain cleaning, or leak repair estimates automatically?
Yes. Welco can give accurate pricing based on the rates and service details you provide. Whether it’s a routine drain cleaning, a water heater replacement, or an emergency leak repair, Welco shares estimates with customers instantly. You control whether it provides ranges or exact quotes, so customers get the correct information without tying up your team.
What happens if a customer needs urgent help but no technician is available?
Welco identifies the urgency of every call. If no technician is immediately available, it records all critical details, notifies your team, and can schedule the earliest possible appointment. Customers are kept informed, and you never lose a potential job because someone wasn’t available at that moment.
