Incoming Call
Emergency — Burst Pipe
"Hello, you've reached Smith Plumbing. I'm Katie, the digital assistant. How can I help?"
"I have a burst pipe in my kitchen! Water everywhere!"
"I understand — that sounds urgent. Can you confirm your postcode so I can get help to you quickly?"
The Real Cost of Missed Plumbing Calls
Every missed call is a job going to your competitor. Here's what plumbers lose every single week.
Burst Pipes at 2am
You're asleep. Your phone is on silent. The customer leaves a voicemail, calls the next plumber on Google, and gets emergency help within 20 minutes. You lost a £400 emergency callout and potentially a £2,000 replumbing job.
Boiler Breakdowns on Sundays
Family with no hot water on a freezing Sunday morning. They call you first because you have great reviews. You don't answer. They call competitor #2 who answers immediately. You lost a £280 repair plus a £1,800 annual service contract.
Leak Emergencies While Working
You're under a sink fixing a waste pipe. Phone vibrates in your pocket. Can't answer — hands full of muck, water everywhere. Check missed call at 4pm. Customer already booked someone else. Lost £350 job.
The average UK plumber misses 5 calls per day = £50,568 in lost revenue per year

Plumber FAQ
Common questions from plumbers about AI call answering.
How much does AI call answering cost for plumbers?
Whoza.ai starts at £59/month for the Starter plan. One captured emergency plumbing job averages £120-£250 callout. At £59/month, one emergency callout pays for the whole year. Overage minutes are billed at £0.26/minute.
Can Katie handle burst pipe emergencies at 2am?
Yes. Katie answers 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays. She identifies emergency plumbing keywords like 'burst pipe', 'flooding', 'no water', 'leak', 'blocked drain', 'overflowing toilet' — and marks the enquiry as emergency priority. You get an immediate WhatsApp with 'EMERGENCY — URGENT' in the header, even at 2am.
What information does Katie collect from plumbing customers?
Katie collects: full name, phone number, postcode, property type (house/flat/commercial), plumbing issue (burst pipe/leak/blockage/drainage/boiler/no water), urgency level, property age, whether it's a rental property, and how they found you.
Can Katie distinguish between a routine service and an emergency?
Yes. Katie is trained to identify urgency from the customer's language. 'Annual boiler service' or 'tap replacement' goes to routine scheduling. 'Burst pipe', 'flooding', 'no water', or 'sewage backup' gets emergency priority. She also asks specific questions to help you assess urgency before you call back.
Does whoza.ai work with my existing business phone number?
Yes. You keep your existing number. We set up call forwarding from your current line to your whoza.ai number. Most plumbers have this active within 10 minutes. No need to change business cards, van signage, or Google Business Profile.
How quickly can I get set up?
Most plumbers are live within 30 minutes. You choose your voice (Katie or one of 12 alternatives), set your greeting, configure your WhatsApp number, and activate call forwarding. We guide you through each step. No technical knowledge required.
Will customers know they're talking to AI?
Katie introduces herself as your AI assistant and explains that she's capturing details so you can call back prepared. Most customers are relieved to speak to someone immediately rather than leaving a voicemail. In our surveys, 89% of callers are satisfied with the AI experience.
Can Katie book plumbing appointments directly into my calendar?
Katie captures all the details needed for booking: customer name, phone, address, job type, urgency, and preferred time slots. While she doesn't directly write to your calendar, she delivers everything structured in a WhatsApp message that you can action in seconds. Zapier integration is available on Growth plans for automatic calendar syncing.
One Recovered Job Pays for the Whole Year
At £59/month, Katie costs less than one emergency callout. Most plumbers recover that cost within 48 hours.
