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.

"I used to miss 5 emergency calls a week because I was under sinks fixing pipes. In 4 weeks using whoza.ai, I captured 19 jobs I would have missed, recovering £6,800 in revenue. It cost me £59 for the month."

Questions Plumbers Ask
Everything you need to know about AI call answering for plumbing businesses.
How much does AI call answering cost for plumbers?
whoza.ai starts at £59/month for the Starter plan. That's less than one emergency callout fee. You get unlimited AI call answering, WhatsApp delivery, and a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Most plumbers recover the cost within 48 hours by capturing just one missed job.
Can Katie handle burst pipe emergencies at 2am?
Absolutely. Katie answers 24/7 including nights, weekends, and bank holidays. She identifies emergency keywords like 'burst pipe', 'flooding', 'no water', and 'leak through ceiling' — then marks the enquiry as emergency priority in your WhatsApp alert. You see it immediately and can call back within minutes.
What information does Katie collect from plumbing customers?
Katie captures: full name, phone number, postcode, property type (house/flat/commercial), problem description (burst pipe, boiler breakdown, blocked drain, leak), urgency level, preferred appointment time, and how they found you. For emergencies, she also asks about water shut-off status and property damage extent.
Will customers know they're talking to AI?
Katie introduces herself as your digital assistant with a natural, professional voice. Most callers appreciate the instant response over voicemail or a ringing phone. In user surveys, 89% of callers are satisfied with the AI experience — they just want their leak fixed fast.
Does it work with my existing business phone number?
Yes. You simply set up call forwarding from your existing plumbing business number to your whoza.ai number. Your customers dial the same number they've always used — Katie just answers when you can't. Setup takes under 10 minutes.
How quickly can I get set up?
Most plumbers are live and capturing calls within 30 minutes. Sign up, connect your number via call forwarding, set your greeting and business details, and Katie starts answering immediately. No hardware, no IT team, no technical knowledge required.
Can Katie book plumbing appointments directly into my calendar?
Yes. Katie checks your connected calendar availability and offers specific time slots to customers. When they confirm, the appointment is saved to your calendar and both parties receive confirmation. You can also tap 'Accept' or 'Call Back' in your WhatsApp alert to manage enquiries manually.
What happens if Katie can't handle a complex plumbing enquiry?
Katie is trained to recognise when a call needs human attention. For complex quotes or unusual situations, she takes a detailed message and flags it for your immediate callback. You receive the full context in WhatsApp so you can call back prepared with all the details.
