AI Answering Service for Plumbers

You're under a sink fixing a leak. The phone rings 3 times while you're elbow-deep in copper. That's $1,050 in emergency calls that just called someone else. Claudessa costs $29/mo.

Up and running in 3 steps

No forms. No setup wizard. We learn your plumbing business the old-fashioned way — by talking to you.

Step 1

Sign up in 30 seconds

Name, phone, email. No credit card. Your 2-month free trial starts immediately.

Step 2

We call you to learn your plumbing business

Claudessa calls you and spends as long as it takes learning your rates, service area, emergency procedures, whether you do commercial, residential, or both — everything a new receptionist would need to know. No forms. No typing.

Step 3

Every plumbing call answered, 24/7

Emergency drain backup at 2 AM? Claudessa answers, asks the right questions, gives your emergency rate, and texts you the details. Routine service request? Booked on the spot. You never miss another plumbing call.

Emergency Ready

Handles plumbing emergencies the right way.

Burst pipe. Sewage backup. No hot water in January. Your callers need help NOW — not voicemail. Claudessa knows your emergency callout rate, knows which situations qualify as emergencies, and knows when to text you immediately vs. book a next-day appointment. It asks the right questions: what's the problem, where's the shutoff valve, is there standing water? Then it sends you everything you need to dispatch.

Missed Call — Tuesday 9:14 PM

Burst pipe. Caller hung up after 6 rings.

Answered — Tuesday 9:14 PM

Emergency: burst pipe in kitchen. Water shutoff located. Homeowner given your emergency rate ($185). You texted immediately with full details.

Deep Knowledge

Knows YOUR plumbing business — because we asked.

Other answering services hand your callers a script reader who doesn't know a water heater from a boiler. Claudessa learns your business through a real conversation: Do you install tankless? What's your service area? Do you offer financing? Emergency callout rate? What do you charge for a drain clearing? The result: callers get real answers, not "I'll have someone call you back."

Common questions about plumber answering services

How much does an answering service for plumbers cost?

Claudessa starts at $29/mo for 100 calls. Growth ($69/mo) covers 300 calls. Pro ($129/mo) is unlimited. All plans include a 2-month free trial with no credit card required. Compare that to traditional answering services at $200-400/mo or a full-time receptionist at $2,000+/mo.

Can an AI answering service handle plumbing emergencies?

Yes. During onboarding, Claudessa learns your emergency protocol — what qualifies as an emergency, your emergency callout rate, and whether to text you immediately or transfer the call live. It asks callers the right questions (where's the shutoff valve, is there standing water) and sends you everything you need to dispatch.

How does Claudessa learn my plumbing business?

We call you and have a real conversation. No forms, no scripting. Claudessa learns your rates (drain clearing, water heater install, emergency callout), service area, specialties (residential, commercial, or both), financing options, and how you want calls handled. It takes as long as needed.

What happens when a caller asks about a service Claudessa doesn't know about?

Claudessa takes a detailed message and flags the knowledge gap. Your next sync call covers the new topic — whether it's tankless water heater installs, sewer line repairs, or commercial contracts. From then on, Claudessa handles it.

Is Claudessa better than a traditional plumber answering service?

Traditional services use script readers who don't know a water heater from a boiler. Claudessa actually learns your business — your rates, service area, emergency procedures, and specialties. Callers get real answers instead of "I'll have someone call you back." And it costs a fraction of the price.

Hear it for yourself.

Enter your number. Claudessa calls you in 30 seconds — as the receptionist for a real plumbing company. Ask about drain clearing prices. Report an emergency. Book an appointment. Then imagine that's YOUR business.
