If you run a plumbing business, every call could be a potential emergency, new client, or business opportunity. The opportunity cost of a missed call could be high; yet responding to every call in real time can be challenging, especially for a small plumbing business or during non-business hours. This is where a professional answering service with 24/7 live agents can be a valuable asset for your plumbing business.

Benefits of A Professional 24/7 Answering Service for Plumbing Companies

When you hire an answering service, you can count on:
  • 24/7 Availability: Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. A professional answering service can ensure that your plumbing company is accessible to customers around the clock, helping you capture more business.
  • Emergency Response: In plumbing, quick response to emergencies is a must. If a customer is facing a plumbing emergency and you are not available immediately, the customer will most likely call the next plumber on the list. A professional answering service can prioritize emergency calls, alert your on-call technicians, and dispatch them to the scene promptly. This rapid response can be a lifesaver for customers facing water leaks, burst pipes, or other urgent issues, and will go a long way to earning customer loyalty.
  • Lead Intake: An answering service can answer calls on your behalf, providing a friendly and professional greeting to callers. They can collect essential information, such as the caller’s name, contact details, location, and the nature of their plumbing issue.
  • Appointment Scheduling: Answering services can manage your appointment calendar, allowing customers to book appointments at their convenience. This can help you avoid scheduling conflicts and ensure that your team is organized and efficient.
  • Message Delivery: Answering services can deliver messages to you or your team through various channels, including email, text messages, or phone calls. 
  • Improved Customer Service: Answering services are trained to handle customer inquiries and concerns effectively and courteously. They can provide information about your services, schedule appointments, and address common questions, enhancing the overall customer experience.
  • Cost-Effective: Hiring a full-time receptionist or administrative staff can be expensive for small to medium-sized plumbing companies. Outsourcing these services to a professional answering service is often more cost-effective, as you only pay for the services you use.
  • Bilingual Answering Agents: If your plumbing company serves a diverse customer base, especially in regions where multiple languages are spoken, having a bilingual professional answering service can be a significant advantage. 
  • Scalability and Seasonality: An answering service can scale its operations to match your needs during your busy season, slower seasons, and anything in between. Whether you’re a small plumbing business or a larger operation, you can adjust the level of service you require without the hassle of hiring or downsizing employees.
  • Professional Image: Having a trained, live person answer calls and address customer concerns conveys professionalism and reliability. It gives customers increased confidence in your plumbing services.
