Plumbing

A flooded basement doesn't leave a voicemail.

Burst pipes and backups are right-now jobs that go to the first plumber who answers. We pick up 24/7, walk the customer to their shutoff to stop the damage, and book the call before it goes cold — all run for you.

What's leaking, in Plumbing numbers

About a third of home-service calls come after hours, and most callers who hit voicemail never leave a message — they call the next number.

A typical Plumbing service call is worth about $340 (an after-hours call, closer to $400; a replacement, $3,500). Recover just one missed job a week and that's about $1,360/month back in your pocket — the kind of number the missed-call estimate estimates for your actual phone.

Illustration using industry-benchmark averages, not a promise. Tickets: Angi/HomeAdvisor (2024–2026). Leakage uses conservative cross-trade floors (missed-call 27%, after-hours ~30%, no-voicemail ~67%); higher industry figures are vendor-sourced and omitted.

We triage Plumbing calls the way you would

The front office knows the difference between an emergency and a routine job — because it's tuned to your trade, not a generic script.

  • emergencyburst pipe / active flooding

    Active water is an emergency. Tell them where the main shutoff is (usually basement/crawlspace or by the meter) to stop the flooding, then book the earliest slot available and tell them the team will confirm the timing.

  • emergencyno water / sewage backup

    No water or a sewage backup needs the earliest slot there is. Get the address and whether it's the whole house or one fixture, and book the soonest opening.

  • urgentwater heater leaking / no hot water

    A leaking tank can fail fast — book within 24h. If it's actively leaking, have them shut off the water and (for gas) the gas valve.

  • standardslow drain / dripping faucet / running toilet

    Schedule into the next standard window; note the fixture so the tech comes prepared.

Ready for your busy season

  • Frozen/burst-pipe season — cold snaps drive a spike of emergency calls; prioritize same-day dispatch and push pipe-freeze prevention content.

  • Spring thaw + heavy rain — sump-pump failures and basement backups; promote sump-pump checks.

In the field

A frozen pipe letting go in a Lansing basement during a January cold snap is a right-now job — Pocket Funnel answers after hours, walks them to the shutoff, and books the truck before they dial anyone else.
