AI Automation for Plumbers

It's 2am and someone's hot water just died. You're asleep. They call three plumbers — the one who responds first gets the job. With AI, that's always you.

Built for Australian plumbing businesses

AI Overview

AI automation for plumbers handles emergency call triage, quote generation from job photos, automated scheduling, and review requests. Plumbing businesses using AI report capturing 30–50% more emergency jobs and saving 10+ hours per week on admin.

The three biggest profit killers in plumbing.

You're great at fixing pipes. But the admin is fixing you.

Emergency calls you can't answer

You're elbow-deep in a blocked drain. The phone rings. By the time you wash your hands and call back, they've already booked someone else. Emergency jobs are your highest-margin work — and you're missing them.

Quoting from the van is painful

Customer sends a photo of a leaking tap. You squint at it between jobs, try to remember your pricing, and type out a quote on your phone. Three days later. If you remember.

Reviews don't happen by themselves

You did a brilliant job. Customer was stoked. But you never asked for a review. Your competitor with half your skills has twice your Google reviews. AI asks every single time.

Four automations built for plumbing businesses.

From emergency triage to review collection — all on autopilot.

Emergency Triage

AI answers after-hours calls, assesses urgency (burst pipe vs dripping tap), and either dispatches immediately or books for next day. You only get woken up for real emergencies.

Photo Quote Automation

Customer sends a photo of the problem. AI identifies the issue, matches it to your pricing, and sends a quote within minutes. No more mental arithmetic in the van.

Smart Scheduling

AI books jobs based on location, urgency, and your availability. Groups nearby jobs together to cut drive time. No more criss-crossing the city.

Review Requests

Two hours after the job's done, AI sends a friendly SMS with a link to leave a Google review. Your 5-star count goes up without you saying a word.

Works with the software you already run.

We plug AI into your existing stack. No migration headaches.

Questions plumbers ask before signing up.

Can AI really triage emergency plumbing calls?
Yes. We train the AI on common plumbing emergencies — burst pipes, gas leaks, sewage backups. It asks the right questions, assesses urgency, and either dispatches you immediately or books a next-day appointment. You set the rules.
How does quoting from photos work?
The customer sends a photo via SMS or your website. AI identifies the issue (leaking tap, blocked drain, etc.), matches it to your pricing table, and generates a quote. You can set price ranges so the AI gives accurate ballpark figures instantly.
Will it work with ServiceM8?
Absolutely. We integrate with ServiceM8, AroFlo, and most plumbing software. Jobs created by AI flow straight into your existing system — no double-handling.
What if the AI gets it wrong on an emergency call?
You set the escalation rules. For anything potentially dangerous (gas leaks, flooding), the AI can be configured to always call you directly while simultaneously responding to the customer. Safety first, always.
How quickly can I get started?
Most plumbing businesses are fully set up within a week. We handle all the configuration, test everything, and train you on how to monitor it. Start with a free AI audit to see what makes sense for your business.
