You cannot answer the phone with a wrench in your hand. When a call rings out, Never-Miss-a-Lead texts that customer back in under a minute and puts the lead in one inbox, so a burst pipe at 7pm books with you instead of the next name on the list.
$199 setup + $99/month — $298 first month total, then $99/month
Month-to-month — cancel anytime, no long contract. Live by the date we agree, or your setup fee comes back in full — guaranteed.
Free trial: 14 days on the website-form path — every form fill gets an instant reply by email. No card, and the trial stops on its own at day 14. Text replies aren’t part of the trial: they need carrier registration, which starts with the plan. To continue, it’s $199 setup + $99/month.
What happens when a plumbing call is missed
A homeowner calls about a leak, a dead water heater, or a drain backing up. You are on a job and the call rings out.
Under a minute later, their phone buzzes: a text that says you got the call and asks what is happening at the house.
Their reply lands in one inbox, flagged urgent if water is still running, so you call back the right job first.
Sample moment
Sample: Tuesday, 7:20 PM. A pipe bursts under a kitchen sink. The owner of the shop is finishing a water heater install across town and misses the call. The customer gets a text in under a minute, replies “water everywhere, shutoff is off,” and the lead lands in the owner's inbox flagged “Emergency — burst pipe.” He calls back on his way home and books the first slot in the morning.
A sample moment — this is how it works, shown with made-up names.
Why the first reply matters
About 27% of home-services calls go unanswered, and on weekends the unanswered share runs about 41%, against about 18% on weekdays (Invoca, 2025).
Conversion was 8× higher when the first call came within 5 minutes (XANT, 2021 — 5.7 million leads studied).
These are industry studies, not a count of your shop's calls. Your missed calls are the number that counts. The math below uses your numbers, not ours.
Do the math with your own numbers
Calls you miss in a week × your average job ticket × the share of those jobs you would have won. One saved job a month covers the $99 several times over for most shops. If your number comes out under $99, do not buy it.

Questions plumbers ask
What does a customer get when I miss their call?
A text back in under a minute, day or night. It says you got their call and asks what they need. Their reply lands in one inbox, and urgent jobs are flagged first.
I already have an office person. Is this still useful?
Only for the hours nobody is in the office. Nights, weekends, lunch, and the times the one phone is already tied up on another call. If every call already gets picked up right away, you do not need this.
Does it answer my phone live?
No. It follows up by text after a call is missed. If you want a voice to pick up the call itself, see the AI Phone Receptionist from Northbeam Builds.
What does it cost a plumbing shop, in total?
$199 to set it up, then $99 a month. The first month is $298 total. Month-to-month, no long contract, and no per-message bill.
How long does setup take?
You fill in a short form, about five minutes, with your hours, services, and where leads should go. We build it, you test it on your own phone, then it goes live. Text replies need a carrier registration that takes 2–5 business days. The email path goes live right away.
