Plumbing calls are urgent and they don’t wait. A burst pipe or a backed-up drain goes to whoever answers first, and you’re usually on a job with both hands busy. Most shops miss a quarter or more of their calls — and a missed emergency is a customer gone for good.

How the estimate works

We keep the math simple and show every assumption so you can adjust it to your business:

  • Missed calls per month = calls per week × the share you miss × about 4.3 weeks.
  • Lost customers = those missed calls × the share that would have become a customer (your close rate).
  • Lost revenue = lost customers × your average job value.

It’s deliberately conservative: it only counts callers who would have booked, not every ring. Change any number above and the estimate updates instantly. This is a sizing tool, not a guarantee.

What it would take to stop the leak

You don’t need to hire a receptionist or answer the phone at midnight. EchoAnswers picks up every call you can’t — after hours, on a job, or when the line’s busy — books appointments, answers your common questions, and emails you a summary of each call. It works on the number you already have through call forwarding, with nothing to install.

It’s one flat price: $99/month, 600 call minutes included, then $0.50 per additional minute, itemized on every invoice. No setup fees, no contracts, 30-day money-back guarantee, and you keep your own number.

Frequently asked questions

Why do plumbers miss so many calls?

You’re under a sink or driving between jobs with both hands busy, and emergencies come at night and on weekends. A caller with a flooding bathroom won’t leave a voicemail — they dial the next plumber.

What is one missed plumbing call really worth?

An emergency call-out plus the repair behind it — often hundreds of dollars, and sometimes a re-pipe or water-heater job worth far more. Put your own average ticket into the calculator above.
