Relay Plumbing™

First to the emergency.

A burst pipe at 2 a.m. won't wait for business hours, and the plumber who answers first wins the job. Relay triages urgent from routine, books by proximity, and never lets a call reach voicemail.

The Revenue Team That Never Misses a Lead

Watch Relay answer the call, qualify the lead, and book the job, so you can see what a full revenue department on your side looks like.

The Problem

With 60% of inbound calls being emergencies, plumbing companies face constant triage pressure. Office staff juggle urgent calls, routine bookings, and dispatch simultaneously. After-hours calls go to voicemail, and mornings are spent returning messages while new calls pour in.

The Relay Solution

Relay triages urgent vs. non-urgent calls, provides upfront pricing ranges, and books appointments based on technician availability and proximity. Emergency calls route instantly with no on-call dispatcher needed. Routine jobs fill schedule gaps automatically.

Built for Plumbing Companies

Every puddle starts with a call

Emergency Triage Engine

Relay distinguishes a burst pipe from a dripping faucet instantly, routing true emergencies for immediate dispatch while scheduling routine work during normal hours.

Geographic Dispatch Routing

Relay schedules jobs based on technician location and current route, minimizing drive time and maximizing the number of jobs each tech completes per day.

Upfront Pricing Ranges

Relay gives callers accurate price ranges before the tech arrives, setting expectations and cutting on-site pricing objections.

Recurring Service Opportunities

Relay spots water heater age, pipe material, and other triggers for proactive maintenance offers, turning one-time calls into long-term customers.

The 2 a.m. Burst Pipe

Water is pouring into somebody's kitchen at 2 a.m.

A pipe bursts in a home in the dark of night. The homeowner is in a panic, water spreading across the floor. They call three plumbers. Two go to voicemail. Yours, with Relay, answers on the first ring.

Answered: Relay answers instantly, confirms it is a true emergency, and captures the address, what is leaking, and whether water is still flowing.
Dispatched: Relay routes the emergency to the nearest on-call tech and books the call, no dispatcher needed at this hour.
Priced: The homeowner gets a clear price range on the spot, so the tech arrives with expectations already set.
Converted: A calm, immediate response builds trust that turns a one-time emergency into a repeat-call customer.
