Stop Losing $600 Calls to Voicemail: Automate Your Plumbing Dispatch
We integrate ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro with AI to handle 24/7 triage, instant estimate follow-ups, and automated maintenance plan reminders.
In the plumbing industry, the first company to answer the phone usually wins the $400-$800 emergency ticket. During seasonal surges—such as the first hard freeze in the North or heavy rain in Southern California—office managers are often overwhelmed by drain cleaning requests and pipe burst emergencies, leading to dropped leads and inefficient technician routing. Furthermore, many plumbers leave significant revenue on the table by failing to follow up on high-ticket estimates for water heater replacements or whole-home repiping projects.
Read Laboratories bridges this gap by connecting your field service management (FSM) software with intelligent automation layers. We ensure every emergency call is triaged by urgency and every open quote is nurtured through a systematic follow-up sequence. This allows your team to focus on the wrenches while our systems handle the paperwork and lead capture, ensuring you never lose a job to the competitor down the street just because they picked up the phone faster.
Problems We Solve
24/7 Emergency Call Triage
Eliminate the cost of traditional answering services with AI-driven SMS or voice triage that identifies high-priority pipe bursts vs. routine leaks, routing the $1,000+ emergency to your on-call tech immediately.
The 'Ghosted' Estimate
Automated multi-channel follow-up via SMS and Email for large quotes like sewer line replacements, increasing conversion rates by up to 22% without requiring your office staff to manually call customers.
Seasonal Scheduling Bottlenecks
Dynamic scheduling adjustments during surge events, automatically prioritizing existing maintenance plan members and high-margin jobs while managing wait-time expectations for routine service calls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?
Yes, we specialize in deep API integrations or custom middleware via Make/Zapier to ensure data flows bi-directionally between your FSM and our automation tools without creating duplicate records.
How does it handle emergency vs. non-emergency calls?
We build logic-based triage paths. If a customer mentions 'water gushing' or 'sewage backup,' the system triggers an immediate technician alert. If it's a 'leaky faucet,' it offers a standard booking link for the next business day.
Will my dispatchers lose their jobs?
No. This tool is designed to empower your dispatchers. It removes the burden of data entry and 'check-in' calls, allowing them to focus on complex routing and high-touch customer service.
Can it help with seasonal surges like pipe bursts?
Absolutely. We can toggle a 'Surge Mode' that prioritizes high-value emergency tickets and automatically manages customer expectations regarding wait times via automated SMS updates.
How long does the setup take?
Most plumbing automation workflows are fully integrated and live within 14 to 21 days, including a rigorous testing phase with your current field technicians to ensure the mobile experience is seamless.
Is it compliant with local plumbing codes?
While our software doesn't pull permits, it can automate the document collection process and photo uploads required for local building department inspections and compliance reporting.
