The moment that costs you
Why plumbers lose calls
A homeowner with a leak does not leave a voicemail and wait. They call the next plumber on the list. If you are mid-job, driving, or off the clock, the first business to reply usually keeps the job.
Calls arrive while you are working
You cannot pick up with a wrench in your hand, so every job in progress creates a stretch of unanswered calls.
Emergencies do not wait
Burst pipes and backed-up drains are urgent. Callers move on quickly when nobody responds.
After-hours calls go cold
Evening and weekend calls sit in voicemail until morning, by which time the customer may have booked someone else.
Sample message
A text-back message that fits

Replace the bracketed name with your own. Edit it freely in TextBack.
Tips
Getting the most from it
- Ask one triage question (emergency or not) so you can prioritise replies.
- Set a different message for after-hours so expectations are clear.
- Include your service area if you get many out-of-area calls.

You choose the delay. The default is 15 seconds, and you can also set business-hours behaviour so after-hours callers get a message that fits.
Can I reply from my phone?
