AI Receptionist for Fresno Plumbers in California

What a missed call costs a small Fresno company

When you are under a sink in Fresno or driving out toward Clovis, nobody picks up. A caller with a backed-up drain or a cracked line does not leave a long message. They call the next plumber on the search results. For a small company, each unanswered call is a job you never see, and those losses add up week after week.

A normal day, the Friday after Thanksgiving

The Friday after Thanksgiving, a kitchen drain backs up in a home near Sunnyside in Fresno after the family dinner. The homeowner calls at 7:40 in the morning. Clara answers in English, asks what is happening, where the water is and whether it is still rising. She checks your calendar, finds the first free slot, reads back the date and address and asks for confirmation. You are on a job in Selma at the time. When the call ends, you get the alert on your phone.

What you get after every call

• A summary of the problem in your language, with the caller's name and address verified.
• The visit booked in your calendar, with the date and time the caller confirmed.
• An immediate alert on your phone, or a direct transfer if the call is urgent.
• A confirmation text you send from your own phone, only if the customer agrees.
