Why a missed call costs a plumbing company more
Plumbing emergencies do not wait. A burst pipe in a Houston bathroom can flood the living room within an hour. The homeowner is not looking for a plumber next month. They want one today, and if nobody answers the first call, they dial the next name on Google.
You are under a sink with wet hands or in an attic with a headlamp. The phone rings and you cannot reach it. Every unanswered call on a Saturday night is a job that goes to another company, and often they do not even leave a message.
Spanish-speaking customers in Texas
Many homeowners in Texas prefer Spanish when something goes wrong at home. Clara opens the call in English, asks which language the caller prefers and continues in that language. You receive the summary in English, so you do not have to listen to the full recording.
How a call goes with Clara
Clara answers and asks what is happening
She wants to know if it is a leak, a burst or frozen pipe, no hot water, a clogged drain or a sewage backup.
She asks where and whether water is still running
If water is still flowing, Clara helps the caller close the main shut-off valve, or the valve under the sink or behind the toilet. If there is a gas smell, she tells them to leave the house and call 911 or the gas company from outside.
She books the plumber visit
She checks your free slots, offers a time and confirms by reading back the date and address. If your visits carry a trip or diagnostic fee, Clara says so as you configured it, without stating amounts.
She notifies you on your phone
You get the summary in English. A burst pipe or sewage backup is flagged urgent and can be transferred straight to your phone.
What the owner gets
A summary of every call
Name, address, what is happening and whether water is still running, translated into your language in the built-in CRM.
The visit on your calendar
Clara only offers times you have free and books the visit with the date and address confirmed.
SMS confirmation from your phone
You send the confirmation with one tap from your own phone, and only when the customer has given consent.
Alert or transfer
An urgent leak reaches you right away, and you can ask Clara to transfer the call to you.
Busy seasons for plumbers in Texas
Cold snaps freeze and burst pipes in Texas homes, many of which have pipes in attics or exterior walls. In February 2021 Winter Storm Uri brought days of freezing temperatures across Texas and widespread frozen and burst pipes. The days after Thanksgiving are also busy for drain calls.
No prices on the phone: if you configure it that way, Clara does not quote prices. She explains that the exact cost is confirmed at the visit.
