For plumbers
AI receptionist for plumbers
When a pipe bursts at 11pm, the homeowner calls the next plumber if you don't pick up. RingDispatch answers on the first ring, judges how urgent it is, and either books the job or pages you for a true emergency — so the call that pays for your week never goes to voicemail.

Sample call
Hear how it handles a real plumber call
- CallerHi — a pipe burst under my kitchen sink and there's water everywhere. Can someone come out?
- ReceptionistOkay — first, can you reach the shutoff valve under the sink and turn it clockwise to stop the water?
- CallerGot it, it's slowing down. Thank you. How soon can someone get here?
- ReceptionistI'm flagging this as an emergency and paging a plumber now. Let me confirm your address and a callback number — you'll get a text with the technician's name, and another when they're on the way.
A burst-pipe emergency, answered and dispatched in under a minute — listen to the whole call.
The stakes
What a missed call costs plumbers
- After-hours emergencies go to voicemail and the customer calls a competitor
- You're under a sink with both hands busy while the phone rings out
- No record of who called, what they needed, or whether anyone called back

FAQ
Common questions
- Can it tell a real emergency from a routine job?
- Yes. Burst pipes, flooding, and gas smells are flagged as emergencies and you're paged right away; routine work like a slow drain is booked into the next open slot.
- Does it work after hours and on weekends?
- Round the clock. You decide whether after-hours emergencies page you or just get booked for the morning.
- Will it quote prices?
- It quotes the call-out or diagnostic fee you set. It won't guess at a job total it can't see — it books the visit so you can quote on site.
