Plumber answering service
A plumber answering service for the calls you cannot take mid-job.
Keep your hands on the work, not on a ringing phone.
You may be under a sink when the next customer calls about a leak. VoiceLlama can take that first conversation, collect the caller’s description and capture the location and callback details. Your team reviews the message and decides the response—without an AI promising a visit or giving repair instructions.
Works with your existing phone number.

- 01
Separate symptoms from a diagnosis
Collect the caller’s own description, the room involved and the property address. Do not turn “water under the sink” into a diagnosis or a quote before a qualified person has assessed the work.
- 02
Capture access and contact details
Ask who can authorize the visit and how they prefer to be contacted. Avoid sensitive door codes or payment-card details; arrange access through your own approved process.
- 03
Keep urgent language visible
A caller’s urgency belongs in the message for your team to review. Intake is not a monitored emergency channel, and it must not leave someone expecting an automatic dispatch.
How a call becomes a usable lead
- 1
Define the intake questions
Start with location, callback contact and the reported problem. Add distinctions such as residential versus commercial only when useful to your team.
- 2
Set expectations for callbacks
Give the agent approved wording about what your business can confirm. Do not promise the next available appointment unless your team has actually agreed to it.
- 3
Review and contact the customer
Use the summary to prepare, then check the transcript where a detail matters. Your team confirms the visit, scope and price.
Limitations to know before you start
- VoiceLlama is not an emergency service, flood-response dispatcher or substitute for professional safety advice. Immediate danger requires the appropriate emergency service.
- A captured leak report does not mean a plumber has been assigned or a request has been resolved.
- Solo is $39/month with 250 included minutes, not unlimited usage. Additional AI voice time is billable under your account terms; review checkout and funding settings.
- Available summaries and transcripts can be reviewed in your account. Email recaps depend on notification settings. Customer SMS delivery is not active.
