Every Missed Plumbing Call Is a Job Going to Your Competitor

When a customer's basement is filling with water, they don't leave a voicemail. Here's what falls through the cracks when there's no one to pick up.

Emergency leaks lose to whoever answers first

Burst pipes, flooded basements, sewer backups — these calls go to the first plumber who picks up. Voicemail loses them every time.

After-hours and weekend revenue evaporates

Most plumbing emergencies happen evenings and weekends. If your line rolls to voicemail, that revenue belongs to the competition.

Estimates that don't get returned go cold

Homeowners pricing a repipe or water heater call three companies. The first one to actually answer usually wins the work.

Routine jobs get buried under emergencies

When the office is slammed with urgent calls, drain cleanings and fixture installs slip — and customers go elsewhere.

Zevaux checks your calendar, offers real availability, and books the job. Customer gets a confirmation text immediately.

Built for the Way Plumbing Companies Actually Work

24/7 emergency answering

Burst pipes don't keep business hours. Zevaux picks up day, night, weekends, and holidays.

Emergency detection

Recognizes 'no water,' active leak, sewer backup, and gas-leak callouts. Escalates immediately to your on-call plumber.

Smart job qualification

Asks fixture type, location of issue, and water shut-off status — so your tech rolls up prepared.

Instant SMS dispatch

Two-way texting with the customer if needed, plus immediate SMS to your team the moment a job is captured.

Trained on your business

Your service area, the brands you carry, your minimum service charge, what you do and don't service.

Bilingual support

Handles Spanish-speaking callers natively. Capture every customer in your area, not just English speakers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from plumbing owners evaluating Zevaux.

Most don't. Zevaux uses a natural conversational voice with no IVR menus or robotic prompts. We train it on your business name, your services, and your tone so it sounds like part of your team.
Zevaux recognizes plumbing emergencies and tags them as urgent. It captures address, customer details, and what's happening, then texts your on-call plumber immediately. You define who gets paged, when, and how.
Traditional answering services have limited hours, charge per call, miss technical details, and almost always pass calls back to your team for actual booking. Zevaux answers in seconds, captures the right job details, and books service directly into your calendar.
Yes. During setup you define your service area, fixtures and brands you carry, minimum service charge, and what you do and don't service. Zevaux uses that to qualify and answer accurately.
Most plumbing companies use Zevaux to extend their team — overflow, after-hours, weekends — not to replace a great office manager. It's there so your staff can focus on dispatch and customers, not phone tag.
Under 5 minutes for the basics. Most plumbers are taking real customer calls the same day they sign up.
Yes. Forward your existing business line to Zevaux — every phone system supports call forwarding. No new hardware, no port-out.
