The Plumbing Challenge
While you're working on-site, handling emergencies, or managing your plumbing business, valuable calls are going unanswered.
of lost leads never call back after one missed call
average monthly revenue lost to poor response
before customers try your competitor
Connecticut's brutal winters create $3,000+ burst pipe emergencies
During Hartford's punishing cold winters, burst pipes can release 48 bathtubs of water in one hour. At $195-260/hour emergency rates, these are $3,000+ jobs - but you're already fixing another frozen pipe.
Can't answer while handling sewage or soldering copper
You're torch-soldering copper lines, handling raw sewage, or contorted under a West Hartford kitchen sink. Connecticut plumbers average $39.44/hour in Hartford - every missed call is lost revenue.
Missing weekend calls that pay triple rates
Emergency plumbers charge 1.5-3x normal rates after hours. That's $195-260/hour versus your normal $45-150. Miss one weekend emergency? That's a $2,000 job to your competitor.
Hartford's 168+ service areas need instant response
From Windsor Locks to New Haven, when water is flooding, customers call 5-10 plumbers. With Connecticut's aging infrastructure and 8,000+ lead service lines, first responder wins the job.
You Can't Be Everywhere. But Iris Can.
The Real Numbers Behind Plumbing
Market data that shows why immediate call answering matters
What this means: Based on these numbers, a typical plumbing business could be missing thousands of dollars in revenue each month from unanswered calls. Every call you miss is likely going to a competitor who answers.
What This Means For Plumbing
Real situations where answering every call would make a difference
It's 2 AM and an emergency call comes in
Goes to voicemail. Customer calls your competitor.
Call answered professionally, emergency identified, you're alerted immediately
You're on a job site with dirty hands
Phone rings, you can't answer, miss the opportunity
Iris handles the call, books the appointment, texts you details
Multiple calls during busy season
Can only answer one, others go to voicemail
All calls answered simultaneously, every lead captured
These aren't hypothetical situations - they happen every day in plumbing.
The question isn't whether you're missing calls. It's how many opportunities you're losing.
