“If we don't answer, they call the next plumber.”
~$60 per missed call at a typical $350 job. Burst pipes and sewer backups run far higher.
JoblureAnswers instantly, 24/7, on every line at once.
For plumbing companies
Every missed call is a burst pipe someone else fixes.
Joblure answers in seconds, day or night, books the job, and only wakes your on-call plumber for real emergencies.

Your on-call plumber only wakes up for real emergencies.
Where the money leaks
You don't have a lead problem. You have a phone problem.
A homeowner with water on the floor calls down the Google list until someone picks up. The first plumber to answer gets the job.
“My on-call guy gets woken up for dripping faucets.”
Burned-out techs and worse night service.
JoblureTriage: active leaks, no water and sewage go live to on-call. Everything else is booked for the morning.
“We pay ~$57 a lead and still miss some.”
Every unanswered paid lead is money spent twice.
JoblureAnswers Google Local Services calls and messages in seconds, so the leads you pay for get answered.

Hear it
Three calls every plumbing company gets.
2am burst pipe
- CallerA pipe burst under the sink and it's everywhere.
- JoblureIf you can do it safely, turn off the main shutoff valve. I'm connecting you to Dave, our on-call plumber, and texting him your address now.
"How much for a water heater?"
- CallerHow much do you charge to replace a water heater?
- JoblureMost standard tank replacements run about $1,200 to $1,800, depending on size and access. A plumber gives you the exact price on site. Is tomorrow at 10 good?
Dripping faucet at 11pm
- CallerNot an emergency, my kitchen faucet just won't stop dripping.
- JoblureNo problem. I can get someone out tomorrow at 9. You'll get a text when they're on the way.

Fair questions
What plumbing companies ask us.
An AI can't handle a flooding customer.
It doesn't try to. It gives your approved safety steps and connects your on-call plumber in seconds.
Customers want a price.
They get your service-call fee and the price ranges you approve, in your words. Never a binding quote.
Will it book jobs we don't do?
It knows your service list and area, and politely turns away the rest.
Do callers know they're talking to AI?
Yes. Joblure says up front that it's your business's AI assistant and that the call may be recorded, so you stay on the right side of disclosure and recording laws.
What happens on day 14?
You get a results text: calls answered, jobs booked and what they're worth. Keep going for $297 a month, or cancel with one tap and pay nothing.
Is there a contract?
No. It's month to month. You keep your phone number; Joblure only picks up the calls you don't.
