We used to call back every missed call before going home. LocalFlow took that off our plate — the text-back runs itself at 2am, and we still get the job booked in the morning when we check the CRM.

Plumbing shops who stopped losing after-hours leads

“A homeowner called about a slab leak at 10pm on a Tuesday — we were finishing another job. LocalFlow texted her back in seconds, she replied, and we had a $4,200 re-route booked before the morning. That's a job that would have gone to whoever voicemail her tomorrow.”

Carlos R. Bluewave Plumbing, Tampa FL

“Weekend water-heater calls used to roll over to Monday and the customer had already called three other plumbers. Now the text-back goes out in under a minute, and we're catching those Saturday jobs before anyone else even sees them.”

Priya N. Anchor Plumbing & Heating, Seattle WA

“Property managers call us for 30+ unit complexes. One missed dispatch can lose the whole contract. The 24/7 text-back logged two emergency calls last month that would've slipped through between trucks — both booked within an hour.”

Brett W. Westside Plumbing Co., Columbus OH

Plumber FAQ

How much does it cost?

Two plans: a $1,000 one-time setup or $500/month. No hidden fees, no per-call charges, no per-SMS charges. You lock in the price when you sign up and it stays flat.

How long does setup take?

Most plumbing shops are live within 48 hours of signing up. We configure your number, your text-back template, and your CRM — you just answer the intake form and we do the rest.

Will it respond to after-hours emergency calls and weekend leak calls?

Yes. The system runs 24/7/365. A burst-pipe call on a Sunday night gets the same instant text-back as a Tuesday-afternoon drain-inquiry — and the SMS flags urgent situations so you see them the moment you pick up your phone.

Does it work if my number is already on Google, Yelp, or my truck magnets?

Yes. We forward your existing business line — you keep the number on every listing and every truck. No porting, no new hardware. Callers dial the same number they've always dialed.

Can I customize the message?

Whatever you want. You pick the wording during onboarding. Most plumbers use something like: “Thanks for calling — we're on a job right now. A plumber will call you back within 30 minutes to schedule. Reply URGENT for emergency dispatch.” We tune it for your voice.

What if a caller asks about pricing for a water heater or drain cleaning?

The text-back lets them know a plumber will follow up with specifics. You control the message — many shops include a line like “Reply with your address and the issue, and we'll have a quote ready when we call you back.” It captures the lead and pre-qualifies the job before you spend a minute on the phone.
