Plumbing emergencies don’t wait until you crawl out from under a sink. When a homeowner has a burst pipe, backed-up main line, or leaking water heater, they call down Google search results until a live voice answers. Kolivri’s 24/7 AI phone answering for plumbers picks up on the first ring and books the dispatch.
Emergency Plumbing Triage vs Routine Quote Scheduling
Connected to Kolivri’s trades CRM, your voice agent asks whether water is actively flooding, instructs the homeowner on shutting off the main valve if needed, records the street address, and either transfers urgent emergencies to your mobile or books a standard service window.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the AI distinguish an active water leak from a routine quote request?
Yes. Custom triage prompts classify active flooding as high urgency and can immediately forward the call to your on-call technician.
Does it work while my hands are full on a job?
Yes. Conditional call forwarding (*61* no answer / *67* busy) routes calls to Kolivri whenever you cannot pick up.
