handlo picks up every call — burst pipes at 2am included — qualifies the job, and texts you the address and urgency before the caller hangs up.
The average emergency plumbing job is worth $300–$800. A single missed after-hours call can cost more than a month of handlo.
A homeowner with water spreading across the floor calls in a panic. handlo answers instantly, captures the address and how bad it is, flags it as urgent, and texts your on-call tech — instead of the caller hitting voicemail and dialing the next plumber.
A contractor wants a bid on a re-pipe. handlo gathers the scope, property type, and timeline, then drops a qualified lead into your inbox so you can quote the jobs worth quoting.
Three calls land while your team is under a sink. handlo answers all of them at once, books the routine ones, and escalates the emergencies — no call goes to voicemail.
A cold-shower call at 6am gets answered, qualified by urgency and equipment, and routed to whoever is on rotation — with the details already captured.
Per-minute answering services charge you most on the night a main breaks and the phone does not stop. handlo is $49/mo to start with a fixed block of minutes and a cap you choose, so a bad night is not also an expensive one.
handlo recognizes an urgent job and pushes it to your on-call tech on WhatsApp or SMS in seconds — the difference between winning the job and losing it to the next listing.
Tell handlo about your services, hours, and service area. It answers in your business’s voice from day one — no scripts to write, no staff to train.
The caller is not calm and is rarely standing still. handlo opens by asking where the water is coming from and whether they can reach the stop tap, because that one answer decides whether this is a same-hour dispatch or a morning slot. It takes the address next, then the callback number, and repeats both back — a flooded hallway is exactly the environment in which a digit gets misheard.
By the time the caller hangs up, the job is already on your phone: the address, the words they used to describe the failure, whether water is still running, and an urgency flag. Nobody has to replay four voicemails at 6am to work out which one was the emergency.
Most plumbing businesses run on a mobile number and a calendar rather than dispatch software, so handlo sits in front of whatever you already use.
