A plumbing answering service that texts back — not a message pad.
You're under a sink when the phone rings out. Risacare catches the miss: the caller hears a short greeting, and your booking link is already in their texts, in seconds, before they dial the next result on Google.
Both hands under a sink. The phone rings anyway.
Tap to play — it has sound.
Why plumbers pick Risacare over a call center
No per-minute fees
Flat $79/mo with no per-call or per-text charges. Never a $1,400 surprise bill after a big storm.
The text beats the message pad
No message emailed 15 minutes later — the caller has your booking link while the missed call is still warm.
Replies reach you, not a call floor
When the caller texts back, it lands in your leads with their number and you get an alert. You call back; nobody reads a script at your customer.
Carrier-verified sending
Texts send from a real local number registered to your business (A2P — the carrier registration that keeps your texts out of spam), with STOP and HELP handled automatically.
The math on missed plumbing calls
Worked example, assumptions on the table: you take 40 calls a week, 10 ring out, and you'd have won half of those at a $427 average residential plumbing job (an illustrative estimate, not a cited industry figure). Five recovered jobs a week comes to:
Those are our assumptions, not your numbers, and not a promise — the only figures worth acting on are your own call log's. The calculator takes yours.
Plumbing FAQ
The caller hears a short professional greeting — thanks for calling, we've just texted you a link to book — and the text is already on their phone.
The text back goes out instantly, and the caller's reply lands in your leads with their number so you can call back between jobs. Real triage happens on your callback — we don't put a script between you and an emergency.
No. It's a forward-on-no-answer on your existing line. Calls you catch live never touch it, and voicemail stays as a backstop for callers who prefer it.
No per-minute fees and no stranger reading a script at your customer. It answers the miss with an instant text in seconds, flat $79 a month, and every catch is logged.
We provision a textable business number, register it with the carriers, and give you the forwarding codes for your carrier, so a call rolls over whether you miss it or you're already on the line. Most shops are live in 3-5 business days, once the carriers clear the number.
