What about emergency calls — flooding, no water?

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.

Does it replace my number or my voicemail?

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.

How is this different from a call center?

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 one forwarding code to dial on your phone. Most shops are live in 3-5 business days, once the carriers clear the number.

Do you cover all of the Fort Worth metro?

Yes. Any plumbing company serving Fort Worth and the surrounding zips can use it, and the text back goes out 24/7.

What happens on an emergency call I miss?

The caller gets your booking link by text within seconds, and their reply lands in your leads with their number. Triage happens when you call back — nothing reads a script at a Fort Worth customer with water running.

Does it quote off my rate card?

No. Risacare doesn't quote prices. You give the number on the callback, once you know what the job actually is.

Does the caller get to book a time?

Yes — that's the point of the link. Connect Google Calendar or Cal.com and the slot they pick lands on your real availability; otherwise we text a booking page you already use.

Works with ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?

No — there's no dispatch-software sync, and we'd rather say so here than after you've paid. The booked slot is on your calendar and the caller's number is in your leads; you enter the Fort Worth job in the tool you already run.

For plumbers

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 — from your number, in seconds, before they dial the next result on Google.

30 seconds

Both hands under a sink. The phone rings anyway.

You can't stop mid-job to answer, and nobody leaves a voicemail any more — they call the next shop on the list. Watch what a caller gets instead: a text back from your number, in about thirty seconds, while you keep working.

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.

From your number, carrier-verified

Texts send from a real local number registered to your business (A2P), 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 the $427 average residential plumbing job (HomeAdvisor, 2024). Five recovered jobs a week comes to:

$2,135

Per week

$9,250

Per month

$111k

Per year

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.

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, sent from your business number.
