What happens when a pipe bursts at 2 AM and nobody answers?
A self-assessment for plumbing companies who do great work but lose jobs to the phone, the inbox and the follow-up nobody has time for.
The Six Gaps Costing Plumbing Companies Real Money
None of these are about the quality of your work. They're about what happens when the phone rings and every plumber is under a sink.
Water on the Floor
A homeowner with water coming through the ceiling isn't comparing prices. They're calling until someone answers.
Wet Hands, Ringing Phone
Your plumbers are in crawl spaces and under sinks. The phone rings out and the caller dials the next name.
Freeze Weeks and Holidays
A hard freeze or a holiday weekend brings every burst pipe and backed-up drain at once, when the fewest people are around to answer.
Bigger Quotes That Go Quiet
You quoted a water heater or a sewer line. The homeowner is thinking it over, and nobody followed up. A sewer line replacement averages about $3,300.

Customers You Never Hear From Again
You fixed the leak, and that was the last time you talked. Their water heater is aging and nobody reminds them. The average household's leaks can waste more than 9,300 gallons of water a year.

The Trust Gap
Homeowners compare reviews before they let a stranger into the house, and they notice whether the newest one is from last month or last year. 74% of consumers look for reviews written in the last three months, and 47% won't use a business with fewer than 20 reviews.
