CallRoster / Plumbers

After-hours answering service for plumbers.

What an after-hours call looks like

CallerWater is coming through the ceiling from the upstairs bathroom.

CallRosterThat sounds urgent. Our after-hours rate applies tonight. Would you like a plumber to come out at that rate?

CallerYes, please.

CallRosterThanks. I have your address. I am connecting you to our on-call plumber now.

Why plumbers lose after-hours work

Plumbing emergencies are urgent and price-insensitive: the customer with water on the floor calls the first company that answers. Every after-hours call that hits voicemail is a high-value job that goes to a competitor, and often the customer’s future work goes with it.

But not every night call is an emergency. A dripping tap or a quote request should not wake your plumber at 2am. CallRoster tells the difference, so your crew stays willing to be on call.

How CallRoster handles the call

  1. The AI answers in your company’s name, day or night, and finds out what is wrong, where, and how urgent it is.
  2. It quotes your after-hours rate (if you set one) and asks the caller to accept before anyone is woken up. Callers who decline are logged for the morning.
  3. Emergencies go to whoever is on call right now, from your live roster, swaps included. On Pro, the caller is put straight through: the tech is briefed first, and voicemail never counts as an answer.
  4. No answer? It tries your backup automatically, then logs the call so someone can call back.
  5. Everything is written down: the job details go to your on-call tech by text, and every call is transcribed and logged.

Books straight into your job system

CallRoster creates the job in BigChange, Simpro, Jobber or Trade-Traks, against the right customer and site, so nobody retypes a voicemail in the morning. Not on one of those? Every call can go to email, a Google Sheet or a webhook (for Zapier, Slack and the like) instead.

Pricing

Plans start at $199/month CAD for after-hours answering plus the full on-call roster, with Pro at $399/month adding live patch-through and automatic job creation in your system. No setup fees, no contracts, cancel any time. See plan details.

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, no card needed. You can have it answering a test call the same day you sign up.

Frequently asked questions

Can it tell an emergency from a routine call?

Yes. It judges urgency by impact: active leaks, no water, sewer backups and safety risks go to your on-call plumber; quotes, scheduling and minor issues are logged for the morning.

Will it quote my emergency rate?

If you set an after-hours rate, CallRoster tells emergency callers the rate and asks them to accept before anyone is dispatched. If they decline, the call is logged for the office instead.

What if my on-call plumber does not answer?

It detects voicemail rather than counting it as an answer, tries your backup, and if nobody can take it, logs the call and tells the customer someone will call back.

Does it work with my job management software?

It books into BigChange, Simpro, Jobber and Trade-Traks, or sends the details by email, Google Sheets or webhook.
