Built around how plumbers actually work
You're hands-busy, not phone-busy
On the job, gloves on, water everywhere — Chappie picks up while you finish. Lead lands in your phone the second you wash up.
Emergencies don't wait
Burst pipes happen at 11 p.m. Chappie answers, captures, and routes the urgent ones to your phone immediately.
Captures the job specifics
Water heater make/model, type of clog, fixture type, photo of the leak — the qualifying questions are tuned for plumbing, not generic intake.
Beats every competitor on speed
Most plumbers respond in 30+ minutes. Chappie responds fast — and ~78% of customers hire whoever responds first.
Frequently asked questions
What is an answering service for plumbers?+
An answering service for plumbers handles inbound calls when you can't — under a sink, on a roof, after hours, or in the middle of the night — so emergency jobs don't go to a competitor. Chappie.bot does it via SMS fast, 24/7.
How much does a plumbing answering service cost?+
Live human services charge $300–$1,500 per month plus per-minute fees. Chappie.bot is $2.99 per captured lead — no monthly fee, no minutes, no contract. One emergency water-heater job pays for hundreds of captured leads.
Will Chappie handle plumbing emergencies properly?+
Yes. The first SMS is friendly and asks: type of issue (burst pipe, no hot water, drain clog, etc.), address, and how soon they need someone. You get the full thread on your phone within 90 seconds and can call back if it's urgent.
Does it work with Google LSA for plumbers?+
Yes. Set your Chappie number as the forwarding number on your Google Local Services Ads, Angi, Yelp, and Thumbtack listings so every paid lead gets the SMS treatment if you can't pick up.
Can it ask for the property type or service address?+
Yes. The qualifying questions are customizable — service address, residential vs commercial, brand of fixture, urgency, photo of the issue. Replies stream into the dashboard.
How fast can my plumbing business get set up?+
About 5 minutes. Get a Chappie number, point your existing line at it, and you're capturing missed calls today.
