After-hours AI phone agent · Restoration & plumbing

A pipe bursts at 2 AM. Who answers your phone?

An AI phone agent that picks up every after-hours call, asks the questions your dispatcher would ask, books the job and reaches your on-call tech — before the caller hangs up. Live in 48 hours on your existing number, once we have your details.

The problem

Emergency work goes to whoever picks up first

01

Water damage and burst pipes don't wait for business hours. When the call hits voicemail, most homeowners dial the next company on the list.

02

One missed emergency job can be worth thousands of dollars — and you never find out it was lost.

03

Answering services read a script and take a message. Your tech still has to call back, and the homeowner may already have booked someone else.

04

Your on-call tech gets woken up for calls that aren't real emergencies — or doesn't hear about the ones that are.

How it works

Three changes, none of them on your phone

📞

1. Forward after hours

Your existing number forwards to the agent after hours (or when nobody picks up). Customers dial the same number they always have.

🧠

2. It qualifies the call

It asks what your dispatcher would ask: what happened, is water still running, the address. Real emergencies are flagged immediately, by your rules.

📞

3. It books and alerts

It books the visit and calls your on-call tech with the address and the details — a ringing phone wakes someone at 2 AM better than a text does. You get a written summary and transcript of every call; whether there is an audio recording depends on the caller agreeing to one.

What you get

Built around how your company handles calls

🗣️

Natural conversation

A calm, natural voice trained on your services, service area and pricing rules. It identifies itself as your automated after-hours assistant, says the call is recorded, and asks the caller's permission before continuing.

🚨

Emergency triage

You decide what counts as an emergency. Those reach your on-call tech right away; everything else is booked for the morning. If nobody picks up, it calls again and then works down your list — you set the order and the wait.

📅

Books the visit

Books into your calendar or scheduling tool and confirms the time with the customer before the call ends.

📋

Every call summarized

Name, number, address, what happened and what was promised — in your inbox before you've had coffee.

Agent
Thanks for calling Sullivan Restoration — this is our automated after-hours assistant, I'm an AI, not a person. This call is recorded so we get your details right. Is that okay?
Caller
A pipe burst under my kitchen sink, there's water everywhere, I need someone now.
Agent
I've got you — getting someone out is my next move. Quick yes or no first: okay that this is recorded?
Caller
Yeah, fine, just hurry.
Agent
Okay — is the water still running right now?
Caller
I think so, I can't find the shutoff.
Agent
If you can safely reach your shutoff valve, go ahead and turn the water off. I'm getting a tech lined up now — what's the address?
Caller
412 Bayshore Drive, Tampa.
Agent
Got it. And the best number to reach you on?
Caller
This one.
Agent
Perfect. I'm sending this to our on-call tech right now, with your address and your number. Expect a call back from them directly.
02:15 — on-call tech's phone rings: “Emergency from Sullivan Restoration. Burst pipe, water still active. 412 Bayshore Drive, Tampa. Caller J. Smith, 813-555-0143. Press 1 to accept.” If nobody presses 1, it calls again and then works down the list.

Most answering services bill per call or per minute, so the monthly bill moves with your call volume. Pull your last three invoices — that is the number to compare against.

Straight talk

Who this is for — and who it isn't

A good fit if

  • You do emergency or same-day work
  • Calls come in after hours and on weekends
  • You have someone on call who can respond
  • Losing one job hurts more than the monthly fee

Not a fit if

  • Every job is scheduled weeks ahead — voicemail is fine for you
  • Nobody is on call, so there's nothing to route an emergency to
  • You want the agent to quote prices on the phone — it qualifies and books, it doesn't sell
  • You need Spanish-language call handling — English only for now
Pricing

One flat setup fee. One monthly price.

48-hour setup guarantee: your agent is answering calls within two business days of the moment you have sent four things — your service list, your service area, your emergency rules, and your on-call number. If we miss that, the setup fee is waived. The clock pauses only while we wait on you to approve the script, or on your carrier to switch forwarding on.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before signing up

Will callers know it's AI?

Yes, on every call. It says it is an automated assistant rather than a person, tells the caller the line is recorded, and asks whether that is okay before going any further. If the caller says no, it stops the recording and just takes their details — you still get the written summary, without the audio.

Some states, Florida among them, require every party on a call to consent to recording, and the rule that applies usually follows the caller's state rather than yours. Asking outright is the safest version everywhere, so that is the default. We configure the wording; signing off on what your business needs is on you, and I'm happy to point you at the rule. For a homeowner with water on the floor, what matters is that someone picks up and a tech is on the way.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. We set up forwarding from your current number — after hours only, or whenever no one answers. You can switch it off any time.

What if the caller wants a real person?

The agent takes their details and calls your on-call tech straight away, flagged as urgent. You decide the rules.

How long does setup take?

Two business days from the moment we have four things: your service list, service area, emergency rules and on-call number. You approve the script before it takes a single call — the clock pauses while we wait on that.

Can it text my tech instead of calling?

Yes — but not on day one. US carriers require any business sending automated texts from a normal 10-digit number to be registered under a programme called A2P 10DLC, in your company's legal name and EIN exactly as the IRS has it. We file the paperwork for you. Approval usually lands in a few days, but it can stretch to two or three weeks if the carriers bounce it once, and that timing is not ours to control — unregistered texts are blocked outright: they never arrive, and the person waiting on one has no idea it was sent. On an emergency line that is the last thing you want.

So dispatch starts as a phone call to your on-call tech. That is live in 48 hours, needs no registration, and wakes people better than a text anyway. If you also want texts, we file on day one and switch them on the moment they clear. Carrier fees are about $20 to register and $2 to $10 a month depending on how the carriers classify your traffic, passed through at cost.

What happens if the agent goes down or can't handle a call?

Calls fall back to your voicemail or ring your cell — exactly the way they do today. You have lost nothing. And if the agent stops answering, an alert reaches me automatically; you should not be the one who notices first.

You're in Europe. What about support hours?

Podgorica is six hours ahead of New York. In practice that helps: your 2 AM calls land in my morning. I'm reachable by email or text during US business hours, and overnight the system is watched by alerts rather than by me staring at a screen.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. Month-to-month with 30 days' notice.

Who's behind this?

AAA — AI Automation Agency, based in Podgorica, Montenegro. I'm Đorđe Vuković — I build, configure and support every agent myself. I'm taking on my first three US companies right now, which is why the founding pricing exists. You'd be talking to me, not a support queue.
