The calls you're missing are the expensive ones
Water through the ceiling doesn't wait for 8 AM. Della answers, calms the caller down, takes the address, and wakes up your on-call plumber with a text and a phone call that reads the emergency out loud.
You're under a house with both hands on a pipe wrench. Della books the estimate, takes the message, and texts you a summary — with a link to hear the actual call.
"How much to replace a water heater?" — she answers with exactly what you told her to say (a range, a trip fee, or "we quote on site"), and books the visit either way.
Half of Tampa Bay dials in Spanish. Della can answer your line in Spanish, run the whole call in it, or switch mid-sentence — on every plan, including the $35 one.
Your number, honestly
Say you miss 4 calls a week and win half of them back, at an average job around $400:
That's the yearly revenue sitting in unanswered rings — and one saved water-heater replacement covers months of Della. Run your own numbers in the cost calculator.
Built for how your phone actually rings
Floods and burst pipes blast your on-call list by text, then ring the first plumber with the message read aloud.
Estimates and service calls land on your calendar with reminders — no more "I called but nobody got back to me."
The moment the call ends you get a text with the name, address, and the job — so no estimate slips away while you're under a house.
Front Desk and up: she can take the order and send your payment link with the exact total.
Della Desk.
What it costs
Plans from $35/month (answering, messages, bookings) to the full front office. Most plumbing companies land on Front Desk at $89 or Office at $149 — every plan includes 100 minutes, and extra minutes are always a flat 30¢, dialed in advance. Every price is public on the pricing page. No setup fees, 7-day free trial, and no surprise bills, ever: if you use up your minutes, nothing extra is billed — you pre-choose whether the line pauses or steps up, and a one-time $50 top-up adds 100 minutes.
Put Della on your line →Questions owners ask
Can she rank emergencies the way we do?
Yes — plain-English house rules ("active leak = urgent, dripping faucet = book it"). Urgent triggers dispatch; the rest books or takes a message.
What if the caller is panicking?
She stays calm at 2 AM every time, gets the address and the shutoff question out, and never hangs up on someone mid-sentence — that behavior is tested on every release.
Will she quote prices?
Only what you approve. Give her a price list, ranges, or a firm "we quote on site" — she never invents a number.
