Missed-call recovery for plumbers & heating engineers

Alert sent after missed call

24hrs

Average setup time

You’re on the tools. The phone keeps ringing.

You can’t answer every call. You might be under a sink fixing a leak, working on a boiler, driving between jobs, in a basement, dealing with an emergency, or already speaking to another customer.

But the person calling doesn’t know that. They just know nobody answered, and if they need help urgently, they may call the next plumber they find.

FixLeakage gives that missed caller an immediate response instead of silence.

How it works

You miss the call. We keep the customer.

You don’t have to stop working every time the phone rings. FixLeakage keeps the conversation alive until you’re ready to call back.

Missed call detected

You can't answer

Features

Built for businesses where every call counts

Every feature is designed around one outcome: recovering the job before a competitor does.

Missed-call detection

The moment a call goes unanswered, your team is alerted and the customer is contacted before they try another number.

Instant customer reply

The customer receives an SMS within 30 seconds telling them you're aware of their call and will be in touch. That buys you critical time.

Engineer alerts

Every alert goes directly to your engineer's phone, with the caller's number, time, and details, wherever they are on site.

Recovery reporting

See which calls came back, which were lost, and how many jobs were recovered. Understand your missed-call cost clearly.

Response-time tracking

Know how quickly your team responds to each missed call. Spot patterns early before slow response starts costing you jobs.

Automatic callbacks

Your recovery process runs without anyone lifting a finger, even at 2am during an emergency callout. No missed step, no manual chasing.

Built for plumbers & heating engineers

Every kind of emergency plumbing & heating call

FixLeakage is built around the calls that make or lose you money, the ones that come in while you're already on a job.

Burst Pipes

Water everywhere and the clock is running. The first plumber to answer gets the job and stops the damage getting worse.

Leak Detection

A slow leak behind a wall or under a floor. Customers searching for a leak want somebody who'll actually turn up.

Tap Repairs

Not always urgent, but a customer calling about a dripping tap books whoever replies first, not whoever they called first.

Boiler Breakdowns

No heating or hot water is urgent to the customer even on a routine day, and genuinely urgent for elderly or vulnerable ones in winter.

Emergency Callouts

No water, a flooded bathroom, a smell of gas. Anything that can't wait goes to the next number in seconds if yours doesn't answer.

Real infrastructure

Built on Twilio, OpenAI, and Stripe, not an unnamed "AI system."

Encrypted & GDPR-aware

Data encrypted in transit, passwords hashed, never stored in plain text.

No fixed contract

Cancel from your billing settings any time, no lock-in.
