Your techs are under a sink
The phone rings while everyone is mid-job, elbow deep in someone's crawl space. Nobody can break to answer, so a real customer hears a recording.
Emergency Call Recovery · For plumbing companies
Mahoric AI answers the calls your crew can't get to, day or night. It collects the job, the address, and the urgency, then puts the lead on your phone while the homeowner is still on the line, not on Google.
No rip-and-replace. Leads land in your texts, your inbox, and a live lead log, right beside whatever you already run jobs in.
The problem
Emergency work is won by whoever picks up. There are three moments where good shops quietly leak booked jobs, and they all end the same way.
The phone rings while everyone is mid-job, elbow deep in someone's crawl space. Nobody can break to answer, so a real customer hears a recording.
Sewer backups and active leaks land at 2 a.m. and on long weekends. The homeowner is panicking, water is spreading, and they will not wait for morning.
Your dispatcher is already on a call when the next one comes in. Two emergencies, one set of hands. One of those callers starts dialing your competitors.
How it works
The system sits behind your existing number and only steps in when nobody picks up. Here's the whole loop.
On the tools, after hours, or your line is tied up. The caller hears your usual ring, then the system catches it instead of voicemail.
An instant text lands on their phone, or the line is picked up live. Either way, someone is talking to them, so they stop dialing other plumbers.
Name, phone, address, what broke, and how bad. "Is water actively leaking right now?" gets the job flagged urgent. It never plays plumber, it takes details.
Text and email with everything, logged to a live lead sheet, and the caller gets a confirmation with your callback or booking link. You decide who rolls.
What you actually receive
No app to learn, no portal to check at 3 a.m. The lead arrives as a plain text and an email with every detail your dispatcher would have asked for.
The math
You know your call volume and your ticket sizes better than any industry report. Plug in your own numbers and see what missed calls are costing you.
Count after-hours, on-the-tools, and busy-line calls. Your phone bill knows the real number.
Burst pipe, sewer backup, water heater swap. Whatever a typical urgent job invoices at.
Be conservative. Not every recovered caller books, but the first shop to respond usually gets the job.
Estimates only, based entirely on the numbers you set above. During the pilot the lead log tracks every recovered call, so after 60 days you're judging real results, not a slider.
Hear it yourself
The fastest way to judge this is to be the caller. Phone the demo line, describe a fake emergency, and watch the lead alert arrive.

Call the demo lineWhat you get
It won't dispatch your techs, quote jobs, or replace your office. It doesn't pretend to be a plumber, and it doesn't give repair advice.
It does one thing: makes sure a real lead never dies in your voicemail again, then gets out of the way so your team can do what it does.

Pricing
This is a new service and you'd be one of the first plumbing companies running it. Pilot pricing reflects that honestly: you take a small chance on us, we make it cheap to find out.
Compare it to your alternatives: a part-time office hire runs thousands a month, and a traditional answering service takes messages without triage and bills by the minute.
After the pilot we agree on the ongoing rate before you commit to anything. No surprise jumps, no contract traps.
The trade: if the system pays for itself in 60 days, you let us write up the results with your numbers. That case study is worth more to us than full price right now.
Who's behind it
I'm JM. I build AI systems for a living, and I run Mahoric AI from Quispamsis, New Brunswick.
I started with plumbing because the math is brutal: emergency work pays well, it can't wait, and a missed call goes straight to the next name on Google. Most shops doing great work are leaking jobs through the phone, not the workmanship.
The pilot is deliberately small. I set up your call flow myself, you get my cell, and I tune the system until your team trusts what shows up on their phones. If it doesn't earn its keep in 60 days, we shake hands and you walk.
Straight answers
No. Your number stays exactly as it is. We set forwarding rules with your phone provider so the system only catches calls you miss, or only after hours, whichever you choose. Turn it off anytime.
They'll be talking to an automated intake line, and if they ask, it says so honestly. Here's the thing about 2 a.m. with water on the floor: callers don't need charm, they need someone to answer, take the details, and confirm help is coming. That beats voicemail every single time. Call the demo line and judge for yourself.
The triage questions are built for exactly that. "Is water actively leaking right now?" gets the job flagged urgent and your on-call tech alerted immediately. The system never gives repair advice, it collects, flags, and escalates to your people.
It takes their details, tells them a team member will call right back, and fires the alert to your phone marked accordingly. You're calling back a captured lead instead of staring at a hang-up in your call history.
It runs alongside all of them. Leads arrive by text, email, and the live lead log, so your dispatcher drops them into whatever you already use in seconds. Direct integrations are on the roadmap once pilot shops tell us which one matters most.
Most shops are live within a week of kickoff. You give us your services, your area, and how you talk to customers. We build the call flow, you test it on the demo line, we flip forwarding on. Your crew changes nothing about how they work.
Yes, and we build it that way on purpose. Callers are informed where disclosure is required, texts identify your business and respect opt-outs in line with CASL, and customer details are treated as your data, kept to the alerts and the lead log. We'll walk through the specifics on the call.
We agree on the ongoing rate together before your 60 days are up, with your lead log on the table so the value is plain. Nothing renews automatically at a higher price, and if the numbers don't work, you cancel and keep your data.
Fit check
If calls drive your jobs, the audit should be grounded in your trade, your city, your booking setup, and the lead leak you actually feel. This intake gives me enough context to tell you whether Mahoric AI is worth a real conversation.
Use this if your shop depends on calls, forms, quote requests, or after-hours leads. I will review it and either point you to a short call or tell you plainly if it is not a fit.
