31% of Plumbing Emergencies Happen After Hours. Here's What That Costs Every Week.
Average job: $650
From calls that came in while your voicemail was the only thing answering.
A homeowner with a burst pipe at 9pm doesn't want to be told about business hours.
They want a plumber.
Madifyx gives them one.
The Burst Pipe at 9pm: The Job That Defines Who Your Best Clients Choose to Call Next
The customer who called at 9pm and got a plumber by 10:30pm doesn't forget that.
They tell their neighbors. They call you back for every job. They leave you a 5-star review that describes you as 'lifesavers.'
The one who got your voicemail tells their neighbors that too.
Emergency leads convert at 40–50% when answered immediately. That $840 job is the beginning of an $11,200 client relationship.
The 9pm voicemail loses all of it.

What Madifyx Does Across the Full
Plumbing Business Lifecycle
Every emergency answered. Every quote followed up.
Every job turned into a review. Every customer turned into a referral source.
① 24/7 Emergency Answering
Every call answered within 60 seconds — day, night, weekend, public holiday. No voicemail. No "call back during business hours." Burst pipes don't have business hours.
② Immediate Job Commitment
Madifyx qualifies the emergency (type, severity, address) and commits to a time window — giving the homeowner the "yes" that keeps them from calling the next number.
③ Missed Call Text-Back
Every missed call receives an automated SMS in 30 seconds: "We saw your call — what's the issue? We'll get someone to you." Recovers 20–30% of calls that would have moved on.
④ Urgency Triage
Madifyx distinguishes between active emergencies (burst pipe, flooding) and urgent-but-not-active situations (slow drain, dripping tap) — routing accordingly so true emergencies always get priority.
⑤ Business Hours Lead Handling
Even during business hours when you're on a job, Madifyx answers every general enquiry — service questions, pricing, availability, bookings — without the customer reaching voicemail.
⑥ Online Booking
Non-emergency enquiries converted to booked jobs directly into your schedule — without phone tag, without callback delays.
⑦ Quote Appointment Scheduling
Larger jobs requiring a site visit get a quote appointment booked immediately — while the customer is still in conversation.
⑧ 4-Touch Quote Follow-Up Sequence
Day 2, Day 5, Day 10, Day 18 — each message a different angle: questions, scope clarification, timing urgency, final offer. Closes 55%+ of open quotes vs 30–40% without follow-up.
⑨ Financing Information Message
At Day 5, larger quote recipients receive information about financing options — addressing the most common reason quotes go quiet.
⑩ Scope Change Offer
At Day 10: "Happy to adjust the scope if the original quote wasn't quite right — what would work better for you?"
⑪ Quote Expiry Alert
Day 18: "Just to let you know, our current pricing is valid until [date] — after that, material costs may affect the quote."
⑫ Review Request — 24 Hours Post-Job
Sent the morning after every completed job — when the relief of a resolved problem is most vivid and the customer is most likely to describe it enthusiastically.
⑬ Emergency Customer Follow-Up
3 days after every emergency job: "Just checking everything is still working well. Let us know if anything needs attention." Builds the relationship that generates the referral.
⑭ Referral Ask — Week 2
"If anyone you know mentions plumbing issues, we'd love to help — especially for emergencies where a fast response matters."
The Estimate That Sat in an Inbox for 10 Days and Went to a Competitor
