Clear Answers

Blocked Drains FAQ

How quickly does a blocked drain lead get texted back?

Instantly. The second the call is missed, ReplyTown sends a text so the homeowner knows they've reached the right company and asks for the details. The average window before a caller moves to the next plumber is minutes.

Are blocked drain calls usually urgent?

Very often. Overflowing drains can't wait, so ReplyTown's urgency detection flags these as emergencies and prioritises them in your inbox, plus it can text the caller an ETA so they don't call a rival while waiting.

What happens with the qualified lead?

You get a clean summary with the address, the problem, and urgency, pushed straight into your job software, ready to dispatch an engineer.
