~1 in 4 business calls goes unanswered
Plumbers miss about 1 in 4 calls. After 5pm, it's worse.
Every one of those calls is a burst pipe, a backed-up drain, or a water heater that picked tonight to quit — dialing the next plumber on the list. Dialkeep answers, books the job, and texts you what happened.
Call it right now. That's it answering.

Dialkeep vs. A per-minute answering service (or your own cell phone after hours)
| Feature | Dialkeep | A per-minute answering service (or your own cell phone after hours) |
|---|---|---|
| Answers after 5pm and weekends | Always | Rarely — most go to voicemail |
| Pricing | $199/mo flat, unlimited calls | $140–380/mo plus per-minute or per-call overage |
| Understands "burst pipe" is urgent | Yes — triages and books emergencies same-call | Depends on whoever's on shift |
| Books directly into your schedule | Yes | Usually just takes a message |
| Costs more when call volume spikes | Never | Yes — per-minute meters punish your busiest week |
| Sick days, turnover, training | None — it's software | Yes — human staff take time off |
Why plumbers trust it on the phone
Every call is answered the same way, whether it's your first customer of the day or your fiftieth — no bad moods, no rushed mornings.
It never tells a caller anything about pricing or scheduling that isn't in your own numbers — no improvising, no promises you didn't make.
Anything it can't handle gets a callback promise and lands in your texts within seconds, not a game of phone tag.
You keep your number. Dialkeep answers it; nothing changes for the customer except that someone always picks up.
Questions plumbers ask
Will my customers know they're talking to an AI?+
If they ask, it says so — plainly, the way a good employee would. It doesn't lead with a disclaimer because nobody wants to hear a robot voice recite legal copy before they can report a leak. It just answers the question, books the job, and if something's outside what it can handle, it gets a real person on the phone with you fast.
What happens with an actual emergency — a burst pipe at 2am?+
It asks the same things your best dispatcher would: what's happening, where, and whether it can wait until morning or needs someone now. Then it books the callback or the emergency slot on your calendar and texts you the details immediately. You're never finding out about a flood secondhand.
Does the price change if I get slammed during a cold snap?+
No. $199 a month is $199 a month whether it answers 40 calls or 400. That's the whole pitch against a per-minute service — the month you need it most is the month metered pricing costs you the most.
What if it gets something wrong?+
We won't tell you it never fumbles a call — it fumbles about as often as your best front-desk person on their worst day. The difference is it never takes a sick day, and when it's not sure, it says so and gets a human involved instead of guessing.
Do I need to change my phone number?+
No. You forward your existing number to Dialkeep, or route it after-hours only if you want a person answering during the day. Setup takes about 10 minutes and nothing changes for the people calling you.
Is there a contract?+
No contract. $199 a month, cancel anytime. If it's not booking you jobs, it's not worth paying for, and we'd rather you leave than pay for something that isn't working.
$199/mo. Unlimited. No contract.
Flat and unlimited. No per-call fee, no per-minute meter — a busy July costs the same as a slow one.
