Where AI helps a plumbing company first
A plumber should automate the phone first, because every call you miss while under a sink is a job that goes to the next name on Google. After that come quotes, dispatch notes and follow-up on estimates. AI sorts and drafts, and you stay in charge of diagnosis, safety and price.
