Every lead, claimed.
The call you miss on a job shouldn't go to voicemail. Neither should the 10 PM one.
LeadClaim answers every call you miss: while you're under a sink, up on a roof, or on another call, plus after hours, weekends, and holidays. It gets the name, address, and problem, sends real emergencies to your cell, and texts you the lead within about a minute. You keep your number.
Demo tip: call and pretend you're a homeowner with a leak, a backed-up drain, no heat or AC, or storm damage to the roof. Use any address. It takes about 2 minutes, and it's what your callers would hear.
Your crew answers when they can. LeadClaim picks up when they can't.
No new number, no app to learn. Calls you miss ring through to your assistant in seconds.
Forward
Turn on conditional call forwarding (no answer, busy, unreachable). It takes 2 minutes, and we give you carrier-specific steps.
Answer
A trade-trained assistant answers on the first ring, introduces itself as your company's assistant, and takes the job details. It picks up whenever you can't: on a job, after hours, weekends, or holidays.
Triage
Gas smell, flooding, no heat in a freeze, no AC with a vulnerable occupant: your on-call cell gets alerted right away.
Text + book
You get a lead text about a minute after the call ends. Once your company's texting registration clears (usually within a week of signup), callers who ask can get a confirmation text too. Calendar booking is set up on request. Monthly report included.
What are missed calls costing you?
Move the sliders to match your company. This is a rough estimate, not a promise. Use your own numbers.
Benchmarks: only 52% of calls to home-services businesses are answered by a person, so about 48% are not (65% are answered when you count only calls longer than 15 seconds, which filters out misdials and quick hang-ups) (Invoca, 2026 home-services benchmarks). Sample tickets are US national averages: Plumbing ~$341, the 2026 average Plumbing repair (Angi, 94,386 verified projects). HVAC ~$1,205, the 2025 average HVAC repair revenue per job (Housecall Pro platform data). Roofing ~$1,174, the 2026 average roof repair (Angi, 32,999 verified projects). Plumbing + HVAC ~$773 is the simple average of the Plumbing and HVAC figures. Calculator defaults are rounded to the nearest $50. Your own average ticket is the number that matters.
$0 a year, from about 0 jobs a month.
Full Coverage is $497/mo. It pays for itself if it saves 1 job a month at your average ticket.
Stop losing those callsEvery call ends with a text on your phone
Name, callback number, address, the problem, urgency, and a recording link, about a minute after the caller hangs up. Here's a sample call and the text it produces.
Mint Hill Plumbing (fictional) · after hours · about 2.5 minutes
Assistant: Thanks for calling Mint Hill Plumbing. This is the company's virtual assistant, and this call may be recorded. Is this an emergency, or can I help you set up a service visit?
Caller: My water heater's leaking. There's water all over the garage.
Assistant: Sorry you're dealing with that. Let's stop the water first. Is there a valve on the cold-water pipe at the top of the heater? Turning it clockwise shuts off its supply.
Caller: Okay... yeah, got it. It's off.
Assistant: Good. I'm marking this as an emergency so the on-call plumber gets alerted now. What's your name?
Caller: Dana Reyes.
Assistant: Thanks, Dana. What's the address there?
Caller: 1408 Elm Street, Mint Hill.
Assistant: That's 1408 Elm Street, E-L-M, in Mint Hill. Is the number you're calling from the best one to reach you?
Caller: Yes.
Assistant: Got it. The on-call plumber will call you back shortly. The after-hours dispatch fee is $149, credited toward the repair. Can I text you a confirmation at this number?
Caller: Sure.
Assistant: Done. Anything else the plumber should know, like a gate code or pets?
Caller: Just a dog. She's friendly.
Assistant: Noted. Thanks, Dana. You're all set.
- Emergencies alert your on-call cell right away.

Scripts that know a slab leak from a dripping faucet, and a storm leak from an estimate request
Each assistant is set up with your service area, fees, on-call rules, and the emergencies that matter in your trade. More on how our missed-call answering service for contractors works.
Plumbing →
Burst pipes, water heaters, sewer backups, slab leaks. It walks callers to the shutoff valve and alerts your on-call plumber.
HVAC →
No heat, no cooling, CO alarms, and vulnerable occupants. It triages by outdoor temperature and who's in the home.
Roofing →
Storm damage, active leaks, inspection and estimate requests, insurance-claim calls. It flags water-coming-in calls as urgent and gets the details your crew lead needs to call back first.
Flat monthly price. No setup fee.
Month to month, cancel anytime. We build it, test it, and manage it. You approve the test calls before anything goes live, and you don't pay until you do.
It starts with a 10-minute setup call: we go over your hours, service area and emergency rules, then set LeadClaim up on your missed calls for one week at no cost and no card on file. You get every lead text and recording. At the end of the week, keep it on a paid plan (After-Hours starts at $297/mo) only if you want to. If you do nothing, it simply turns off.

Questions owners ask
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number and turn on conditional call forwarding, which takes about two minutes. LeadClaim only picks up when you don't answer or are busy, or after the hours you choose. Carrier-by-carrier steps.
Will callers know it's AI?
Yes. It introduces itself as your company's virtual assistant and says the call may be recorded. You get every recording, and we tune the script the same day if anything sounds off.
Does it quote prices or diagnose problems?
Only what you tell it to. By default it takes the details, gives your published service-call or dispatch fee if you want it to, and never promises an arrival time you haven't approved.
What counts as an emergency?
You decide. Common rules: gas smell, active flooding, sewage backup, no heat below freezing, no AC with vulnerable people in the home, and water coming into the house after a storm. Emergencies go to your on-call cell right away. Everything else waits in a lead text.
Can it book jobs?
By default it collects the caller's preferred time and you confirm the visit. On Pro, booking straight into a Google or Outlook calendar is set up on request; we test it with you before it goes live. Jobber and Housecall Pro booking is coming soon.
What if I already have an answering service?
Run LeadClaim on overflow only for 30 days and compare. Many human services charge per call or per minute. LeadClaim is a flat monthly price.
How fast can I be live?
Usually within 48 hours of your setup call. You hear test calls first, and nothing goes live until you approve.
Is there a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel anytime, plus the 30-day one-job guarantee.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Book a 10-minute setup call and we'll run LeadClaim on your missed calls free for 7 days, no card needed. If you want to keep it, pick a plan (After-Hours starts at $297/mo) and the 30-day one-job guarantee starts with your first paid month. If not, it turns off and you owe nothing.
