Plumbers · Dormant revenue recovery

For plumbing contractors

clients · Quotelapse

We recover the revenue you've already paid for,across service calls, water-heaters, and repipes.

We re-engage the unclosed water-heater quotes, the rough-in / bid-build estimates that died in a GC's inbox, the camera-confirmed sewer-line replacements sitting on a homeowner's financing call, and the after-hours emergency no-shows that never rebooked the follow-on work — qualify every homeowner who still needs the job — and book straight into your dispatcher's calendar. Your techs roll up to a hot appointment, not a wet basement at 1am.

02 · The problem

The money's already spent. The water-heater trucks have already rolled. The only thing missing is someone persistent and qualified running them back down — without spamming your brand at 11pm.


03 · The plumbing walkthrough

Three places the revenue is hiding — and how we re-thread each one.

Water-heater quotes die when gas-line sizing stalls. Rough-in estimates die at the GC's inbox. Sewer-line replacements + after-hours emergency callbacks die on the financing call. Each one needs a different re-engagement — and a different audit trail. We run them all.

Pain · 01

Unclosed water-heater quotes

Before

212 water-heater quotes · 30–90 days stale

After

128 re-engaged · 52 booked

The homeowner asked for a price on a 50-gal Bradford White. The quote went out, the gas-line sizing was wrong, and the reply never came. We re-thread it against today’s anode-rod + venting math and book a single replacement window — not a "still interested?" nudge.

Pain · 02

Rough-in / bid-build estimates

Before

146 estimates · rough-in / bid-build

After

84 re-engaged · 39 booked

The bid went out on a Tuesday and died in the GC’s inbox. We re-thread it as a confirmed scope walk — full rough-in spec, fixture take-off, slab-vs-crawl supply decision — and hand your lead plumber a calendar slot the GC is already walking into.

Pain · 03

Sewer-line replacements + after-hours no-shows

Before

309 jobs · sewer + emergency dispatch

After

162 re-engaged · 71 booked

The camera-confirmed sewer-line replacement sat unbooked while the homeowner waited on a permit refund. The 11pm emergency call cleared but the customer never rebooked the follow-on work. We separate them, qualify each one, and stop spamming the after-hours number when it’s past bed-time.

04 · Plumbers → 15-minute Dormant Revenue Assessment

Three outcome-based tiers, sized on what your dormant plumbing CRM is actually worth — not on the number of calendars, seats, or dashboards we sell you. Bands translate cleanly across plumber ticket ranges: a $5k water-heater install lands on the Recover band, a sewer-line replacement at $12k–$20k lands on Sustain / Scale. Book the 15-minute Dormant Revenue Assessment below — we'll follow up within one business day with the math.

Estimate your runway

What’s already yours to re-book.

Drop in the size of your dormant pool and the average ticket you close today. We’ll show the rough 60-day recovery using the same response and close rates we run for live HVAC books.

Assumes a 30% response rate × 20% close rate on re-engaged leads · 60-day window. Illustrative only — not a CRM-backed forecast.

05 · How it works

Three moves, no new tools for your dispatchers to babysit.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Read-only access to your plumbing CRM.

    ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceM8, a plain spreadsheet — we connect without disrupting your office manager, your dispatchers, or your on-call techs. You're never locked out of your own data.

  2. 02

    Sequence

    Compliant, after-hours-aware re-engagement.

    Email and SMS threads that reference the actual unclosed water-heater quote, the actual rough-in / bid-build estimate, the actual sewer-line replacement, the actual emergency callback — DNC-aware, TCPA-tight cadence, after-hours quiet hours that respect the homeowner’s bed-time window. We pause when there’s an active permit or financing review in motion.

  3. 03

    Book

    Hot appointments dropped on the dispatcher’s calendar.

    When a homeowner is ready, we qualify the basic facts (scope, address, decision-maker) and hand your dispatcher a booked slot — camera-confirmed sewer-line replacements are pre-qual’d before we re-engage, water-heater quotes are re-priced against current supply cost before they hit the calendar. You pay only when real money lands on the calendar.

Three numbers. One promise: you only spend when we land revenue.

Dormant-pipeline monitoring, A/B templates, deliverability maintenance, suppression-list hygiene, and your dedicated operator. Modest — sized to your volume.

Per qualified appt

On book

Net 30 · USD

Invoiced weekly

A flat fee per homeowner who shows up for a scheduled, qualified estimate. Small revenue share available above a threshold. Everything else — we eat.

Numbers below your floor don't get billed. No-shows post-booking are credited to your next invoice automatically — it's our job to land revenue, not sell you a list.

08 · What we don't do

This isn't a cold-lead cannon.

No new logo blast.

We never add a contact to your CRM that wasn't already there. The homeowner said yes to you once — we work that, not a bought list.

No spam cadence.

DNC, prior opt-out, and tonal fatigue are all hard stops. We're paying attention to the reply, not the open rate — and we never call an after-hours number past its window.

No bait pricing.

Setup is refundable until the first book. Retainer is flat. There is no per-lead line item we can quietly inflate.

09 · FAQ

Questions plumbing contractors ask us in the first call.

Most of these are deal-killers if they don't have a clean answer, so we keep the answer in the open.
