Ottawa plumbing
Missed-call text-back for Ottawa plumbing shops
When you can’t pick up, CallCatch texts the caller your shop name and booking link, so a burst-pipe or no-hot-water call doesn’t quietly turn into another plumber’s job.
Why plumbing calls get missed on the tools
In a 1–10 tech plumbing shop, the person who answers the phone is often the one under a sink, in a basement or driving between jobs across Ottawa. Hands are wet, the phone is in the truck, and the line rings out. Nobody is ignoring customers — there just isn’t a free hand when the call comes in.
Burst pipe, no hot water and sump callers dial the next shop
A homeowner with a burst pipe, a water heater that has quit, or a sump pump that has stopped while water is coming in wants someone now. If nobody answers, the natural next step is to call the next plumber in the search results. A quick text back gives them a way to reach you before they do.
How it works
- A call to your business number goes unanswered.
- The caller gets a short text, usually within about 30 seconds, with your shop name, your existing Cal.com or Calendly booking link, and “Reply STOP to opt out.”
- They book a time on the calendar you already use — or call you back.
No new booking system, no app for your techs. Just a missed call followed by a plain text.
CASL basics
- Texts only go to people who just called your business number — a reply to their own call, not a marketing blast.
- Every message identifies your shop.
- STOP replies are honoured.
