JobLock for plumbers: catching emergencies while you are under a sink

A plumber on a job has both hands occupied and a phone in a pocket that cannot be answered. That is the whole problem, and it happens six to nine times a day.

Where the jobs are lost

Emergency plumbing calls come in bursts, usually between 4pm and 8pm and in the first cold week of the year. Every unanswered one goes to the next plumber in the search results within ninety seconds.

What JobLock captures for you

The customer describes the leak, says whether the water is still running, sends a photo of the damage and gives a postcode. You get a card telling you whether it is an isolation valve or a full re-pipe.

How to set it up for this trade

Set your custom questions to: is the water still running, can you reach the stopcock, is it clean or foul water. Those three answers decide what you load in the van.

Stop losing jobs while you're working.

JobLock answers every missed call, qualifies the job and hands you a ready-to-quote card.
