For drainlayers & drainage crews
Every blocked-drain call answered. Even from down a manhole.
Drainage emergencies are messy, urgent and usually after five. An AI receptionist answers in seconds, works out how bad it is, grabs the address, and texts you the job — flagged urgent when wastewater's on the move.

Sewage doesn't keep business hours
An overflowing gully trap at 9pm is a household emergency. The caller rings every drainlayer on Google until someone answers — TradieCall picks up in seconds and flags genuine emergencies 🚨 to your phone.
CCTV inspections have deadlines
Pre-purchase drain inspections come with a due-diligence clock ticking. The AI captures what the buyer needs and by when, and on Pro can pencil the inspection straight into your diary.
Council questions eat your day
New connections, consents, as-built plans — callers with drainage paperwork questions want a person, not voicemail. The AI takes the property details and the question so you ring back once, with the answer.
How it handles an overflowing gully trap
A real example: gully trap overflowing, evening call. The AI calms the caller down, captures the details, and doesn't invent prices or promise arrival times.
Within a minute of hangup: name, number, address, the job and urgency — texted and emailed to you. See how it works →
After-hours drainage is where the margin is
A blocked sewer main doesn't care that it's 9pm on a Sunday. When wastewater is coming up through the gully trap, the household rings drainlayers off Google until a voice answers — and voicemail never gets a second listen. TradieCall answers every call, day or night, in your business name with a natural Kiwi voice, and it treats an overflowing sewer very differently to someone planning new stormwater runs for a reno.
Urgent calls hit your phone as a text within a minute of hangup: name, number, address, what's blocked and how bad. On Pro, genuine emergencies can be transferred to you live. Everything else waits politely in the queue — the same setup we run for after-hours call answering across the trades. Either way the job's yours, not the next drainlayer's.
Camera inspections, consents and the plumber down the road
Not every call is a blockage. Pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys before a sale goes unconditional, questions about connecting to the public main, requests for as-built plans — these callers have a specific question and a deadline. The AI captures exactly what they're after, and on Pro it checks your real diary and pencils the inspection into a free slot, synced with Google Calendar and tentative until you confirm.
A good chunk of drainlaying work also arrives sideways, from plumbers who've hit something the jet unit won't shift. Those referral calls get answered and written up like any other job, and the same setup works on the plumbing side if you run both tickets. Plans start at $129 a month on Starter, with a 7-day free trial and no lock-in.
