The short answer
A plumbing company needs a website that turns an urgent search into a phone call or a booked job, and a system behind it that catches the calls you miss while your hands are inside a wall. Redenn builds that on Next.js, from a five-page Business site to a Growth System with CRM and chat, and can add an AI Receptionist so a missed emergency call still becomes a lead.
Common problems for plumbing companies
- Emergency calls come in while the plumber is on a job, and by the callback the customer has booked someone else.
- Estimate requests wait days for an answer, and the job goes cold.
- The company covers many towns, but search shows it only in the town where the shop is.
- Good work earns few reviews, so one bad review sits at the top of the profile.
- The website says nothing about drain cleaning, water heaters or backflow testing, so those searches go elsewhere.
- Dispatch runs on a whiteboard and a group chat, and jobs get double-booked.
What we build
Each piece maps to a real Redenn service, with a published price or a written quote.
Missed-call recovery
An AI Receptionist answers the calls you cannot take, asks whether it is an emergency, captures the address and the problem, and texts you a summary so you can call back or dispatch. It does not replace you; it stops the call from disappearing.
AI ReceptionistService-area pages that reflect where you actually work
One page per town or region you serve, with the services offered there, honest response-window wording and a link to your Google Business Profile. Built as real pages, not a list of city names stuffed into a footer.
Local SearchA complete, accurate Google Business Profile
Categories, service list, service area, hours including emergency hours, photos of real trucks and jobs, and a consistent name, address and phone across the web.
Google Business Profile OptimizationEstimate follow-up in minutes, not days
When someone submits an estimate request, an automatic reply confirms it, asks for photos, and reminds you until you respond. Quotes that go quiet get a polite nudge.
Lead Follow-Up AutomationReviews requested after every completed job
A message goes out when the job is marked done, with a direct link to your review profile. Consistent asking is what builds a review count; nothing is faked or filtered.
Review AutomationA simple job pipeline
A CRM configured for inquiry, estimate, scheduled, done and invoiced, with every form, chat and phone lead landing in it with its source. You see what is open at a glance.
CRM SetupA fast site that works on a cracked phone screen
Plumbing searches happen on mobile, often in a stressful moment. Large tap targets, a phone number in the header, and pages built to load fast on a weak signal. We measure load time on a real phone before launch.

How customers find a plumber in Canada
Two kinds of people look for a plumber. The first has water on the floor and searches for an emergency plumber near them, then calls the first business that looks real and answers. The second is planning: a water heater replacement, a bathroom rough-in, a sump pump before spring. They compare a few companies, read reviews and send estimate requests.
Both start on Google, and increasingly on AI assistants that summarize local businesses. Google states that its AI features in Search use the same core index and ranking systems as regular results, with no special requirements beyond standard SEO practice, so the work is the same: a clear, fast site, an accurate Google Business Profile and consistent business information.
The emergency searcher is won by the phone number, the hours and the first impression. The planner is won by service pages that explain the job, honest cost ranges where you can give them, and proof of work.
What a plumbing website must do
The site is a dispatcher that never sleeps. Every page should make it obvious what you do, where, and how to reach you now.
| Page or feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Tap-to-call header with hours | The emergency searcher needs one tap, not a contact page. |
| Emergency plumbing page | States response windows honestly and what counts as an emergency. |
| One page per core service | Drains, water heaters, leaks, fixtures, sump pumps, backflow: each a distinct search. |
| Service-area pages | Coverage for each town or region you actually serve. |
| Estimate request form with photo upload | Lets planners send the problem; feeds the CRM and the follow-up sequence. |
| Reviews and job photos | Proof that you show up and finish. |
| Licence and insurance statement | Answers the trust question before the call. |
Automation and CRM for plumbers
For many plumbing companies, the costliest gap is response time. A form reply sent within a minute and a missed call answered by an AI Receptionist change the odds of getting the job without adding an office employee.
A worked example at published Redenn prices: a Business Plus site at CA$799 (eight pages, booking, blog), Lead Follow-Up Automation from CA$149, CRM Setup from CA$299 and AI Receptionist from CA$149/month. Hosting is optional: Redenn Business is CA$199/year if we host the site, or we hand it over for you to host. Usage (AI, call minutes, SMS, email) is billed by each provider directly to your own account; none is included in our prices. Ask about a trial period to see your real usage first. A written, fixed-price proposal gives the exact total.
- Instant confirmation on estimate requests, with a photo prompt.
- Reminder to you if a lead is untouched after a set time.
- Review request after every job marked complete.
- Pipeline stages that match how you actually run jobs.
Compliance and trust
Plumbing is a regulated trade, and licensing and permit rules are set provincially. Your site should state where you are licensed and insured in plain words and avoid claims you cannot show. Quebec's Charter of the French Language, as amended by Bill 96, requires businesses operating in Quebec to make their commercial websites and publications available in French; other languages can sit alongside. The OQLF publishes the details.
Contact forms collect personal information. Under PIPEDA, or the substantially similar provincial laws in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta, say what you collect and why. Promotional texts and emails to past customers need consent and an unsubscribe option under CASL; a purchase in the last two years gives implied consent. A seasonal promotion is a commercial message. Any message you send after a job, including a review request, should identify your business and offer an unsubscribe. This is general information, not legal advice.
When this is not the right fit
If you are a single-truck operation with all the work you can handle from word of mouth, a Launch page at CA$99 with your number and licence is enough. The full architecture above is for companies that want to grow past the owner's phone.
Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude taxes. Any tax that applies is shown separately on your invoice.
The customer journeySample
One burst pipe, from search to review
A plumbing emergency is decided in minutes; a planned job is decided over a week of quotes. This sample follows an emergency from the search to the review and shows what Redenn builds so the call does not disappear while your hands are inside a wall.
Sample: A homeowner with water coming through the basement ceiling.
Search
They search for an emergency plumber near them and call the first business that looks real and answers.
What we build
A Google Business Profile with emergency hours and a real service area, and one page for each town you actually serve, not a list of names in the footer.
Your website
They see a tap-to-call number, your hours and a plain statement of what counts as an emergency.
What we build
A fast site built for a cracked phone screen: large tap targets, the number in the header and an emergency page with honest response wording.
Instant reply or booking
You are on another job. The AI receptionist answers, says it is an AI, asks whether water is still running, takes the address and sends you a summary.
What we build
The AI Receptionist on the calls you cannot take, flagging active leaks for an immediate call-back by the rules you set.
CRM follow-up
The job lands in your pipeline with its source. Later the same homeowner asks for a water heater estimate; an instant reply asks for photos and reminds you until you answer.
What we build
A job pipeline from inquiry to invoiced, and estimate follow-up that nudges quiet quotes.
Review request
When the job is marked done, a message goes out with a direct link to your Google review form.
What we build
A review request after every completed job, to every customer, with no incentive and nothing filtered. It names your business and offers an unsubscribe.

Provincial notes
General information, not legal advice. Rules change, so check the current version with your regulator or on the government's own site before you rely on it.
- Across Canada
- Seasonal promotions by text or email are commercial electronic messages under CASL. We send promotional texts only to customers who gave express consent, with your business named and an unsubscribe option. Quote replies and emergency call-backs are responses to an inquiry, not marketing.
- Every province
- Plumbing licensing and permit rules are set provincially. State where you are licensed and insured in plain words, and avoid claims you cannot show.
- Ontario
- Under the AODA, organizations with 50 or more employees in Ontario must make their public websites conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA, apart from live captions and pre-recorded audio description. We build every client site to WCAG 2.1 AA as the target, whatever its size.
- Quebec
- The Charter of the French Language, as amended by Bill 96, requires businesses operating in Quebec to make their commercial websites available in French; other languages can sit alongside. Law 25 adds privacy duties, such as naming a person in charge of protecting personal information.
Questions
How much does a plumbing website cost with Redenn?
A Launch page is CA$99, Starter is CA$299, Business is CA$499 and Business Plus is CA$799. A Growth System with CRM and chat starts at CA$1,299. If you want Redenn to host the site, hosting starts at CA$99/year. Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude taxes. Any tax that applies is shown separately on your invoice.
Can the AI Receptionist tell an emergency from a routine call?
It asks the caller and applies the rules you set, for example flagging active leaks for immediate call-back and booking routine work into a slot. It says it is an AI assistant at the start of each call and whenever asked, and it messages you the summary either way. The plan starts at CA$149/month. Usage (AI, call minutes, SMS, email) is billed by each provider directly to your own account; none is included in our prices. Ask about a trial period to see your real usage first.
Do service-area pages actually help?
They give search engines and customers a real page for each area you serve, with local detail and your services. No page can promise a ranking, and we never do. Thin duplicate pages do not help and we do not build them.
Can you connect the site to my existing job software?
Often yes, through CRM integration from CA$99 when the software has an API or email intake. We confirm the integration path before quoting.
Do I need a blog as a plumber?
Not necessarily. Service pages matter more. A short set of practical articles (frozen pipes, water heater age, what a sump pump does) can help planners find you, and Business Plus includes a CMS if you want it.
