of residential contractors say phone calls are still the dominant way customers reach them. ServiceTitan, 2025 Residential Services Report
"We've been to this house three times."
Maria calls at 7:14 on a Monday morning. "There's water under the kitchen sink again."
Ordinary answering software knows Maria's name. Riff knows the house.
It knows a technician replaced the faucet cartridge eight months ago. It knows another technician noted corrosion around the shutoff valve. And it knows the house has had several unrelated leaks.
So Riff adds one suggestion for the tech: check the house pressure while you're there.
The pressure is high. Suddenly three separate service calls look less like three separate problems. They look like a pattern.
The plumber fixes today's leak. The company learns something that prevents tomorrow's call.
