Your Best-Paid Work Goes to Voicemail
After-hours is the profitable call — and every 9 PM ring-out hands it to whoever answered.
Emergency vs. standard rate · Angi, Dallas
Built for DFW Plumbing Contractors
While your phone rings out,
the water keeps running.
The first plumber who picks up gets the job — and in Dallas, the after-hours version of that job bills at 1.5 to 3× your standard rate (Angi).
Nobody with water coming through the ceiling leaves a voicemail — they dial the next plumber on Google. Ava answers every call you can't, 2 AM to mid-freeze, and texts you the details before the caller hangs up.
The Leak Is at the Phone
You already paid for these calls. Then nobody answered.

Only Half of Callers Reach a Person
She doesn't know your crew is under a sink in Frisco. The next truck is already in her driveway.

How Ava Works
Answers. Triages. Books. Texts you before hangup.
01
Answers on the first ring, 24/7
No hold music, no phone tree — your company name on the first ring.
02
Triages the emergency first
Active leak? “Find your main shut-off valve — turn it off now.” Then address, number, what's failing.
03
Escalates real danger correctly
Gas smell → get out, call 911 — and your phone lights up the same second.
04
Books the routine work
Fixture, symptom, preferred window — booked to your calendar, or texted as a complete lead.
05
Texts you before the call ends
Urgency, address, contact, and what they actually said — emergencies flagged on top.

per year, at the figures you entered
You're not spending $799 a month.
You're patching a $35,053 hole for $9,588 — flat, no per-minute, no surge billing.
At your numbers that's 1 call a month to break even. Everything after is margin.
That's the job, not the customer — tonight's drain call is the water heater in two years.

Warm leads, not dead ones. Ava chases every open estimate — day 2, day 5, day 12, in your voice — until it's booked or a clean no.

You don't pay a monthly cent until your agent captures its first 5 qualified leads. No leads, no bill.
A qualified lead is mechanical, not a judgment call: (a) caller inside your service area, (b) asked for an appointment, estimate, or visit — it's in the transcript, (c) name and callback number captured. You see the same call log we do, in real time. Flag any lead within 7 days; unflagged leads stand.
Your agent doesn't answer a single real call until you sign off. You'll hear it, test it, and hand it to three people you trust first.
The only way this costs you money is if it's already making you money.
Who's Behind It · McKinney, TX
Built in DFW. By people you can actually call.
“Your agent won't take a single live call until you've heard it, tested it, and told me it sounds like your company. That's the deal on every account.”
— Rick Leyba, Co-Founder · McKinney, TX
We’re Rick and Colleen Leyba — husband and wife, based in McKinney. Colleen was born and raised here; Rick has called North Texas home for twenty years. We both started our careers in oil & gas, then spent thirteen years building a manufacturing and three-location retail business from scratch — and sold it in 2026. We know exactly what a missed call costs a growing operation, and what it takes to run one where nothing slips. Every call flow is hand-built, tested on real DFW homeowners, and never answers a live call until you’ve heard it and signed off. Our names are on the company, and we stand behind every account.
