A kitchen leak. Someone to answer.

Thanks for calling Redmont Plumbing. This is Mabel. How can I help you?

A complete kitchen-sink test call with Mabel’s live agent and an AI test caller. The caller has turned the valve under the sink and the leak has slowed to a drip. He asks for service today or first thing tomorrow, and for a call before anyone comes out. Recorded live with an AI test caller; pauses between turns are shortened. Film and notification graphics are illustrative. Phone digits are hidden in the captions; the callers are fictional.

Thanks for calling Redmont Plumbing. This is Mabel. How can I help you?

0:04 · Caller

Hey, yes ma'am. Uh, I've got water leaking under my kitchen sink... there's a puddle all in the cabinet.

0:10 · Mabel

Oh dear, that is no fun at all. Before we go any further, let me get your name and a good number, just in case we get cut off. What is your name?

0:19 · Caller

It's Bill. Bill Thomas.

0:22 · Mabel

Alright, Bill. And what is the best number for me to reach you at?

0:26 · Caller

Yeah, it's, uh... [phone number hidden].

0:32 · Mabel

And if we happen to get cut off, is it alright if I call you back on that number?

0:37 · Caller

Yes ma'am, that's fine.

0:39 · Mabel

Alright, thank you. Let me read that back to make sure I got it right. I have [phone number read back]. Is that correct?

0:47 · Caller

Yep, that's right.

0:49 · Mabel

Perfect, thank you, Bill. Now, do you need somebody out there right away?

0:53 · Caller

Well, I turned that little valve under the sink. It's slowed way down, but I don't think it's all the way stopped.

0:59 · Mabel

Alright, I am putting this at the top of the list right now. Let me make sure I have everything so they can call you straight back. Since you turned that valve and it is still dripping, do you know where your main water shut-off valve is for the whole house, just in case you need to turn that off to stop the damage while you wait?

1:15 · Caller

It's mostly contained now. Just kind of a slow drip.

1:19 · Mabel

Alright, that is good to hear. I have got it marked down that you have a leak under the kitchen sink and you have turned the valve under there, but it is still dripping a bit. Whereabouts are you located, Bill?

1:29 · Caller

We're over in Homewood.

1:31 · Mabel

Alright, Homewood, I have got that down. And when were you wanting somebody to come out and take a look at this for you?

1:37 · Caller

Today if y'all can. If not, first thing tomorrow's fine. Oh, and could they give me a call before they head out?

1:44 · Mabel

I will absolutely make a note for them to call you before they head your way. I have got everything written down here, and I am going to get this right over to one of our guys so they can call you back to confirm a time to get out there. Is there anything else I should pass along?

1:58 · Caller

No, I think that's it. Just have 'em call me before they come.

2:02 · Mabel

Thank you for calling, Bill. Have a good afternoon.

2:06 · Caller

Alright. Thank you, Mabel. Bye now.

Your way of working.

Keep the number customers know. We help configure and test forwarding with your phone provider, for after-hours coverage or the times you’re busy.
