ampdIQ for drain cleaning companies

Sewer and drain software that started in a real drain truck

Camera footage and line notes get lost between jobs.

A day with ampdIQ

This is the exact day ampdIQ was built for. Calls answered by AI, jobs dragged onto trucks on the live map, on-the-way texts, and invoices sent from the driveway, every day, by a real drain company.

Why speed matters for drain cleaning companies

First to answer gets the job.

A typical drain cleaning costs homeowners about $246 on average.^[1] A sewer line replacement runs about $3,319 on average.^[2] That's what's on the other end of a missed call.

When something breaks, people call down the list until someone picks up. The company that answers first usually gets the work, and the ones that went to voicemail never hear about it.

Your busy season: Spring thaw and heavy rain mean basement backups, and holidays mean full drains.

What a missed call really costs

27%

of calls to home services businesses aren't answered.^[3]

Under 3%

79%

of US consumers will switch to a competitor that responds faster.^[4]

Is your setup costing you jobs?

Check the ones that sound like your week.

Do calls go to voicemail when you're on a job? Do you find out about missed calls hours later? Do you call around to figure out which truck is closest? Do customers call to ask when you'll show up? Do invoices go out days after the job is done? Do you chase payments for more than a week? Is job history spread across phones, paper and memory?
