Stop Losing Money on After-Hours Emergency Calls
Turn late-night emergencies into your most profitable revenue stream
The complete system for plumbing professionals
The Problem Every plumbing Pro Knows
It’s 11 PM. Your phone rings. Another emergency.
You get out of bed. Drive across town. Work for 2-3 hours. Charge “emergency rates.”
And somehow… you barely make any money.
Why after-hours calls lose money:
- No system for profitable emergency pricing
- Getting called out at 2am for non-emergencies
- Missing parts = driving back to the shop at midnight
- Customers shocked by emergency rates
After-hours SHOULD be your most profitable work. But without a system, it’s a money pit.

Common Questions
Do I need to know Excel or be “tech-savvy”?
No. If you can type numbers into a cell, you can use these spreadsheets. They’re pre-built — you just enter your rates and it does the math.
What if I’m a one-person operation?
The pricing calculator and SOPs still work. You’ll skip the rotation schedule (obviously) and adapt the dispatcher guide for yourself or whoever answers your phone.
How long does it take to implement?
Setting up the pricing calculator: 10-30 minutes. Reading the SOPs: 1 hour. Training your team: 1-2 hours. Full implementation: 1-2 weeks to get everyone following the system.
What if customers won’t pay emergency rates?
The pricing calculator shows you your MINIMUM profitable rate. If customers won’t pay that, the system shows you it’s not worth taking the call. Better to sleep and take a profitable job in the morning than lose money at midnight.
