A condo board calling about a failed 40-year recertification report needs a different conversation than a homeowner with a leak under the sink, and in Miami-Dade both calls happen in English and Spanish about equally often. AutoRev is an AI receptionist for plumbers in Miami, Florida, trained to ask for a building's age and inspection deadline the moment recertification comes up, and to hold the entire intake in Spanish without a transfer when that's the language the call starts in. It answers every call, text and web chat day or night, books on your live calendar, dispatches across Miami-Dade's 35 municipalities from Little Havana and Shenandoah out to Coral Gables, Doral and Kendall, quotes from your pricebook and chases the estimate.

Pre-1970 Miami, from Little Havana through Shenandoah and the older blocks of Coral Way and Coconut Grove, was built on cast iron drain lines and galvanized supply. That's standard for the era anywhere in the country. What isn't standard is fifty-plus years of it sitting above a shallow aquifer that never really lets the ground dry out.
Miami-Dade's 40-year rule and the state's post-Surfside milestone law both land on the same buildings. A condo board doesn't call about a slow drain anymore, it calls with an inspection report, a citation risk, and a window measured in days, not seasons.
Miami-Dade runs 35 separate municipalities, each with its own building department and its own recertification notices. A caller in Doral and a caller in unincorporated Kendall are following two different sets of paperwork, even though a shop treats both as the same service area.
Census data puts Spanish-at-home use in Miami-Dade at roughly 66 percent. A receptionist that can't hold that conversation isn't losing a niche, it's losing the majority caller.
There's no freeze event to survive here and no quiet month to make up for it. Revenue is spread evenly across the calendar, and so is what a shop loses every evening and weekend it doesn't answer.
What the caller says, and what happens next.
"Our forty-year report came back and it says the drain stack needs to be replaced before we can close out the inspection. Who do we even call for that?"
This caller has an engineer's report, not a symptom. AutoRev asks for the building's age, the report's findings and the county deadline on file, flags the job as permitted recertification work rather than routine service, and books a site visit with the time allowance that kind of scope needs. The board gets a callback with a real plan instead of a voicemail.
"Buenas noches, tengo un tubo que gotea debajo del fregadero y no sé si es una emergencia."
AutoRev answers in Spanish without a transfer, a hold, or a switch to English. It asks the same intake questions it would in either language, confirms the address and severity, and books the visit. The caller never has to work harder than the person calling in English does.
"I've called two other plumbers and got voicemail both times. My water heater just started leaking."
There's no storm, no freeze, nothing unusual about this night at all. It's just past five o'clock. AutoRev picks up on the first ring, gathers what the tech needs, and books it while the two shops the caller already tried stay dark until morning.
No transfer to a bilingual line that may or may not be staffed. AutoRev holds the whole conversation in Spanish or English on the same call, from the first hello to the booked appointment.
Trained on your services and your Miami-Dade service area, it captures building age and inspection status when that's what the call is about, and routes it as the permitted, higher-ticket work it is instead of a generic service ticket.
Evenings, weekends, the ordinary Tuesday night after 5pm. Miami's competitive fight isn't a single event, it's every one of those hours, all year, and AutoRev is answering every one of them.
Booking on your live calendar, dispatch across Miami-Dade, pricebook quoting, estimate follow-up, invoicing, payment collection, the Google review request. Answering the phone is step one, not the whole product.
Most AI receptionists on the market are the same handful of white-label voice platforms with a different logo on the login page, and all of them stop at taking a message. AutoRev is proprietary end to end, built on the best models available and tuned to the individual shop. It works on top of the software you already run, or it runs the whole operation itself. Either way, picking up is where it starts rather than where it finishes.
Every call, text and web chat in under 30 seconds, day or night, unlimited at once. Emergencies get triaged against your on-call rules and pushed straight to the tech on rotation.
The caller who hung up undecided gets a text with what you quoted and a link to pick a time. Most of them were not saying no, they were saying not right now.
It keeps working the lead until they book or tell you no. No lead sits in a folder waiting for someone in the office to remember it.
Appointment confirmations and reminders go out on their own, which is the cheapest way to cut no-shows you will ever find.
The customer gets told when someone is heading over and who it is. Fewer 'where are they' calls tying up your line.
Real ranges from your pricebook on the call, then a written estimate sent while the job is still fresh.
Unsold estimates get worked on a schedule until there is an answer. This is usually the largest pile of recoverable revenue a shop is sitting on.
The invoice goes out off the completed job, payment reminders go out after it, and the customer pays on a link.
A Google review request after every completed job. Local rank moves on review velocity and this is the step every busy shop drops.
Nobody hands you a login and wishes you luck. We sit with every shop we take on and build the agent around your market and your operation before it takes a single call.
Your ZIP codes, your service area boundary, local regulations and the standard operating procedures that apply where you work. It knows which addresses you cover and which you do not.
We sit down and build the call script around how you actually run jobs. If you would rather hand it over, we write it for you and you approve it.
Want it wired into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber or FieldEdge? We do the integration work. Want AutoRev to be the system instead? That works too.
We help you set up call forwarding, so the number on your trucks and your Google listing stays exactly as it is. Nothing on your marketing has to change.

| Coverage | Miami and Miami-Dade County, roughly a 30 mile radius across 35 separate municipalities |
|---|---|
| Area codes | 305 and 786 |
| Peak emergency season | None. Miami does not freeze, so there is no seasonal surge, only a steady after-hours and weekend gap most local shops leave open every week of the year |
| What drives the calls | Cast iron drain stacks and galvanized supply failing in pre-1970 buildings, surfaced by mandatory recertification inspections rather than by a burst pipe |
| Recertification | Miami-Dade's own 40-year rule has run since 1975. A 2022 statewide law added a 30-year (or 25-year, within three miles of the coast) milestone inspection for condos, passed after the Surfside collapse |
| Language | Miami-Dade is 70.6% Hispanic and roughly two in three residents speak Spanish at home, per Census Bureau data |

On June 24, 2021, part of a beachfront condo tower came down in Surfside, twenty minutes north of downtown Miami. Within a year, Tallahassee had passed a statewide law forcing milestone structural inspections on every condo and co-op three stories or taller, at 30 years, or 25 if the building sits within three miles of the coast. Miami-Dade already had its own version of this rule on the books since 1975: any building over 2,000 square feet turning 40 has 90 days to get a structural and electrical report to the county, then does it again every ten years. Those two rules stack now, and they keep finding the same thing building after building: cast iron drain stacks that have been corroding from the inside for half a century, sitting a few feet above a limestone aquifer that keeps the water table high year round.
That collision is the whole story of this market. A recertification inspection that used to be a formality is now the reason a condo board calls a plumber with an engineer's report in hand and a legal deadline attached to it. The repair isn't optional, it's permitted, it's inspected, and it's priced like the emergency it is, even though nobody's basement is flooding right now. A shop that answers that call well, on the first ring, from someone who understands what a 90-day recertification window means, wins work that used to go to whoever the property manager happened to know.
Then there's the other fact about this county a plumber's phone line has to handle. Miami-Dade is 70.6% Hispanic, and roughly two in three residents speak Spanish at home. That isn't a segment of the market here. For a lot of callers, it is the market. A phone line that only works in English is quietly losing a majority of the calls it should be winning, every single day, and most of the AI receptionist pages already ranking for Miami plumbers don't mention it at all. One does, in a single bullet buried in a features list.
None of this runs on a season. Miami doesn't freeze. January averages 68 degrees, and a reading below 40 has happened in only eight calendar years since 1981. There's no winter surge to staff for and no slow month to coast through, which means the whole competitive fight comes down to evenings and weekends, the hours most local shops still let go to voicemail, in a metro spread across 35 separate cities each running its own building department, its own recertification notices, and its own idea of who picks up the phone fastest.
Miami-Dade runs 35 separate municipalities, and a caller in Doral is following a different building department's recertification notice than a caller in unincorporated Kendall, even on the same kind of service call. AutoRev is trained on that fragmentation, holds the entire conversation in English or Spanish without a transfer, and books on your live calendar and pricebook rather than reading from a generic answering script. Call the demo line and ask it about a 40-year report before you decide anything.
Yes, start to finish, no hold and no transfer to a separate bilingual line. Roughly two out of three Miami-Dade residents speak Spanish at home, and AutoRev asks the same intake questions and books the same way in either language, so nobody works harder because of which language they called in.
It does, because you teach it. When a caller mentions a 40-year report, a milestone inspection or a county citation, AutoRev asks for the building's age and the report's findings, then books the job as permitted recertification work, not a routine repair, so it gets the time and the price that scope needs.
Differently than a same-day leak call. A board calling with a citation and a 90-day deadline is working against a legal clock, not describing a symptom, and AutoRev captures the deadline and the report's findings up front instead of asking generic troubleshooting questions that waste the board's time.
It still books it correctly. Miami doesn't freeze, so there's no single stretch of the year that spikes and no slow month either. Call volume runs steady across the calendar, and AutoRev treats an ordinary Tuesday call the same as any other, since the whole advantage here is answering evenings and weekends other shops let go to voicemail.
Both are real options. It reads and writes ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge and hundreds of other systems, so jobs and notes land where your office already looks. It also runs as the system itself, covering dispatch, scheduling, pricebook, estimates, invoicing and payments.
The call is the smallest part of it. It texts back someone who hung up undecided, follows up until they book or say no, sends the appointment reminder, tells the customer when a tech is on the way, sends the estimate and chases it, invoices off the finished job, and asks for the Google review.
Whatever boundary you draw. A typical Miami shop runs a 30 mile radius across the 305 and 786 codes, from Little Havana, Shenandoah and Coconut Grove out through Coral Gables, Miami Beach, Doral, Kendall, Hialeah and Homestead. AutoRev checks a caller's address against that boundary before it books, so a job outside the line is handled honestly.
