AI receptionist for plumbers in Balkhash
In Balkhash a plumber usually works alone: he takes the requests, drives out and buys the parts himself. The agent takes WhatsApp off his hands: it finds out what happened, asks for a photo, books a free slot and reminds the customer.
Hello! The kitchen sink hasn’t drained for two days, and the plunger doesn’t help.
Hello! Is it a flat or a private house? And could you send the address, please.
A private house, 31 Auezov Street.
Thank you. The call-out starts at 3,000 tenge, and the plumber will price the clearing on site. I can book you today at 19:30 or tomorrow at 8:30.
Today at 19:30, please.
You’re booked for today at 19:30 with Yerzhan. I’ll send a reminder an hour before.
When customers write in Balkhash
Early in the morning people in Balkhash write that something started leaking overnight, in the evening that a drain is blocked or a tap drips. During the day the plumber is out on jobs, and without the agent these messages would wait until night.
Busiest hours: 07:00 to 09:00 and 17:00 to 21:00
After a frosty night: no water in the summer kitchen. The agent books the nearest free slot.
Afternoon: can the old water heater be swapped for a new one at the weekend? The agent offers Saturday and books it.
Water is standing in the kitchen sink. The agent checks whether it is a flat or a house and finds a plumber for the same evening.
Answers in Kazakh and Russian
The agent writes in the customer’s language: if someone starts in Kazakh, the answer comes in Kazakh. Here is the same reply in both languages.
If a customer writes in English, the agent answers in English.
Пәтердегі негізгі кранды жабыңызшы. Шебер жолға шықты, мекенжайыңыз бен суреттерді оған жібердім.
Перекройте, пожалуйста, главный кран в квартире. Мастер уже выехал, адрес и фото я ему отправила.
What the agent takes off your hands
Water off first
If water is reaching the neighbours or a pipe has burst, the agent first asks for the water to be shut off and passes the request straight to the on-call plumber. A dripping tap or a slow drain is calmly booked for a convenient time.
Collects the address, photos and details
Asks what is leaking and where, since when, whether it is a flat or a private house, and asks for a photo. In a block of flats it takes the floor and flat number, in a street of houses a landmark. The plumber arrives with the right parts.
Books and reminds
Sees your plumbers’ schedule and never books two visits into one slot. The request with photos and the chat is saved in your CRM or the built-in Solwees CRM, and the customer gets a confirmation and a reminder.
The call-out price, no promises
Asked about price, it answers with the call-out charge from your list. What the job itself costs is up to the plumber once he sees the pipes, and the customer knows this before the visit.
Knows private houses
In a private house requests are about the pump, the borehole, the water heater or pipes in the yard. The agent finds out what exactly, where it is and how to get there, so the plumber wastes no time looking.
Balkhash: local context
A copper-smelting town on the northern shore of Lake Balkhash, built around a plant on the Kounrad copper deposit.
The lake is unusual: its western part is almost fresh, its eastern part brackish.
In summer the town turns into a resort, and visitors from other towns flock to the Shubartubek and Torangalyk beaches.
In winter the lake freezes over, anglers sit on the ice right off the embankment, and the town goes quiet until spring.
In summer in Balkhash the hot water is switched off while the heating mains are repaired, and many people fit a water heater ahead of time. The agent books the installations on free days before the queue grows.

Frequently asked questions
Customers write in Kazakh. Will the agent reply?
Yes. The agent writes in Kazakh, Russian and English and replies in the language the customer chose. If someone starts in Russian and carries on in Kazakh, the agent follows.
How does the agent handle an emergency?
It recognises one from the customer’s words: leaking into the flat below, a split pipe, water that will not shut off. Such a request does not wait for a free slot: the plumber gets it at once, day or night, with the address and photos.
Does the agent quote a repair price?
No, the plumber prices the repair after looking at it. The agent says what the call-out costs and makes it clear that the rest will be settled on site.
Where can we see the requests?
In your CRM, or in the built-in Solwees CRM if you have none. Each request has the address, photos, a description and the chat, and the visit sits in the plumber’s schedule.
What does the agent say if the water goes off in a frost?
It asks the customer not to thaw pipes with an open flame, takes the address and a description and books the earliest slot. If something is already leaking, it first asks for the water to be shut off.
Can people call out a technician after their shift?
Yes. Many people write after their shift, late in the evening or at night. The agent answers at once and offers a visit time when someone will be home, early mornings and weekends included.
