Overview
What Plumbing Live Transfers is
Plumbing Live Transfers are consumers qualified by our team and warm-transferred to your agents, generated by Altarious Global performance campaigns and delivered to your business in real time. Reach homeowners with urgent plumbing emergencies and planned repairs, and connect them with licensed plumbers ready to dispatch.
Live Transfers give plumbing contractors a filtered flow that respects dispatch capacity. Our team confirms the service address is within the coverage area, identifies the issue and whether it is an emergency, verifies homeownership and confirms the caller wants to book service before warm-transferring to the contractor's CSR. This screening removes renters who need to contact their landlord, callers seeking only advice and out-of-area requests, and it lets contractors route emergency calls to on-call dispatch while project inquiries go to estimators.
This product is suited to home services businesses with a team ready to answer during defined hours, a clear view of the consumer they want, and the capacity to convert a live conversation. The acquisition objective is simple: put your team in front of plumbing consumers at the moment they are deciding.
Target consumer
Homeowners and property managers experiencing a plumbing failure or planning a plumbing project, concentrated in owner-occupied single-family homes. The most valuable segments are emergency callers with active leaks or no hot water, homeowners in older housing stock needing repiping or sewer work, and households replacing water heaters or installing tankless and water treatment systems.
Consumer intent
Typical intent signals include: searching for emergency plumber or plumber near me; active leak, burst pipe or sewer backup in the home; water heater not producing hot water or leaking; recurring drain clogs or slow drains throughout the house.
How live transfers are generated
Consumers are acquired through performance campaigns targeting searches such as "plumber near me" and "emergency plumber", plus social and comparison placements. Interested consumers speak with our qualification team before any transfer is attempted.
Qualification approach
Qualification is configured to your appetite. Standard plumbing criteria include: property located within the contractor's service and dispatch area; homeowner or authorised decision maker for the property; nature of the plumbing issue identified and urgency level established; residential or light commercial property type confirmed; ready to schedule a service visit or estimate; not a request for diy advice or parts only.
Delivery process
Once qualified, the consumer is bridged directly to your designated number or queue with a warm introduction. Delivery runs only during your operating hours with daily caps, and you can pause or adjust criteria at any time.
