Why an AI receptionist fits Richmond trades
Richmond sits on Lulu Island in the Fraser River delta, close to sea level and protected by dikes. Drainage is not a side issue here. Perimeter drains, sump pumps and high water tables are everyday plumbing work, and heavy rain brings a wave of calls.
The city is also boxed in by water. Vancouver International Airport is next door on Sea Island, and getting on or off the island means a bridge or the tunnel. A tech in traffic cannot pick up, and that is when calls are lost.

A Richmond sump pump call in a November rainstorm
Whether water is inside the house decides the response. A homeowner near Steveston calls a plumber because the sump alarm is sounding. The AI receptionist asks if water has reached the floor and takes the address.
Water is rising, which the shop lists as urgent, so Pro phones the on-call plumber. A second caller asking about a drain inspection next month is booked into the calendar.
