An irrigation answering service for the week everyone's system won't start.
Spring startup and the first freeze both put a month of calls into a few days. Yours come in while you're holding a slip fix with the cement setting. Risacare texts every missed caller back from your own number.
Why irrigation pros pick Risacare
Startup week is a flood of calls
Everyone's zones fail the same fortnight. Every missed call still gets a text in about thirty seconds.
Wet glue sets on its own schedule
You hold a fix until it grabs — that's both hands. Nothing needs to stop.
A geyser in the lawn is urgent
A broken main is a today call, and the first reply usually gets it.
$79/mo flat
Startup season costs the same as midsummer, with no per-call charges when volume spikes.
Techs Are Underground, Not on the Line
Locating breaks, testing zones, and digging out valves keep your crew's hands busy and their phones in the truck. A missed call during a job often just goes unanswered until the end of the day, by which point the customer has usually called someone else.
A Running System Feels Urgent to the Homeowner
A stuck valve or broken head that's flooding a yard or spiking the water bill feels urgent to whoever's paying for it, even if it's not dangerous. They tend to call several companies at once and go with whoever responds first.
Irrigation & Sprinkler FAQ
Can it diagnose a zone that won't fire?
No — it sends a greeting and a booking link. Valves, wiring and controllers are your visit.
Do winterisation bookings work the same?
Yes. Any missed caller gets the same text, whether they want a blowout, a startup or a repair.
Can I pause it out of season?
Yes, it's month-to-month with no contract.
We get slammed every spring - can Call Catcher handle a flood of missed calls?
Yes. It sends the automatic text-back for every missed call, whether that's one a day or dozens during your busiest week. There's no limit tied to call volume.
Does it schedule the appointment for us?
No. It sends an automatic text letting the caller know you saw their call and will follow up. Actually scheduling and quoting the job is still on you or your office, whenever you're free to respond.
Our work is seasonal - can we pause the service in the off-season?
Call Catcher has no contract, so you can cancel anytime and sign back up when your season ramps up again.
Does it ask the caller questions or qualify the job?
No. Risacare doesn't interview anyone — the caller hears a short greeting and gets a text with your booking link. Qualifying still happens when you call back. Nothing pretends to be a receptionist.
Does it sync with my dispatch or field software?
No. Replies land in your Risacare leads with the caller's number and you get an alert; you enter the job into whatever you already use. We'd rather say that plainly than sell an integration that doesn't exist.
What does it cost?
Call Catcher is $79/mo flat — no per-minute charges, no per-lead fees, no commission on the work it saves. 7-day free trial, card required, cancel any time.
