“If it's a real customer, they'll leave a voicemail or call back.”
They usually won't. Most hang up and call the next plumber on the list.

That's 8,966 plumbing & HVAC contractors chasing the work of 6.88M Texas homeowners — roughly 767 homes for every firm. Leaks, clogs, and no-hot-water calls don't keep business hours, and in homes around 32 years old, aging pipes and water heaters give out often.
When one of those homeownerscalls and you don't pick up, they don't wait — they tap the next firm on the list. A missed call isn't a missed message; it's a job that went to a competitor. The fix isn't more leads — it's answering the ones you already get.
