Caller: Emergency — a pipe’s burst under the kitchen sink and there’s water everywhere.
Agent: Okay, first thing — can you turn off the water at the mains? It’s usually a tap near the water meter out the front.
Caller: Yep, done, it’s stopped now.
Agent: Great work. I’ll get a plumber out tonight. What’s the address and best mobile to reach you on?
Caller: 14 Marigold Street, Ringwood. Mobile’s 0412 555 190.
Agent: Booked. A plumber will call you within 20 minutes and be there inside the hour. You’ll get an SMS confirmation now.
