Know which water heater repair leads are worth estimate time
Homeowners report the water heater type, describe the problem, and confirm whether water is actively leaking right now, plus upload a photo of the leak and the nameplate, so you can tell an emergency from a routine repair before you drive out.

This is the real 7-question guided intake for Water Heater Repair — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.

The questions your team needs answered
Every water heater repair intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of water heater do you have? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| What problem are you experiencing with the water heater? | No hot water and leaking water carry the heaviest weights, so this answer alone separates an urgent repair call from a minor complaint. |
| Is there active leaking or water damage right now? | Active leaking or water damage is the single highest-weighted question in the catalog and should trigger the fastest response time. |
| How soon do you need this repaired? | Emergency-today timing combined with a leak or no-hot-water report tells you which jobs need same-day scheduling versus a routine slot. |
| Are you the property owner or authorized to approve this repair? | A no answer here signals the submitter may not be able to approve the repair, which matters before a technician is dispatched to the property. |
| Where is the water heater located? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Approximately how old is the water heater? | A unit over 10 years old paired with reduced performance is a strong signal the visit could turn into a replacement conversation rather than a straight repair. |

Built for water heater repair workflows
| Cliont capability | Water Heater Repair application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Scores each submission using the active-leak, problem-type, and urgency answers so a no-hot-water emergency ranks above a strange-noise enquiry that's just exploring options. |
| Conditional intake logic | Adjusts follow-up detail based on the reported problem — a leaking unit prompts for photo evidence, while a no-hot-water report prompts for unit type and age. |
| Authorization capture | Flags leads where the submitter isn't the property owner or authorized decision-maker, so dispatch can confirm approval before a technician is sent. |
| CRM routing | Sends completed water heater repair intakes, including unit type, location, and uploaded photos, directly into your CRM as a scheduled job record. |
Common water heater repair lead scenarios
Active leak, no hot water
Homeowner reports no hot water at all, confirms active leaking or water damage right now, and needs it fixed today, so the intake scores this as urgent and routes it straight to the top of the queue.
Aging unit, reduced output
Water heater is over 10 years old with not enough hot water and no active leak, a signal worth flagging as a possible replacement conversation rather than a simple repair.
Unusual noise or smell
Homeowner selects strange noise, smell, or discoloration on a tankless unit of unknown age, which reads as lower urgency than an active leak but still needs a diagnostic visit.
Tenant, not authorized
Someone filling out the form isn't the property owner and answers no on repair authorization, a detail your team needs before scheduling so you don't show up without approval to proceed.
Just comparing options
Homeowner picks just exploring options for timing with no leak reported, letting you deprioritize the visit without ignoring the enquiry entirely.

Water Heater Repair lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate a real emergency from a routine repair?
The active leak or water damage question and the how-soon-do-you-need-this-repaired question are weighted highest in the catalog, so an active leak plus emergency-today timing scores well above a homeowner who's just exploring options.
Does it collect enough detail to know what parts or tools to bring?
Yes — the intake asks whether the unit is gas, electric, or tankless and where it's located, so your technician can prep before the visit instead of diagnosing the setup from scratch on arrival.
What if the person submitting the form isn't the homeowner?
The intake asks whether the submitter is the property owner or authorized to approve the repair, which flags jobs where you'd need sign-off from someone else before scheduling.
Can the intake surface leads that might turn into a replacement instead of a repair?
The unit's approximate age is captured alongside the reported problem, so an older unit paired with reduced output or a leak is visible before you commit to a repair-only visit.
What photos get collected before I dispatch someone?
The intake is built to gather images of the leak or affected area and the unit's nameplate, giving your team a look at the model and the damage before anyone drives out.
How does a qualified water heater repair lead reach my CRM?
Once a homeowner completes the guided intake, the answers are scored using the catalog's weighting and delivered to your CRM along with any notifications you've set up, so the job is ready to schedule without manual re-entry.
