What it is
A work-order app for plumbing is a web-based tool that turns every leak call, drain clog, and fixture install into a tracked job record linked to a property, the plumber assigned, and its current status. It gives a plumbing business one shared view of what's dispatched, what's in progress, and what's closed instead of scattered call slips and phone messages.
What your plumbing work order tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for plumbing.
Job type (leak / clog / install / repipe)
Plumbing work ranges from a five-minute cartridge swap to a full repipe, and the type sets the time and crew needed.
Fixture / system affected
Knowing it's a water heater versus a main line versus a toilet tells the plumber what parts and tools to bring.
Water shut-off location
For an emergency leak, noting where the shut-off is saves critical minutes and prevents water damage on arrival.
Pipe material
Copper, PEX, cast iron, or galvanized changes the fittings and approach, so recording it avoids a stalled job.
Permit required
Water-heater and repipe work often needs a permit, and flagging it upfront keeps the job legal and on schedule.
Priority (emergency / scheduled)
An active leak or sewage backup jumps the queue ahead of a scheduled faucet install.
Assigned plumber
Some jobs need a licensed journeyman while a drain clean can go to an apprentice, so assignment matters.
Estimate amount
Capturing the quoted figure on the record keeps the office and the customer aligned before work starts.
Before / after photos
Photos of the corroded valve or finished install document the condition and justify the charge.

Frequently asked questions
Can the plumbing app collect payment or connect to QuickBooks?+
No — Kleap doesn't run a payment processor or sync with QuickBooks or other accounting tools. What it does is hold a clean record of every job, the fixture worked on, and the estimate amount you entered, so your bookkeeping stays accurate in whatever system you already use. It's the field record, and your accounting stays separate.
Is there a mobile app for plumbers in the truck?+
There's no app-store download — instead the tool is a responsive website that works fully in a phone browser. A plumber can open their assigned call, check the pipe material and shut-off notes, and snap before-and-after photos from the job site. Nothing to install, and it updates the same shared records the office sees.
How do I handle after-hours emergency calls?+
You log the emergency as a work order, mark its priority, and assign the on-call plumber so it's front-and-center in the queue. Because the record captures the shut-off location and the reported problem, the plumber arrives with context instead of guessing. The tool organizes the emergency but won't auto-text the customer for you.
Can I keep a service history for a repeat property?+
Yes — every work order is tied to the property and customer, so you can see prior repipes, water-heater installs, and drain cleanings for that address. That history helps the next plumber avoid re-diagnosing an issue you already solved. It's especially useful for property managers and landlords who call repeatedly.
