Restoration answering service

A pipe bursts at 2 a.m. A live person answers, and your crew gets the call.

In restoration, the company that answers first usually gets the job. A homeowner standing in an inch of water, or a property manager with smoke damage in three units, isn’t going to leave a message. Our restoration answering service answers every call in your company’s name, gathers the details your crew needs, and dispatches water, fire and mold emergencies to your on-call team right away.

We answer 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in English and Spanish. When a storm sends calls through the roof, overflow calls reach a live agent instead of a busy signal. Agents can also phone patch a caller straight through to your project manager when you want them on the line.

You write the script: which losses count as emergencies, what to ask about the damage, what safety wording to read, and who is on call each night. Scripts and greetings are built around your playbook, and you can update on-call schedules through the client portal as crews rotate. Every call reaches your team with the address, the damage and the caller’s contact details, so your crew can roll as soon as they hang up.

Questions

Restoration answering service FAQs

Don’t see your question? Call and ask a live agent, any time.

What do your agents ask on a water damage call?

Whatever your script says. Most restoration companies want the address, the source of the water, whether it has stopped, which rooms are affected, and the insurance carrier and claim number if the caller has them.

Can you dispatch our on-call crew after hours?

Yes. Emergencies go to your on-call contact through your escalation tree. If the first person doesn’t answer, the agent moves to the next one until someone has the call.

Do you take calls from insurance adjusters and policyholders?

Yes. Agents take down the claim details and the caller’s question and send them to your office, or route them to a specific person if you prefer.

How much does a restoration answering service cost?

Plans start at $33 and scale with call volume and complexity, with volume discounts for larger companies. See our pricing page or contact us for a quote.
