AI Receptionist
AI receptionist for water and fire restoration
Water damage doubles every hour nobody answers the phone.
The problem
What a missed call costs you
Restoration is the most time-critical trade on this list, and the most valuable per job. Every hour between a burst pipe and a drying crew increases the claim and the damage, so the company that answers at 4am gets a job worth thousands and an insurer relationship worth more. Losses cluster in weather events, which means the phone rings in bursts nobody can staff for.
The pattern is well documented across service businesses: a large share of inbound calls go unanswered, and most callers who reach voicemail never call back. They call the next result instead. That is the entire problem an AI receptionist solves — not clever conversation, just the fact that it always answers.
The calls it handles
Briefed on the conversations a restoration company actually has, not a generic script.
Water damage emergencies
Burst pipes, failed appliances, flooding. Whether water is still coming in, how many rooms are affected, and whether power is safe. Escalated for immediate attendance.
Fire and smoke damage
Usually after the fire service has left, with a distressed occupant and a property that may be uninhabitable. Handled gently and escalated fast.
Insurance claim intake
Insurer, policy and claim number if one exists, plus whether a loss adjuster is already appointed. Captured up front so your crew is not gathering it on a wet floor.
Commercial losses
Business interruption raises the urgency and the value. Routed straight to a senior contact on your rules.
Intake
What it collects before booking
The details your team would ask for, gathered consistently on every call so the job arrives ready to schedule rather than needing a call back.
- Property address and whether it is occupied
- Whether water is still entering, and whether it has been isolated
- How many rooms and floors are affected
- Whether electricity is on and whether it is safe
- Insurer, policy and claim number if known
- Whether a loss adjuster has been appointed
Process
How we would build it
No discovery phase that bills for months. The first call is free and the proposal is fixed before anything is built.
-
Discovery call
Thirty minutes on how work reaches you today and where it stalls. You leave with a clear view of what is worth automating first, whether or not you hire us.
-
Written proposal
A fixed scope, a fixed price and a timeline, in writing, before any work begins. If we think a smaller piece would prove the value faster, we propose that instead.
-
Build and integrate
We build against your real stack and your real data, not a demo environment. You see progress as it happens rather than at a reveal.
-
Test with live traffic
Nothing takes over a customer conversation until it has been tested against how your enquiries actually arrive. We start narrow and widen once it holds.
-
Measure and adjust
Reporting on the numbers that matter — calls answered, enquiries qualified, time saved — and adjustments based on what the data shows.
FAQ
AI receptionists for restoration companys, answered
If something is not covered here, ask us on the call — a straight answer costs you nothing.
Can it advise on stopping the water?
It gives one scripted instruction — shut off at the main — and escalates. Anything beyond that is site-specific and belongs to a person on the phone or on the way.
Will it handle the insurance side?
It captures the claim details accurately, which saves your crew doing it in a flooded hallway. It does not interpret cover, and it is instructed not to speculate about what a policy will pay.
Our calls come in weather-driven bursts.
Which is exactly the pattern a person cannot cover and software can. A storm night is the difference between a normal month and a very good one, decided entirely by who answers.
Callers are often distressed.
They are, and the script is short for that reason: confirm safety, confirm address, get a human on it. Full intake can wait until a crew is dispatched.
