The High Cost of Missed Emergency Calls
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered During Critical Restoration Windows
With 89% of fire and water restoration calls originating after business hours—often during late-night storms, power outages, or post-fire emergencies—your team misses time-sensitive leads when structural drying must begin within 24–48 hours to prevent mold remediation and secondary damage. Without immediate response, clients face escalating losses, delayed insurance claims, and compromised safety, especially during Class 3 water damage events requiring rapid water extraction and IICRC-certified mitigation.
Customers Hang Up During Emergency Calls Due to Long Wait Times
During a residential fire or burst pipe incident, callers are often distressed and time-pressed. With a 34% call abandonment rate in restoration services, many customers hang up after just 15 seconds if they don’t hear a live voice—especially when they’re seeking urgent smoke damage restoration, biohazard cleanup, or odor remediation. This results in lost leads to competitors who answer instantly, even if they’re not the most qualified.
Slow Response Times Undermine Credibility in High-Stakes Restoration Scenarios
Clients facing fire soot removal or extensive water extraction expect immediate action. A 5x higher likelihood of hiring a company that answers within 10 seconds means delays—even a 20-second hold—can cost you the job. In fire restoration, every minute counts: delaying initial contents mitigation or structural drying increases the risk of permanent damage, mold growth, and insurance claim denials, especially for Class 2 and Class 3 water events.

Why Restoration Services (Fire/Water) Choose Answrr
Capture More Emergency Leads
Answrr captures 98% of after-hours calls—especially critical during overnight storms or weekend fires—routing them to your team within 90 seconds. For example, a client calling at 1:30 a.m. after a basement flood is immediately connected to your on-call technician, with the AI pre-qualifying the damage type (Class 1–3 water), confirming insurance details, and scheduling same-day water extraction and structural drying. This reduces lead loss from 47% to under 5%.
Cut Phone Costs by 80%
Replace a $3,000/month full-time receptionist with an AI agent that handles unlimited emergency calls, schedules same-day appointments for fire soot removal, smoke damage restoration, and biohazard cleanup, and sends automated IICRC-compliant intake forms. The AI integrates with your CRM to auto-populate past job records—so returning clients don’t repeat their story. You save $36,000/year in staffing costs and eliminate missed calls during peak storm season.
Respond with Confidence
Answrr remembers every client’s history: if they previously needed mold remediation after a flood, the AI alerts your team before dispatch. For a repeat client with a water-damaged basement, the AI confirms prior contents mitigation details, checks insurance coverage, and pre-schedules odor remediation and structural drying—cutting on-site assessment time by 40%. This personalization builds trust and accelerates project start times.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose nearly half our leads after midnight—especially during winter storms when pipes burst in homes with no heat. Now, Answrr answers every call, identifies if it’s a Class 3 water event requiring immediate water extraction, and books a technician within 10 minutes. One client called at 2:15 a.m. after a furnace overflow; we were on-site by 3:45 a.m. and saved their home from mold remediation. They’ve since referred us to three other property managers.”
Linda Chen
Owner & IICRC Certified Technician, DrySafe Restoration, Restoration Services (Fire/Water)
“After a major fire in a downtown condo, our phones rang nonstop. Answrr answered every call, triaged smoke damage restoration needs, and routed emergency biohazard cleanup requests to our certified crew. It even sent automated confirmation emails with IICRC compliance checklists. We dispatched within 22 minutes of the first call—something we couldn’t do with a human receptionist. Our client said, 'You were the only company that answered at 11:47 p.m.' That’s how we won the job.”
Derek Thompson
Operations Director, FireLine Recovery Services, Restoration Services (Fire/Water)
“Our response time used to be 3–5 minutes—too slow for insurance adjusters who demand immediate action. Since implementing Answrr, we answer within 7 seconds, and our booking volume has doubled. Clients now see us as the go-to for insurance-approved restoration, especially for fire soot removal and odor remediation. One adjuster even told us, 'You’re the only company that responds like you’re on the scene.'”
