The 24/7 Emergency Call Gap
Missed Emergency Calls After Hours: 40% of Fire & Water Damage Calls Unanswered During Critical Response Windows
During weekends and overnight hours, restoration companies face a critical gap in call coverage—40% of emergency calls from homeowners experiencing Class 2 water damage, fire and smoke restoration events, or biohazard cleanup go unanswered. This delay can exacerbate structural drying issues, accelerate mold remediation needs, and compromise insurance claims due to missed 24-hour reporting windows. For example, a kitchen fire in a 3,000 sq. ft. home with smoke odor removal and content restoration needs can see insurance adjusters deny claims if mitigation isn’t documented within 4 hours of the incident.
Lost High-Value Fire & Water Damage Jobs: 85% of Clients Hang Up After Voicemail—Costing $250+ in Lifetime Value Per Missed Call
When a homeowner calls after a burst pipe causing Class 3 water damage or a residential fire requiring full fire and smoke restoration, they expect immediate help. If the call goes to voicemail, 85% of these clients never return—especially when dealing with urgent issues like standing water in a basement or a smoke-affected HVAC system. Each missed call represents a lost $250+ in potential revenue from a single insurance-approved restoration project, including structural drying, content restoration, and IICRC-certified mold remediation.
On-Site Technicians Can’t Answer Phones: Field Teams Overwhelmed by Structural Drying and Content Restoration Tasks
Field crews are often deployed to sites with severe Class 3 water damage, where structural drying with industrial dehumidifiers and air movers is underway. Simultaneously, teams are conducting content restoration for personal belongings, furniture, and documents—tasks that require full attention. With 100% of on-site technicians unable to answer incoming calls during active projects, critical follow-ups for insurance claims, emergency scheduling, or client updates are delayed, risking client trust and service continuity.

Why Restoration Services (Fire/Water) Choose Answrr
Capture Every Emergency Call
Answrr captures every emergency call 24/7, even during a 3 a.m. fire in a multi-family dwelling. The AI receptionist immediately identifies the incident type—e.g., fire and smoke restoration or Class 2 water damage—and routes the call to the nearest available crew. Since implementation, Rapid Restoration Co. has booked 12 emergency fire and smoke restoration jobs in under 3 months, including two cases involving smoke odor removal in homes with HVAC systems requiring IICRC-certified decontamination.
Book Urgent Restoration Appointments
Answrr automatically schedules same-day insurance-approved restoration appointments via real-time sync with Calendly and GoHighLevel. For example, a client reporting a basement flood with Class 3 water damage receives a callback within 90 seconds, and a structural drying plan is booked within 2 hours. This reduces the average time to first response from 4.2 hours to under 1 hour, improving client satisfaction and aligning with insurance company requirements for rapid water mitigation.
Build Trust with Instant Response
Answrr delivers empathetic, human-like responses during high-stress events—such as a post-fire biohazard cleanup or mold remediation after a prolonged flood. The system uses IICRC-certified terminology and confirms key details like the extent of water damage (Class 1–3), insurance provider, and whether content restoration or smoke odor removal is needed. Clients rate communication as 'excellent' or 'good' 92% of the time, exceeding the industry average of 90%.
