Emergency loss path

Water damage callers call until someone picks up.

A flooded basement is not a research project. First calm answer wins the loss.

1. Try the call

Test a restoration emergency call and hear the triage questions.

2. Forward the misses

Forward after-hours calls so the on-call crew gets the loss text immediately.

Lead capture, not legal advice
The AI captures requests and routes edge cases to you.

Example results are not guarantees. Revenue recovered depends on your call volume, local demand, service area, response time, and close rate. VoiceDepot answers calls and captures leads; you remain responsible for licensing, pricing, dispatch, and customer follow-up.

The math

Restoration shops lose $200,000/year to missed loss calls.

Average loss ticket: $5,000–$50,000. Average miss rate during a freeze event or storm: 40–60%. One missed Cat-3 sewage call: $15,000 walking to the next IICRC firm.

Your AI receptionist picks up before the third ring. Triages the loss. Texts your crew chief. Pays for itself with the first captured Cat-2 water call.

from one freeze event

Pipe burst Sunday at 2 a.m. AI answered 9 calls before I woke up. Booked 7 jobs. Insurance paid 9 days later. That weekend covered the rest of the year.

After-hours used to mean I missed half the leads. Now Tony takes the loss type, address, insurance carrier — texts my project manager. Booked rate is up 4x.

assessment-to-job close rate

Most callers want to be told 'someone's coming.' Tony tells them that — books the assessment — and I show up the next morning. We close 80% of the inspections.

Freeze events and summer storms are your biggest days

When a pipe bursts at 2am, homeowners call 2–3 restorers. The first to answer gets the $20,000 job.

Restoration shops miss 40–60% of calls during surge events. Every missed Cat-2 water job goes to the IICRC firm that answered.

Common questions

Smart questions restoration owners ask.

Will Tony know the difference between a Cat-1 spill and a Cat-3 sewage backup?+

Tony asks 4-6 triage questions you set during onboarding (water source, square footage, time since loss, insurance carrier). The text you receive includes their answers so you can prioritize Cat-3 emergencies and the high-value insurance jobs first.

What about insurance carrier and claim number?+

Tony asks for it. If the caller doesn't know it yet, Tony captures their name, address, and a callback time — and tells them to have the claim number ready when you call back. Most carriers (State Farm, USAA, Allstate, Nationwide) Tony recognizes by name.

Can Tony dispatch directly to my crew chief on call?+

Yes. We can route different loss types to different phone numbers — water → crew A, fire → crew B, mold → assessment specialist. Tony can also escalate Cat-3 sewage or active fires to your on-call cell immediately by ringing both your phones.

I'm on jobs in protective gear half the day — does this work?+

Yes. You forward your business line when you suit up. Tony answers everything. The text comes to your phone — read it when you de-gown. Reply YES and Tony confirms the appointment with the customer for you.

What if Tony can't answer something?+

Tony texts you immediately with the caller's name, number, and question. You call them back when you're free. Tony tells them you'll be in touch shortly.

How much does it cost?+

$99/month. 14-day free trial, no credit card. Just forward your calls. Emergency lead capture, lead texts, and call answering included. Cancel anytime, 30-day money-back after trial.

How long does setup take?+

About 5 minutes. Submit your phone number, get a local AI number by text, call it to test the greeting, then forward your line when it sounds right.

Stop missing losses. Start capturing them.
