05·Phonewright for Restoration · Trade vertical

In restoration, the first hour is the whole job.

Built for water, fire, and mold mitigation crews on rotating on-call.

Phonewright answers the 2am calls that your rotating on-call schedule can drop. The agent gets the loss type, the source, the square footage, and the insurance carrier, then verifies a human accepts the dispatch before the caller is told help is coming.

75%
of after-hours calls go to voicemail, and most never get a callback.

On the restoration line

Restoration is the one trade where speed and documentation matter equally. We do both before the truck leaves.

Emergencies, triaged

What an emergency call actually sounds like.

Three real-shape examples of restoration emergencies the agent recognizes and routes, with what happens after the first sentence.

EM·01

Active water · whole-home

"Pipe burst in the attic. Water is on every floor."
OutcomeTreated as priority. On-call accepts handoff. Insurance carrier captured pre-dispatch.
EM·02

Post-fire board-up

"Kitchen fire is out, fire department is leaving. House is open."
OutcomeBoard-up dispatched. Insurance adjuster sequence started.
EM·03

Sewage loss

"Main line backed up into the basement. It's bad."
OutcomeCat-3 protocol flagged. PPE-equipped crew dispatched. Plumbing partner notified in parallel.
Everyday bookings

The calls that fill the calendar.

Not every call is on fire. Most calls are paying work that just needs a competent voice on the line at the right time.

BK·01

Mold inspection

Homeowner suspects mold after a slow leak from last year.
OutcomeInspection booked. Photos requested. Air quality testing flagged in the work order.
BK·02

Insurance follow-up

Existing job, adjuster wants additional documentation.
OutcomeRouted to project manager with claim number and current Xactimate scope captured.
BK·03

Content cleaning

Smoke damage in finished basement, contents need pack-out.
OutcomePack-out crew booked. Inventory protocol summarized for the customer.
Tuned for the trade

Rules we set because we have heard the calls go wrong.

Every restoration agent ships with rules tuned to how the trade actually behaves. These are the defaults. Every client tunes their own from there.

01

Always capture the carrier.

Insurance carrier, claim number (if available), and deductible are captured on every loss call. We do not give coverage advice, but we collect what your project manager will need.

02

No promises about coverage.

The agent never tells a homeowner what insurance will or will not pay. That is for your team and the adjuster. The agent says so honestly when asked.

03

Time-stamped from minute one.

Every call is time-stamped and the loss-discovery time is captured. Documentation that holds up in a claim starts at the phone call.

Mitigation is the one job where the difference between a $4K invoice and a $40K invoice is who answered the phone first.
