For water damage and restoration businesses

Losing water damage and restoration jobs you should have won?

When someone has a flooded kitchen or a burst supply line, they search, they call, and they book whoever answers and looks right. We check the places a restoration company loses that call, and what it is costing you, against your own numbers.

The Revenue Review

It shows you the right road: what to do, in what order, over the next ninety days.

One price paid up front

after we have looked your business up — and only if you want the work. Not refundable once paid, which is why we look first.

What gets checked

What we check for a restoration company.

From your own numbers

A short set of questions about your business, about twelve minutes, answered after you pay. Nobody outside your business can see any of this.

Money you have earned and are waiting for

What insurers and homeowners owe you, and how long it has been waiting.

Deductibles not yet collected

The homeowner's share of the bill, and how much of it is still owed to you.

What you billed, what you were paid, and what never made the estimate

The gap between what you billed and what you were paid, what sits inside it, and the extra work that never reached the paperwork.

Houses you dried out and someone else rebuilt

The second half of the job, and where it went.

Where your work comes from

How much rides on one relationship, and what your programs cost you.

Drying equipment

How many machines are working and how many are on the shelf.

Rebuild, mold and cash estimates

Quotes you gave that did not sell, and whether anyone followed up.

Cash-job prices

When they last moved, and what your costs have done since.

Jobs you went back to for free

How many, and what brought you back.

Paid hours no customer paid for

The gap between hours paid and hours billed.

Overtime

What you pay each month, under California's daily rules.

Marketing you cannot trace

Spend with no job count against it, and calls that never became a job.

Calls you never got a shot at

Somebody else’s phone rang instead of yours. This is the half we can see from the outside, before you pay us anything.

Where you show up

Whether you appear when somebody nearby searches “water damage restoration”, and who sits above you if you do not.

Your listing

Wrong hours, missing categories, an emergency service nobody can see.

What happens after six

What actually happens when somebody with a flooded kitchen or a burst supply line tries to reach you outside business hours.

Your reviews against theirs

How fast reviews are arriving compared with the water damage and restoration businesses beating you.

The towns you’re missing

The places you would happily drive to for a mitigation job that turns into a rebuild, where nobody can find you.

How hard you are to book

How much work it takes a customer to book you from the phone in their hand.

The reviews nobody answered

Especially the bad ones. A complaint with no reply is the last thing a customer reads before choosing somebody else.

What your listing looks like

What your business looks like to somebody deciding between you and the next name down.

Questions strangers answered for you

Strangers can answer questions on your listing, and their guesses about your prices and hours sit there looking like yours.

How they pay for the big jobs

Whether financing for a mitigation job that turns into a rebuild is on the page at all.

How it works

Four steps.

1

We look your business up first

Before anything is paid, we look at what is public about your business. If we cannot see anything worth finding, we tell you, and that is the end of it. We ring you within one business day.

2

We look at your business while you are on the phone

Your listing, your hours, your reviews, and what the water damage and restoration businesses beating you are doing differently. You can check every point on your own screen while we talk.

3

If it is worth doing, you pay up front

In full, by card over the phone, and only if you want the work done. If we do not think there is enough there, we say so on the call and you pay nothing.

4

You answer our questions, then the revenue review lands

Some are a tap, some ask you to read a figure off your own screen. “I don’t know” is an allowed answer. The revenue review is with you within 48 hours of your answers.

Before you pay

What we will ask you.

About twelve minutes of questions about your own business: your jobs, your crew, your money and your marketing. Most ask you to read a figure off your own screen or books. We never take your paperwork, and “I don’t know” is always an allowed answer. We go through them with you on the call before you decide.

New owner?

Just bought a restoration company, or about to?

Take the keys with a plan. Once it is yours, we cost what the business leaks from its own figures: the calls nobody answers, the quotes nobody chases, the work nobody bills. Then we show you what to fix first. We tell you what it leaks, not what it is worth. That is for your broker and your accountant.

Still in escrow? Talk to us first. The call costs nothing, and we will tell you which figures to ask the seller for. The same revenue review and the same price, paid up front once we have looked the business up.

The revenue review
One price

Paid up front, only after we have looked your business up and you want the work. Not refundable once paid, which is why we look first.

No contract, no retainer, nothing recurring. This revenue review does not include ads, search rankings or websites, and nothing in its price depends on you buying them. If you want the fixes done for you afterwards, our sister service, HoursDesk, opening in November, can quote for them, and you are free to say no.
