The Missed Calls That Cost You Clients
Emergency Calls Go Unanswered During Storms and Flood Events
With 62% of after-hours calls going unanswered during peak storm seasons—when hydrostatic pressure causes basement flooding and roof leaks are most common—waterproofing companies lose critical high-intent leads. For example, a single missed call during a 48-hour rain event can mean losing a commercial client needing urgent tunnel waterproofing or a homeowner requiring cold liquid applied membranes for a cracked foundation. These delays not only impact revenue but also damage trust in emergency response capabilities, especially when competing against firms with 24/7 availability.
Low Differentiation in a Saturated Market with Volatile Demand
The North American waterproofing market is projected to grow at 8.22% CAGR, yet low barriers to entry have led to oversaturation—especially in urban areas like Chicago, Miami, and Toronto. With fluctuating interest rates impacting home renovation budgets, demand for services like fully adhered sheet membranes and integral waterproofing systems becomes unpredictable. Without a system to consistently capture leads during both high and low demand periods, waterproofing companies struggle to maintain consistent cash flow and brand credibility.
Unpredictable Workloads from Extreme Weather Events and Climate Shifts
The 7% CAGR growth in waterproofing and restoration services is driven by an increasing frequency of extreme weather—such as flash floods, hurricanes, and prolonged rainfall—leading to sudden surges in emergency calls for building envelope protection. In 2024 alone, 17% of waterproofing contractors reported a 40% spike in emergency basement waterproofing requests within a single week after a Category 1 storm. Without an automated system to triage and schedule these urgent jobs, teams risk burnout, missed appointments, and reputational damage.

One Houston-based contractor reported zero missed emergency calls during Hurricane Beryl in 2024, booking 14 emergency jobs in 48 hours.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost over $18,000 in potential basement waterproofing jobs during last winter’s ice storm because our phone wasn’t answered after 7 PM. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve booked 22 emergency jobs in just two months—most involving cold liquid applied membranes for foundation cracks. Clients are impressed we’re available at midnight during a flood, and our dispatch team says the AI’s ability to ask about VOC regulations and membrane type has cut onboarding time by 35%.”
Derek Thompson
Operations Director, Gulf Coast Waterproofing & Restoration, Waterproofing Companies
“After a major storm in October, we received 47 calls in 7 hours—most from homeowners with basement flooding. Our AI receptionist asked the right questions: ‘Is this a hydrostatic pressure issue?’ ‘Have you had a prior leak with loose-laid sheet membranes?’ Then it booked 19 appointments in under 2 hours. We even captured a commercial client needing fully adhered sheet membranes for a warehouse roof. Our conversion rate from call to job rose from 14% to 39% in one quarter.”

We’ve reduced average call handling time by 44% and improved client satisfaction scores from 4.1 to 4.8 out of 5.”
