A waterproofing answering service for the call that comes the night it rains.
Water in a basement is a same-night phone call, and it lands while you're knee-deep in a trench setting drain tile. Risacare catches the miss: a short greeting, then your booking link in their texts, sent from your own number.
Why waterproofing contractors pick Risacare
Storm nights are your whole season
One heavy rain puts a month of calls into two evenings. Every missed one still gets the text back the second it rings out.
You can't answer from a trench
Setting tile in mud is both hands and boots you can't move fast. Nothing needs putting down.
They book the inspection
The caller taps your link and picks a slot on your connected calendar while the water is still on the floor.
Flat $79/mo
A wet week costs the same as a dry one, and no percentage comes off a five-figure interior drain job.
Calls cluster during storms, all at the same time
Heavy rain doesn't just bring you calls - it brings every waterproofing company in the area calls at once, so your phone lines get busy right when demand peaks.
A flooded basement feels like an emergency to the caller
Even if the fix isn't urgent from a construction standpoint, a homeowner watching water pool in their basement wants reassurance now, not a callback tomorrow.
Basement Waterproofing FAQ
No — it doesn't ask the caller anything. You get their number and whatever they write back, then you diagnose on the callback. A recorded greeting can't see a basement.
No, every missed call gets the same greeting and text. Sorting the flooding-now calls from the quote-me-in-spring calls is your callback.
That's yours to judge. It fixes the referral who calls once from a showing, gets voicemail, and never calls back — you never learn about those.
No, it never answers with a live person or a voice. It sends an automatic text within about 30 seconds of a missed call so the caller knows you got their message and someone will follow up.
Yes. Every missed call triggers its own text reply automatically, so a sudden spike in calls after heavy rain doesn't mean a sudden spike in callers who hear nothing back.
No, it's not an emergency instruction line - it simply confirms the call was received and that your business will follow up, so the caller isn't left guessing while they wait.
No. Risacare doesn't interview anyone — the caller hears a short greeting and gets a text with your booking link. Qualifying still happens when you call back. Nothing pretends to be a receptionist.
No. Replies land in your Risacare leads with the caller's number and you get an alert; you enter the job into whatever you already use. We'd rather say that plainly than sell an integration that doesn't exist.
