A phone system built for the morning after the storm, with estimators underground and crews cutting concrete.
A waterproofing company's phone has to work when nobody can hold one: the estimator is in a basement with no signal, the crew lead is cutting concrete, and the owner is driving between the two. Calls spike on rain days, go quiet in August, and come back years later from people who bought a house you waterproofed.
No signal in the basement, a surge on rain days, and calls that arrive a decade later
An estimator spends two hours below grade on every appointment. For those two hours their cell is a brick, and anything that rang it is gone. The business line has to ring the office, then the next available estimator, then the owner, then the AI receptionist, in an order that changes when it rains, so no lead depends on one person being above ground.
The record matters more in this trade than in most. Warranties last a long time, and the disputes come late: a new owner who was told the warranty transferred automatically, a homeowner who swears the estimator said the downspouts were included, a question about what the service plan covers. A recorded call, made with consent and filed against the property, ends that argument in a minute. Yard signs, home show booths, agent referral cards and radio spots each bring calls too, and a separate number on each one shows which of them paid for itself after the spring storms instead of leaving you guessing.
What a waterproofing phone system has to do
The first ten seconds of a rain-day call decide whether the lead is yours.
Ring in an order that changes with the weather
Office, then the estimator who is not in a basement, then the owner, then the receptionist, with a rain-day order that widens to everyone and an after-hours order that goes straight to the receptionist and the on-call tech for pump failures.
Text back every missed call within seconds
A text goes out under the company number: we missed your call, is there water in the basement right now, and what is the address. The reply creates or updates a lead and, if there is water now, pages the on-call tech.
A tracking number for every source
The website, the Google profile, yard signs on finished jobs, the home show booth, each agent's referral cards and each radio or mailer campaign get their own number, all ringing the same group, so the lead carries its source into the CRM.
Estimators and crew leads on business lines
The mobile app lets them call and text from their own phones while showing the company number. When an estimator leaves, the homeowner conversations stay with the company and the next estimator picks them up.
Recording and transcripts filed to the property
Where your state permits recording and the caller has been told, calls are recorded, transcribed and attached to the house, and the office can find what was promised about the warranty five years on.
What we set up for a waterproofing company
The system runs on a carrier account in your company's name; we are an administrator you can remove.
Keeping the number on the trucks
Your existing line moves to the new carrier, the ring orders are tested before the switch, and the old carrier stays live until every test call lands where it should.
Rain mode, flipped from your phone
One setting changes the greeting, widens the ring order, turns on the receptionist for overflow and starts the missed-call text with the water-now question. You flip it when the radar turns red.
Registered business texting
Your numbers registered with the carriers so appointment confirmations, pump-test reminders and review requests are delivered, with STOP handled automatically and logged.
Calls written into the CRM
Every call lands on a lead, new or existing, with its source, length, outcome and recording, and a warranty caller's address attaches to the property record. The owner sees calls per source without a second dashboard.
What you own on day one.
Every account is opened in your company's name with you as the owner. If you ever leave, you change a password, not your business.

Business Phone for basement waterproofing, answered.
Can we keep the number that is on our trucks and yard signs?
Yes. Numbers move between carriers under federal porting rules, and the old number keeps ringing until the switch is done.
Do the estimators need company phones?
No. The app on their own phone shows the business number for calls and texts and keeps the conversation logged with the company. If they leave, the number and the thread stay with you.
Is it legal to record our sales calls?
The answer depends on the state you are in and on whether the caller is told. Some states require consent from everyone on the call, others from one party. We set the announcement and the rules to match your state, and our state pages list each one's recording rule.
What happens to calls during a storm when every line is busy?
The ring group widens, the receptionist takes the overflow, and anyone still missed gets the text within seconds. Nobody lands in a full voicemail box.
