Built for Restorers · By a Restorer

Be their hero before the truck even leaves the yard.

When a homeowner is staring at water on the floor, the first response wins the job. Scout responds in seconds — guides them through documentation in their own language, captures the photos, briefs your tech — so by the time you arrive, the work is half done and the trust is already built.

THE HOMEOWNER'S EXPERIENCE

From panic to relief, in six panels.

This is what your customer feels when Scout is on the other end. By the time your tech walks up to the door, the trust is already built — and your tech has every detail in hand.

Six-panel comic: a homeowner discovers water flooding her kitchen, taps the link her restoration company sent, talks to Scout, captures photos, the contractor receives the Flash Report, and a tech arrives ready at the door.

SITUATION REPORT

You're not losing jobs because your team isn't good enough.

You're losing jobs because the fifteen minutes between "water is flooding my kitchen" and "a tech is at the door" are a black hole. Calls go to voicemail. Intake details get lost. Techs roll trucks blind. Adjusters push back on incomplete claims.

VECTOR 01 / The First 90 Seconds

A homeowner just realized something is wrong.

They're scared, they're soaked, and they're about to call three companies. Whoever responds first — with calm, clarity, and a real plan — is the one whose truck they want at the door.

VECTOR 02 / Incomplete Intake

Critical details slip through.

Your CSR captures the address but forgets to ask about insurance carrier, source of loss, or safety hazards. Tech arrives unprepared.

VECTOR 03 / Blind Dispatch

Your tech arrives guessing.

No photos. No damage scope. No context. First 30 minutes on-site are spent doing what should have happened over the phone.

THE VILLAIN

"The fog of first response."

Everything that goes wrong between the moment a homeowner realizes they need help and the moment your tech knocks on the door with a plan. Every missed detail. Every slow callback. Every tech who shows up blind. That fog costs restoration companies more jobs than competition ever will.

OPERATIONS PLAN · THREE STEPS

You become the fastest responder in your market.

Scout doesn't replace your team. Scout makes sure your team never shows up blind, never misses a callback, and never loses a job to the fog again.

STEP 01
01

Send the link.

Text or email Scout's intake link to any inbound lead — manually, or auto-fired from your CRM the moment a call goes to voicemail. Works with GoHighLevel, CallRail, ServiceTitan, and most modern phone systems.

10 SECONDS
STEP 02
02

Scout runs the intake.

22-step bilingual conversation. Captures contact info, loss details, insurance, safety concerns, access notes — and guides the homeowner through a photo walkthrough of the damage.

5–8 MINUTES
STEP 03
03

Flash Report hits your inbox.

Structured intake data, inline thumbnail photos, full transcript. Your CSR dispatches with confidence. Your tech arrives ready. Your adjuster gets a clean claim.

WHILE YOU SLEEP
DELIVERABLE

The Flash Report.

Everything you need to dispatch a tech, brief an adjuster, and start the job — in one structured email, generated while you sleep.

Real Scout reports include the homeowner's contact, loss details, insurance info, photos, and tech notes — delivered to any inbox you specify. See real samples below ↓

SEE THE DELIVERABLE

Real Scout reports. Two scenarios.

Both samples are real Scout outputs — the same format your team gets in their inbox, on every loss. No marketing fluff, no fake fields.

Both samples are PDFs. Open, share, or hand them to your team — this is the actual product output.
FORK IN THE ROAD

Two futures. Pick one.

Every loss call is a moment of trust. You either earn it — or your competitor does. Here's what each path looks like, six months from now.

+ With Scout

You become the fastest.

  • Every lead gets a response in under 60 seconds — at any hour, in any language.
  • Techs arrive already briefed, with photos in hand and a plan.
  • Adjusters trust your documentation. Claims move faster. Payouts come quicker.
  • Your close rate climbs. Your CSR overtime drops.
  • You finally sleep through the night.
− Without Scout

You keep fighting the fog.

  • Leads go to whichever competitor picked up the phone first.
  • Techs roll trucks without photos, wasting the first hour on every job.
  • Adjusters push back on incomplete claims. Payouts get delayed.
  • Your CSR burns out. Your team burns out. You burn out.
  • Great jobs slip through the cracks every single weekend.
WHY THIS EXISTS

I've been on both sides of the coin.

I spent a decade in the restoration industry — from SERVPRO franchises to storm response work, including the 2021 Texas freeze. But before any of that, I lived through fourteen years of Tampa hurricane seasons as a homeowner.

I've been the family watching water come in, and I've been the team showing up to stop it. I know both sides of that door.

When a homeowner is staring at water spreading across their floor, they need someone who understands what they're actually going through — not a call center reading a script. And the restoration company on the other end needs every detail captured right the first time, so their tech arrives ready.

I built RestoreScout because nobody else was building the tool I wished I'd had — on either side of the door.

FIELD QUESTIONS

What restoration owners ask.

How is Scout different from an after-hours call center? +

Call centers cost you $800 to $2,500 a month and still send your CSR a voicemail with incomplete info. Scout captures 22 structured data points every time, guides photo capture, and delivers a Flash Report your tech can actually use — in under ten minutes, at a fraction of the cost.

Scout also never has a bad night, never mishears, and never forgets to ask about the insurance carrier.

What languages does Scout speak? +

Scout natively detects and responds in whatever language your homeowner speaks — no setup, no per-customer configuration, no separate phone tree. It's been confirmed working in English, Spanish, and French; the underlying technology handles dozens of languages without translation. Scout doesn't switch into a "Spanish mode" — it actually thinks and responds in the homeowner's language.

For markets with a heavy concentration of a specific language — Vietnamese in California, Polish in Chicago, Haitian Creole in South Florida, anything — we can configure Scout to default to that language for your service area, so detection isn't even needed. Tell us your market during onboarding.

What about insurance compliance and documentation? +

Every Scout intake produces a timestamped transcript, structured data, and geotagged photo evidence. That documentation is exactly what adjusters want to see — and Scout was designed in consultation with a working insurance adjuster to make sure the output reduces claim friction, not adds to it.

Can I customize what Scout asks? +

The core 22-step flow is battle-tested for water, fire, mold, and storm losses. On the Professional and Multi-Location tiers, you can add custom fields, priority questions, or branch-specific branding. Scout adapts to your operation — not the other way around.

Does it work with my CRM? +

Flash Reports can be emailed to any address you specify, which means they drop into anything that accepts inbound email (Jobber, ServiceTitan, GoHighLevel, Zoho, or a shared inbox). Professional and Multi-Location tiers include direct webhook integration for tighter CRM flows.

Why is there a setup fee? +

Because Scout gets built for your operation, not bolted on. Every restoration company runs differently — different CRMs, different service areas, different intake priorities, different branding. The setup fee covers the hands-on work of configuring Scout to match how you already operate: custom intake fields, your branding on the homeowner-facing flow, CRM webhook integration, delivery routing, and a training call with your team.

We do the work so you don't have to. That's why Scout actually works on day one — not two months later when your CSR finally has time to figure out the software.

I own multiple SERVPRO franchises (or multiple brands). How does Multi-Location work? +

The Multi-Location tier is built for exactly this. Each location gets its own intake flow and Flash Report delivery routing, so leads go to the right franchise based on the homeowner's address. You also get a dedicated success manager to handle rollouts as you add territories, and direct input on the product roadmap — a group-level dashboard is already in development for multi-location customers.

The $1,500 setup fee reflects the real work of standing up multiple branded intake flows and routing logic. Given typical restoration job values, a single closed job usually pays for the entire first-year relationship.

How long does setup take? +

Most restoration companies are live in under a week. Your setup fee covers branding, delivery configuration, and a walkthrough with your team. After that, you're sending Scout links to inbound leads immediately.

What if my homeowner only speaks Spanish? +

Scout is fully bilingual. The homeowner selects their language at the start of the intake, and the full 22-step flow runs in English or Spanish. Your Flash Report arrives in English either way.

Is this a long contract? +

Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. If Scout isn't earning you more jobs in 90 days than it costs, you probably shouldn't be paying for it — and we won't ask you to.
