Built for restoration crews on the clock in an emergency.
AI receptionist and missed-call text-back for water and fire restoration companies. When you're mid-extraction on a flooded job, Helm answers the call you missed, finds out what happened and where, and texts you a qualified lead fast.
Water damage is measured in minutes, not days.
A burst pipe or a flooded basement gets worse every hour, and the homeowner is calling every restoration company until someone answers. If your crew is already mid-extraction on another job, that call goes elsewhere. Helm answers instantly, finds out what happened and how bad it is, and sends you the lead so you can dispatch fast.
How Helm works for restoration companies.
No new phone system, no app. Helm sits behind the number you already have and goes to work the moment a call goes unanswered.
The call comes in
A customer calls and you can't pick up because you're pulling water out of a basement. Helm catches it through conditional call forwarding, so nothing changes on their end.
Helm answers in seconds
Before they move on to the next company, Helm texts the caller back (or answers by voice) and starts the conversation.
It asks the right questions
Helm finds out what's wrong, gets the address, and asks for a couple of times that work, one question at a time. It never quotes a price or promises a time it can't keep.
You get a lead ready to book
A clean summary lands in your phone and inbox: name, problem, address, timing, and the full conversation. You call back and book the work.
From missed call to booked job.
A real exchange in Helm's voice, and the lead that lands in your phone when it wraps.
Delivered by text and email the moment the conversation wraps.
Helm for restoration companies, answered.
Yes. When your crew is mid-extraction and can't pick up, Helm answers the call you miss and texts the caller back within seconds. It finds out what happened (water damage, flooding, fire, smoke, mold), how bad it is, and where, gets the address and whether they're on site, and sends you a qualified lead by text and email. It sits behind your existing number, so nothing changes for the caller.
Helm treats it as top priority. It gives immediate guidance like shutting off the water main, then fast-tracks the address and whether they're on site so you can dispatch. It commits to moving fast without promising an exact arrival time. For a fire or anything dangerous, it points them to call 911 first.
It won't speak to coverage or file anything, but it captures the cause and the extent of the damage so your team walks in ready to document the loss for the homeowner's insurer. The full conversation comes through in the lead so nothing gets lost.
No. Helm doesn't quote work it hasn't assessed. It captures the situation so you can scope it on site, and tells the customer you'll confirm once a crew evaluates the damage. It won't commit your calendar either.
You keep your number. Helm uses conditional call forwarding so unanswered calls route to it automatically, with no hardware or app, and it works with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. Pricing starts at $75/month for Capture and $249/month for Convert, whose always-on voice receptionist matters most here since emergencies come in overnight. Billed monthly, no contract.
