Software for cleaning and restoration contractors: the storm, the call and the claim.
Restoration work arrives with the weather and with the phone call at two in the morning. The tool has to know the storm is coming, take the call, dispatch, and keep the Homeowner and the adjuster in the loop. HomeMaxx Pro's storm warnings and after-storm outreach are built for exactly that week.
The rows that decide it for restoration contractors.

The articles Homeowners read before they call. Your customers are reading them too.
- Storm season: the week before, the day of and the day after
Hurricanes, derechos and hail all give some warning. What to do with it, how to document the house, and what to do when the storm chasers knock.
- Dryer vents, extension cords and space heaters: the three fire starters in most homes
Most house fires are not electrical faults inside the walls. They start with three ordinary things that get used wrong. Here is what wrong looks like.
- Humidity, mold and the musty basement
Mold does not need a leak. It needs air over 60 percent humidity and a cool surface, and every basement in summer has both. What the number should be, how to get it there and when a musty smell is a bigger problem.
- Hurricane season: the house, the plan and the paperwork
June first is the start, and the preparation that matters is done by then, not the week a storm is named. The roof, the openings, the water, the paper and the thirty-day rule on flood insurance.
