An after-hours answering service built for flood calls

Restoration demand arrives when your office is closed: a burst supply line at 2 a.m., a sump-pump failure during the spring thaw, a sewer backup on a long weekend. The homeowner calls companies one after another until someone answers — and the first confident answer usually wins the job and the claim. Callara picks up every call instantly, 24/7, and runs the same intake each time: property address and access, water source, whether water is still flowing, affected rooms or floors, insurer, and callback number.

Emergency triage and live transfer to your on-call tech

You decide what counts as an emergency. An active leak or sewer backup can be transferred live to your on-call technician's phone, so a person is talking to the homeowner within the same call. Everything else is logged with a full transcript and summary emailed to you within minutes, and callers who hang up before the call is answered can get an automatic text back. Plans are flat monthly with no per-minute fees, so storm-driven call spikes don't spike your bill.
