WDR Jobs - Winter vs. Summer

[tmdry]

Do you have a preference of doing WDR jobs in the winter or summer? If either one, why is that?

I would think summer since it's warm out, but there might other "cc who say they do wdr" who might be getting those jobs as well? Since in the winter, carpet cleaners who arent that deep into wdr might pass on jobs to other wdr experts or just say no to clients who call in since it's minus 10 out, thus your company might be receiving more calls?

You as a business owner, have you seen a decrease or increase on jobs from these type of scenarios at all in regards to weather related?

Finally,

Are the winter jobs more profitable/higher revenue than summer jobs or vice versa?

I like winter better, than the summer.

The winter while cold at least you're not getting rained on. Plus most pipe breaks are covered losses.

While rain water losses are generally out of pocket, coming from foundation defects.

Hate rain losses, they suck!

Good to know, thanks for the reply from the two of you.

Richard is right about the pipe breaks and covered losses.
Plus, where we are at we get a lot of them. The down side of winter is when we get a lot of snow and we have multiple losses at once.
Also, CC work here is non-exisent in the winter time so a lot of carpet cleaners try their hand at WDR. However, then we get to do mold jobs in the warmer weather
