[Desk Jockey]

Geezz That's great!


Wish we had few of those, hadn't had one all week.

I don’t know how the restoration focused companies deal with the unsteady work load. It’s hard enough keeping things running smoothly with fairly steady work on the cleaning side.

We had over 40 calls today, seems like every house in the state has an ice dam situation and half of those have intrusive water, plus 59 inches of snow on the ground and pipes bursting everywhere.
We have a big flood job at a library on 2 floors and people are calling for CC when we are usually dead.

This AMAZING 96 year old lady who lives alone had a flood and the poor thing was shoveling the water into the sink. Her son flew in from Fl. This is a 2 claim job a broken pipe and a leaking roof.

[Hoody]

Did you give her a snow sling ?

 

[KeithCo]

Did you have her keep shoveling to help with the deductible?

[Hoody]

Looks like its time for Hoody to make another trip to Connecticut. :shock:

 

[Al]

Another big snow storm coming, we got automatic phones calls from the emergency station telling people to get the snow off the roofs before the new storm :shock:
Ice melt and roof rakes are out of stock everywhere, you have to be there when an order arrives.

Got a whole McMansion fllood yesterday, leaked all the way around the perimiter of house, from Ice dams, every room has damage on 2 floors.

and a single floor condo, 2 inches everywhere.

Besides my back going out and a i wanna die stomach bug. I'm having a blast :mrgreen:
I'm feeling better today though

 

[-JB-]

Hope you feel better Al.

 

[Ed]

That's awesome Al, congratulations.

How many techs do you have?
Of the 30 per day, how many are you actually accepting and doing, or are you placing them on a waiting list?

When we had the bad ice storm a couple of years ago, we received 22 calls in 24 hours. We had 12 full time techs and it was tough getting to them all in a couple of days. We had to start placing them on a waiting list. By the time we got back around to calling them, most had found someone else.

Ice dams are pain in the ass claims. The good thing is that they usually don't present the "emergency" factor that a broken pipe does. Are you guys removing the snow from the roofs or are you requiring the customer to do it?

What you are experiencing weahter wise is a typical winter up here. We don't get that volume of claims, but I guess homes up here are built a little differently to guard against this. We've had relatively no snow compared to downstate and east of here. Of course, I bought snowmobiles this year thathurts

 

[Al]

Hey Ed,

I have 3 full time techs, one of them is me.

I have several part time people I can call.

We have been clearing the roofs ourselves, up on some pretty crazy roofs, prolly why my back gave out :mrgreen:

Not sure me how we get em done?

I do put them on a list and take the choice jobs
