1

Leak Report Capture

Customer submits emergency leak report via web form, phone system, or mobile app, providing property details, leak location, severity indicators, and contact preferences. System validates information and creates investigation request record.

2

Priority Assessment

Automation evaluates leak urgency based on water volume, interior damage, business/residential status, and weather conditions. Assigns priority level (emergency, urgent, standard) that determines scheduling timeframe and technician response requirements.

3

Technician Matching

System analyzes available inspectors within service radius, checking current schedule, skill certifications, equipment on-hand, and travel time. Selects optimal technician based on expertise match, proximity, and response time optimization.

4

Appointment Creation

Automatically generates investigation appointment with estimated arrival window, blocks technician calendar, and creates job record containing property address, leak details, customer contact information, and recommended inspection protocols.

5

Customer Notification

Sends immediate confirmation to customer via SMS and email including assigned technician name/photo, estimated arrival time, contact number, and preparation instructions. Provides tracking link for real-time technician location updates.

6

Technician Dispatch

Delivers comprehensive job package to field technician including navigation to property, leak location photos/descriptions, roof type and age, previous service history, required equipment checklist, and safety considerations. Updates technician mobile app with priority status.

7

Pre-Arrival Updates

Sends automated reminder to customer 30 minutes before arrival window. Technician can update ETA if running late, triggering immediate customer notification. System tracks acknowledgment and reschedules if customer becomes unavailable.

8

Investigation Documentation

Technician completes inspection using mobile app to capture photos, videos, moisture readings, and damage assessment. System automatically generates preliminary report, creates estimate request, and schedules follow-up based on findings and customer preferences.

How It Works

Transform your roofing leak investigation process with intelligent scheduling automation. When customers report water intrusion or roof leaks, the system instantly evaluates technician availability, skill level, and proximity to automatically schedule investigations. Customers receive immediate confirmation with technician details and estimated arrival times, while field teams get dispatched with comprehensive property information, leak location data, and recommended inspection protocols. This automation eliminates manual scheduling bottlenecks during peak storm seasons, ensures urgent leak calls receive priority response, and maintains consistent communication throughout the investigation process. By connecting your customer intake system with scheduling tools and technician management platforms, you reduce response times from hours to minutes while optimizing technician routes and preventing scheduling conflicts.

The Trigger

Activates when a customer submits a roof leak report through your website form, phone system, or emergency hotline indicating water intrusion requiring immediate investigation.

The Action

System evaluates available technicians based on location, expertise, and current schedule, automatically assigns the optimal inspector, creates the appointment, sends customer confirmation with ETA, and dispatches technician with property details and leak information.
