What a night call sounds like
Water through the ceiling
An active leak during rain is flagged for tonight. Afterly texts the address and what room is wet. It does not send a tarp crew.
A leak that just started
The caller can see a new stain or dripping. Afterly takes the name, address, and where the water is, and marks it tonight rather than voicemail.
A reroof estimate
A quote for a new roof, even after a storm, waits until morning. Afterly does not price the job or book an inspection slot.
Flagged for tonight
- Water through the ceiling
- Active leak in the rain
- A drip that just started
Left for morning
- Reroof estimate
- Missing shingle, no leak inside
- Gutter question
