Restoration web design
A restoration website for someone standing in an inch of water.
The person on your site has a wet ceiling, a smoky kitchen or a smell in the basement. They want to know three things: can you come now, do you handle this kind of loss, and will you deal with the insurance company.
So the top of every page carries a phone number that dials with a tap and the words that matter: 24-hour response, the towns you cover and how you work with insurance claims.
Under that, each loss gets a page of its own. Water extraction and dry-out. Fire and smoke. Mold. Sewage. Storm. Each one explains what happens on the first visit, how drying or cleaning works and how long it runs, in words a homeowner can follow.
We add your certifications, your equipment and photos from real jobs. Then you review the whole site and approve it before paying anything.
Our website design serviceOn every restoration site we build
- A 24-hour phone line, one tap to call
- Pages for water, fire, smoke, mold, sewage and storm
- How the insurance claim works, step by step
- Certifications and licenses
- Before and after photos from your jobs
- A page for each town you dispatch to
- Reviews that name the loss
AI search for restoration companies
When the basement floods, some people ask AI first. We get it to name you.
The questions come fast after a loss. Is this covered. Can the floor be saved. How long before mold starts. Who can be here tonight. People type them into ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews and get a direct answer.
BrightLocal's 2026 survey found 45% of consumers used an AI tool for local business recommendations, and 40% trust AI platforms for them. Pew Research Center found about a quarter of U.S. adults use a chatbot every day.
When the answer includes a company, it's one the tool can describe: what losses it handles, where it works, whether it answers at night, what customers said.
We write that information into your site in plain words, match it across your listings, and check each month which restoration companies the AI tools named in your area.
- Answers to the first-hour questions
- Pages on what to do before the crew arrives, what drying involves and how claims work, under your name.
- Hours and coverage stated outright
- Round-the-clock response and each town you serve, written where a tool can read it.
- A monthly AI check
- We ask the questions a flooded homeowner asks and report who was recommended.

Restoration companies, counted
Nobody counts restoration companies alone. Here is what the governments do count.
Mold remediation falls under remediation services, along with asbestos, lead and site cleanup. Fire and flood restoration contractors are counted with residential remodelers. Each row is the wider industry or occupation.
| Measure | Figure | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Remediation services businesses with employees, U.S. | 5,826 | 2023 |
| Firms with fewer than five employees | 2,741 | 2023 |
| People employed in remediation services, U.S. | 91,239 | 2023 |
| Residential remodeling firms with employees, U.S. (includes fire and flood restoration) | 135,337 | 2023 |
| Hazardous materials removal worker jobs, U.S. (asbestos, lead, mold) | 52,700 | 2025 |
| Median annual pay, hazardous materials removal workers, U.S. | $49,450 | May 2025 |
| Remediation services businesses with employees, Canada | 480 | June 2026 |
| Remediation businesses in Ontario | 141 | June 2026 |
Remediation firms run larger than most trades: fewer than half have under five employees. You compete with established companies that all want the same first-page spot. Rank by loss type and by town, and you take it one page at a time.

Restoration marketing questions
What restoration owners want to know.
Most of our work comes from insurance programs and plumber referrals. Why add restoration marketing?
Program work comes with someone else's pricing and someone else's rules. A homeowner who finds you directly is your customer. Ranking for water, fire and mold searches adds a second source of jobs that you control.
Which searches will you rank us for?
Water damage restoration first, since it has the volume. Then flood cleanup, sewage backup, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation and storm damage, each paired with the towns you dispatch to. Each gets its own page. How we do local SEO
What's the price, and what's the commitment?
$99/month. Month-to-month. No contract. No setup fee. The website is built for $0 and you approve it before billing starts. Pricing page
We cover six counties. How do you handle a service area that big?
With a page for each town and county you dispatch to, and a Google Business Profile set to the same area. Pages are unlimited in the plan, so the map can be as wide as your trucks go.
Can you get us named by ChatGPT when someone has a flood?
Yes. Getting local companies recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews is part of the plan. For restoration that takes clear pages on each loss type, your hours and coverage stated outright, and reviews that describe the job.
Do you write the technical pages, like drying and mold procedures?
Yes. We draft each page in plain words a homeowner can follow, then you check it. Certifications, the standards you work to and the equipment you run go on the page as you give them to us. Nothing is published until you sign off.
Do we keep our domain and phone numbers?
Yes, both stay yours. We rebuild on your domain and leave your office and dispatch numbers as they are.
