Common questions
- How fast will a restoration pro contact me?
- Most homeowners are connected with an available, vetted crew within minutes. The moment you submit your damage details, we notify qualified pros near you and the first available crew claims your job and calls you directly.
- Why is FastDry free for homeowners?
- FastDry doesn't charge homeowners anything. Verified restoration pros pay a fee only when they connect with a real customer — so we're motivated to match you with someone great, not to sell your information.
- Will my information be shared with multiple companies?
- No. Unlike shared-lead platforms that blast your details to four or five contractors, FastDry matches you with a single vetted pro. One lead, one crew — so you get one call, not a flood of them.
- Is water damage covered by insurance?
- Most water damage is covered by homeowners insurance — many homeowners pay only their deductible. Coverage depends on the cause and your policy. Every FastDry pro works directly with your insurance company and documents your damage for your claim. We help you through the entire claims process.
- Should I use my insurance company's preferred vendor?
- Your insurance company may suggest a vendor — but the choice is always yours. FastDry connects you with an independent, IICRC-certified pro who works for you and documents the full scope of the damage so your claim reflects what your home actually needs. You're free to choose your own licensed contractor for any claim.
- Do I have to file an insurance claim to use FastDry?
- No. Plenty of water damage never becomes a claim — small leaks, losses below your deductible, or jobs you'd rather handle directly. FastDry connects you with a vetted local pro either way. If you do file, we help you through the entire claims process.
- How does FastDry help with my insurance claim?
- Your independent pro documents the full scope of the damage for your claim. Every FastDry pro works directly with your insurance company, and we help you through the entire claims process — so your coverage reflects what your home actually needs.
- How do restoration pros get leads on FastDry?
- Pros claim their business profile for free, then receive instant notifications when a homeowner near them has an emergency. Each lead is pre-qualified for damage type, urgency, and insurance status before it reaches you.
- What does it cost to join FastDry as a pro?
- There's no monthly fee and no contract. Claiming your profile is free, and your first exclusive lead is on us. After that, you only pay for the specific leads you choose to claim.
- What does an 'exclusive lead' mean for contractors?
- When you claim a lead, that homeowner's contact information is yours alone — never shared with competing companies. You're not racing four other contractors to call first. The job is yours.
