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.
- How much does FastDry cost homeowners?
- FastDry is completely free for homeowners. You describe what happened, we dispatch one vetted local pro, and we help guide your insurance claim — at no cost to you.
- 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.
- Should I use my insurance company's preferred vendor?
- That's always your choice — but it helps to understand the dynamic. A "preferred vendor" has an ongoing relationship with the insurer to maintain, which can create pressure to keep a claim small. An independent, IICRC-certified restoration pro works for you: they document 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 can help guide your claim and document the damage.
- How does FastDry help with my insurance claim?
- Your independent pro documents the full scope of the damage, and we help guide your claim end to end — understanding your coverage and working with your adjuster — so your coverage reflects what your home actually needs, with minimal paperwork stress.
- 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.
