Waterproofing Quotes Don't Close Themselves. Foreman Chases Them Until They Do.
A homeowner gets a basement waterproofing or French drain estimate, means to think it over, and never hears from you again. The job goes to the next contractor who followed up. Your crew is on installs all day — systematic follow-up on every open quote simply doesn't happen. Foreman chases every estimate and every new lead automatically, by text and email, until you get a yes, a no, or a reschedule. It's an AI follow-up worker we build and run for your waterproofing business.
Waterproofing and basement remediation jobs are high-ticket and high-consideration — the average residential job runs $3,500–$12,000. Industry follow-up data shows that 80% of sales require 5+ follow-up contacts, while most contractors make one attempt and stop. A systematic follow-up system on a 20-quote/month pipeline can close 3–5 additional jobs per month that silence would have lost.

A basement waterproofing job that was never followed up didn't go to a cheaper competitor — it went to whoever called back.
- 01Basement waterproofing, French drain, and sump pump jobs are high-consideration purchases. Homeowners need a nudge — not a lower price — to move forward.
- 02Your waterproofing crew is on installs, exterior excavations, and crawl space work. There's no one tracking which estimates are still open and which need a second contact.
- 03A web or Google lead comes in, gets a call or email, and sits for days before anyone follows up a second time. By then, the homeowner has moved on.
- 04An open basement waterproofing quote is a $3,000–$15,000 job sitting in your pipeline that one follow-up text could close. Without a system, it just sits.
- 05There's no clear view of which estimates are open, which have been contacted once, and which have gone completely cold — so revenue is leaking invisibly.
Live in days, not months.

New leads get an instant reply that sounds like your company and moves toward scheduling an estimate — fast response without your crew stopping work.
Chase
Every sent estimate enters a follow-up sequence: branded text and email contacts spaced to feel helpful, not pushy — until the homeowner makes a decision.
Hand off
When a homeowner is ready to move forward, Foreman hands your team a warm, decided lead with the full context — so you just confirm and schedule the install.
Every waterproofing quote and every new lead gets worked until it's decided.
- Open estimates chased automatically on a multi-touch cadence — basement waterproofing, French drain, crawl space encapsulation, and sump pump jobs all get followed up.
- New leads replied to instantly so speed-to-lead is handled even when your team is mid-install and unavailable.
- A clear view of which quotes are open, which have been contacted, and which have responded — so nothing falls through the cracks.
- More jobs closed from the same number of estimates — because the ones that went cold were just waiting for someone to follow up.
- You own the follow-up worker we build and run. It works every lead while you're in the field.
