Water and fire damage restoration companies · Email marketing

Your plumber list is worth more than any list of homeowners.

Email for a restoration company keeps plumbers, agents and property managers in touch between visits, and brings back the houses you dried but never rebuilt. GullySales writes to each list separately, sends the storm note ahead of the weather, and reports which messages produced a job.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For water and fire damage restoration companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Homeowners do not want a newsletter”

    A family whose basement flooded in March will never read a monthly email. They need one message six weeks later about the rebuild.

  • “The storm email has to arrive before the storm”

    Property managers want to know who to ring when the forecast turns. A note on Wednesday beats ten sent after Friday's burst pipe.

  • “Agents forward what is useful to their own clients”

    Send something an agent can pass on without editing, and your name reaches policyholders you would never have found yourself.

What we do

What we deliver for water and fire damage restoration companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Five lists instead of one

    Plumbers and roofers, insurance agents, property managers, past mitigation customers and finished rebuilds, each written to in its own words.

    Result: The agent stops reading a homeowner's email.

  2. A storm note ready to send on a forecast

    A short message to every property manager and board contact naming the counties you are covering and what to photograph before a crew arrives.

    Result: Managers ring you on Wednesday instead of Friday.

  3. A rebuild follow-up for houses you only dried

    A sequence at six and twelve weeks carrying photographs of a finished reconstruction and an offer to scope theirs.

    Result: Work you already paid to win comes back.

  4. A three-line note to the trades

    What you handled for them last month, what you take after hours, and the next education date, short enough to read on a job site.

    Result: Your name arrives without a visit.

  5. Seasonal reminders that suit the county

    Pipe insulation before the first freeze, sump pump checks before the spring thaw, dryer vent notes before winter, sent to past customers by area.

    Result: Past customers hear from you before the next loss.

  6. Reporting on replies and jobs, not opens

    Which message produced a call, a scope or a signed rebuild, measured against the baseline recorded before the work started.

    Result: A message that has never produced a job is dropped.

How the result is measured

  • Open rate
  • Click rate
  • Enquiries from email

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What must be in place first

What a restoration company needs in place before it emails plumbers, agents and past customers.

Five lists, each with its own source
Keep plumbers, property managers, insurance agents, past customers and builders apart. Note for each person how you met them and which job or visit connects you. One mixed list sends the wrong note to all of them.
Consent from the job, not the claim
A householder you helped after a loss gave details to get the work done. Record whether they agreed to later mail. Never use claim files or an insurer's data to build a marketing list.
A tone that suits a bad week
A person whose house flooded is not browsing. Mail only people who have had time to recover, and write it as a plain follow-up about the unfinished repair, not as an offer.
A sender with a name and a licence number
Show the owner's name, your licence details where your trade requires them, and a postal address. Trades and agents check these before they send you work.
Storm and season notes kept ready, not sent blind
Keep a pre-written note for each risk, such as frozen pipes or heavy rain, and send it only to the area affected. Wrong-area mail looks careless.
An opt-out that stops everything
One unsubscribe link, honoured at once. If a plumber opts out of mail, keep the phone relationship alive and note which channel they still accept.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the email marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your list

    We review who is on the list, how they got there, and how long it has been since they last heard from you.

  2. 2

    Audit past sends

    We check open and click rates from past emails to see what has and has not worked.

  3. 3

    Segment and plan

    The list is split into meaningful groups and a sending calendar is agreed.

  4. 4

    Implement content and automation

    Emails are written, scheduled and, where useful, set to trigger automatically based on behaviour.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track performance and adjust subject lines, timing and content based on what the list responds to.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • Hours that fit your day, agreed up front

    Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

What do we send a plumber every month?
Something short and useful to the reader rather than an advertisement for you. What you took off their hands last month, a reminder of what you handle after hours, and the next education date. Three lines is plenty.
Can we email people whose houses we dried last year?
Yes, about the rebuild, the annual check and the seasonal reminder, where you hold their permission. Keep the claim itself out of it. Anyone who has asked not to be contacted stays off the list permanently.
Is it right to email someone about their house after a fire or flood?
Wait until the repair is done or clearly stalled, and write as a helper, not a seller. A short note about the rebuild they have not finished, with a clear opt-out, is acceptable. A discount mail in the week of the loss is not.
What should a plumber's list look like?
One row per plumber with the firm, the trade, the area, the last job you did together and how they prefer to be contacted. Add only people who have worked with you or asked to hear from you, and review the list when a firm changes hands.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
