Show the approved phone route, the losses your company handles, and the areas it serves. Explain how a web request differs from calling the office. Build the page around the actual intake process. The proposed checks below concern communication and delivery. Qualified staff retain decisions about site conditions, access, work methods, and dispatch. ## Choose the first action for a new loss Ask the intake manager which route a new caller should use. Establish whether that route covers water, fire, smoke, and other services equally. Keep unsupported services off the page. Use a plain action label and nearby explanation. Have the manager approve any availability statement. Avoid a banner that promises immediate arrival when the office first reviews the location and available crew. The FTC requires evidence for advertising claims. Treat arrival times, round-the-clock service, and completion promises as facts that need support before publication. [FTC advertising guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-marketing). Put the accepted wording in a shared content record. Identify who can revise it when coverage or staffing changes. ## Keep calls and web requests distinguishable A form and a phone link can share a page while making different promises. State when people review the web queue. Keep the call route visible when that queue is not the intended route for a new urgent loss. Use this proposed page plan to brief the builder: | Page element | What the intake manager supplies | | --- | --- | | Loss types handled | Approved water, fire, smoke, or other service scope | | Coverage | Places where new requests can be reviewed | | Primary contact | Current phone destination and coverage explanation | | Web-request notice | Monitoring schedule and next office step | | Request fields | Details needed for the first staff review | | Confirmation | Accurate receipt wording without a dispatch promise | Do not make claim documents or a full photo inventory a prerequisite for seeing the phone number. Ask the intake manager which information can wait for a confirmed job record. ## Preserve the caller's description For a short web request, propose a property location, callback method, caller relationship to the property, and a description of what happened. Let the visitor identify uncertainty rather than choosing a technical classification. Keep reported facts attributed to the caller. A checkbox should not silently become a confirmed finding about contamination, cause, or the extent of damage. Route technical questions to the qualified person identified by company policy. Use visible field labels and clear required-field instructions. W3C recommends properly associating labels with form controls. [W3C label guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/). Have the office approve what the receiving record needs. Ask the builder to retain the source page and the visitor's original question. Avoid collecting policy documents through an introductory form unless a separate reviewed process requires them. ## Make failure understandable Ask the builder to show a useful message when submission fails. State what the visitor can do next using the approved contact route. Do not display a success message before the implementation has accepted the request. W3C recommends feedback for both submission success and errors, with clear correction instructions. [W3C notification guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/notifications/). Review the phone layout with the keyboard open. Check whether the caller can return to the phone action without losing track of the page. Keep key availability wording beside that action. ## Accept the path at the receiving desk Arrange labeled tests with intake staff. Use fictional loss details and contact information you control. Tell the office that no dispatch is requested. Check a water-loss inquiry and a fire-related inquiry if both services are offered. Compare each received record with the submitted description. Confirm the reply route and the source page. Record who received it and when. Test any separate routing rules individually. Keep unresolved delivery assigned to the responsible person. Distinguish a received request from a confirmed visit in the acceptance record. See the [restoration website overview](/for/restoration-and-water-fire-damage) for the wider service plan.
