An excavation answering service for calls you can't take from the cab.
Both hands on the joysticks, tracks moving, and a phone you cannot hear. Risacare answers every call you miss with a short greeting and your booking link, sent from your own number.
Why excavation contractors pick Risacare
A machine is a no-phone zone
Noise, vibration and both hands committed. The text back doesn't need you to hear anything.
Site visits book themselves
The caller taps your link and picks a slot on your connected calendar.
Big tickets shopped fast
Clearing and dig work gets quoted by several contractors the same week. First reply gets on site first.
$79/mo flat
No percentage of a dig, no per-lead fee, same price every month.
Equipment noise buries the phone
Running a dozer, excavator, or skid steer means you can't hear a ring, let alone step away to answer. Calls stack up in voicemail until you're back in the truck.
Some calls are genuinely time-sensitive
Drainage problems, storm cleanup, and washouts don't wait well. A caller dealing with standing water or erosion wants to know someone is coming, not just that a message was left.
Excavation FAQ
Can it price a dig or a clear?
No. It sends a greeting and a booking link. Access, spoil, rock and haul-off all need eyes on the site.
Do utility-locate questions get handled?
No. Locates are a legal step and a text has no business touching them — that's your process.
Can it tell me the acreage?
Only if the caller mentions it in a reply. Risacare never asks.
What if the job needs a site visit before I can quote it?
The text-back message can let the caller know you'll be in touch to schedule a walkthrough or site visit, so they're not expecting an instant quote by text.
Does it ask the caller questions or qualify the job?
No. Risacare doesn't interview anyone — the caller hears a short greeting and gets a text with your booking link. Qualifying still happens when you call back. Nothing pretends to be a receptionist.
Does it sync with my dispatch or field software?
No. Replies land in your Risacare leads with the caller's number and you get an alert; you enter the job into whatever you already use. We'd rather say that plainly than sell an integration that doesn't exist.
