We want you to thrive, not just survive. Our model was passionately and purposefully created so everyone benefits from using the Umpire platform.
Full-time or Part-time
Full-time
This is our Primary Mitigator that does most Umpire jobs. You commit to taking our jobs for a 3-year agreement, and we honor that commitment by sending most of our jobs to you. This brings stability for both of us. The average income is $131,000 +. You are not an employee or a franchise, and you are free to work other jobs. The perfect setup for transitioning Veterans or employees who are already working in the mitigation industry. This is for the aspiring entrepreneur who wants to be their own boss.
Part-time
Umpire is an additional pipeline of jobs for existing, small owner-operated cleaning businesses that want to fill the gaps in their job schedule. These are our Additional Mitigators.
How a job works

2. Umpire emails you the job. We get a digital work authorization signed by the customer before you go, so everyone's covered.
3. You do the job. You document what you do on the job from the job with 100% photos. You make sure the work is exceptional.
4. Umpire follows up. We contact the customer to make sure they are happy.

Requirements so everyone is happy
To make sure it's the right fit and that everyone is protected, anyone who works with the Umpire platform has to meet the following standards before joining:
Verified reviews or reference
Umpire checks your references or review history. We continue to do this as long as you are on the platform. Your average customer rating must be 4.5 or higher out of 5 stars. The bottom line is: you need to be customer friendly and communicate well with the customer while you are on the job.
Pass background checks
Umpire pays for the background check that you must pass every year. Major driving violations or a recent history of minor driving violations may result in disqualification. Convictions for felonies, violent crimes, sexual offenses, and registered sex offender status, among other types of criminal records, are also disqualifying.
Lift equipment
Dehumidifiers are the most substantial piece of drying equipment; you must be able to lift 65lbs.

What Umpire provides
Umpire provides experienced, real-world, online, and hands-on training at no cost to you.
Umpire supplies the drying equipment: Moisture meter, flood pumper, fans, and dehumidifiers to use on our jobs. You don't have to take out a loan or spend your own money to buy and maintain equipment.
No need to go to an office; we designed our platform with a 100% mobile focus. Everything gets done in the field.
Umpire delivers dependable support 24/7.You can ask our industry experts questions about any job at any time. We are always here to help.
We understand structure and help you organize for success. This is what Umpire is all about.
What you provide
You need to have the essential tools: iPhone or Android phone, buckets, screwdriver, carpet knife, pry bar, hammer, etc...
You need a vehicle - one that can tow a trailer or fit the equipment inside. The Umpire model has used Subaru Foresters successfully. The car doesn't have to be a truck because technology has made the drying equipment smaller.
Team Testimonial
"I have worked with Umpire for years now. Honestly, the experience has been amazing. I was working for a company full time, but after receiving a steady flow of jobs from Umpire I ended up leaving my previous job. I finally had the confidence to break out and start my own company as an Umpire team. Payment is on time and really good money. My goal is to keep learning, make happy customers and continue growing."
