The drying documentation challenge
Water damage restoration lives and dies on documentation. Carriers question timelines, dispute readings, and challenge scope line items — not because the work was wrong, but because the evidence was not organized, timestamped, or verifiable.
How Estimatics changes restoration documentation
Capture in the field. The iOS app captures photos organized by room, timestamped, with GPS coordinates embedded. Your team sees updates on the web dashboard through near-real-time sync.
AI flags damage for your review. The Damage Intelligence Engine™ reviews your photographs and flags water intrusion patterns, fire damage, smoke staining, and mold indicators — each tied to the photo that supports it.
Workflow for water, fire, and mold jobs
- Arrive and capture — Photograph each affected area. LiDAR scan rooms for precise dimensions. Record video walkthroughs with AI Walkthrough™.
- Generate scope — AI Scope Generation™ produces line items from your damage findings. Regional Pricing Engine™ adds local rates.
- Deliver — Export a professional damage report or Quick Estimate PDF. Share via link or download.
