The drying documentation challenge
Water damage restoration lives and dies on documentation. Carriers question drylog entries, dispute moisture 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 everything in real time. The iOS app captures photos organized by room, timestamped to the minute, with GPS coordinates embedded. Your team sees the inspection as it happens on the web dashboard.
AI finds damage you might miss. The Damage Intelligence Engine™ reviews every photograph and identifies water intrusion patterns, fire damage, smoke staining, and mold indicators — tied to the exact photo that supports each finding.
Remote Moisture Meter™ integration. On SCOPE and above, moisture readings sync directly into the claim package with timestamps and GPS verification. The automatic drylog becomes part of the certified record — not a spreadsheet filled in after the fact.
Workflow for water, fire, and mold jobs
- Arrive and capture — Photograph every affected area. LiDAR scan rooms for precise dimensions. Record video walkthroughs with AI Walkthrough™.
- Monitor drying — Remote Moisture Meter™ readings sync automatically. Drylog updates in real time.
- 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.
