The Complete Guide to IICRC-Compliant Drying Documentation

Why Documentation Matters

Proper drying documentation is not just about compliance -- it directly impacts your ability to collect full payment from insurance companies.

What Adjusters Look For

Insurance adjusters want to see a clear timeline of your drying process, including daily moisture readings, equipment placement records, and environmental conditions.

Key Documentation Elements

• 1. **Initial Assessment**: Moisture mapping of affected areas with readings
• 2. **Equipment Placement**: What equipment was placed where, and when
• 3. **Daily Monitoring**: Psychrometric readings showing temperature, humidity, and GPP
• 4. **Progress Tracking**: How moisture levels changed over time
• 5. **Final Verification**: Dry standard confirmation with final readings

Common Mistakes

• Inconsistent reading times
• Missing environmental data
• No equipment placement records
• Incomplete final documentation

How Technology Helps

Modern platforms can automate most of this documentation, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and reports are generated in the format adjusters expect.
