Dryout & Mitigation Documentation
How to document emergency mitigation, drying, demo, cleaning, and related services.
Helpful Mitigation Records
- Mitigation company estimate or invoice with itemized quantities, dates, equipment, labor, and rooms/areas serviced.
- Moisture readings, drying logs, equipment placement maps, and photos.
- Before/during/after photos showing floodwater impact, demo, cleaning, and drying efforts.
- Clear separation of flood-related mitigation from unrelated cleaning, maintenance, or remodeling.
Equipment Documentation
- List each air mover, dehumidifier, HEPA/air scrubber, extraction unit, generator, or other equipment used.
- Show the dates each item was used and where it was placed.
- Keep the scope tied to flood-damaged building materials and the affected areas.
Avoid These Problems
- Invoices with only a lump sum and no quantities.
- Charges for areas not affected by floodwater.
- Work performed after covered materials were already removed without explanation.
