Defending the Drying Scope on Water Losses

Who this is for

Public adjusters and independent adjusters who handle water losses and are tired of desk reviews that cut air movers, dehumidifiers, and drying days off a mitigation scope that was done correctly.

The problem

Reviewers cut what the file does not prove. When the drying record is a final invoice and a few photos, every machine and every day is arguable, and the cut usually arrives as a flat percentage that ignores what actually happened in the structure. The fix is not louder arguing. It is a file built from day one around baselines, daily readings, and equipment math tied to the industry drying standard, so the cut has to argue with data instead of with you.
