At a glance

Use this guide when

You are handling storm, fire, or water damage restoration funded by homeowner property insurance claims and adjusters.

Best practice

Record detailed before-and-after photo logs and date-stamped moisture meter readings before commencing any demolition work.

Watch for

Performing extra work without signed insurance supplement authorizations can lead to unpaid insurance carrier disputes.

01

Structure insurance claims and damage scopes

  1. Navigate to Claims in the job file and input the insurance carrier, policy claim number, policyholder deductible, and assigned adjuster details.
  2. Document the date of loss and cause of damage (wind/hail storm, pipe freeze/burst, electrical fire, water backup).
  3. Map code-required restoration items alongside standard repair scopes.
02

Compile timestamped photo evidence and moisture logs

  • Geotagged Damage Photos: Upload high-resolution photos of damaged shingles, siding, drywall, and structural framing with automated date/time stamps.
  • Drone & Aerial Intel: Integrate aerial roof pitch and square measurements directly into the damage report.
  • Moisture & Meter Logs: Record drying chamber readings and equipment logs for water mitigation compliance.
03

Export branded PDF adjuster packets & supplemental invoices

Generate professional adjuster packets formatted with itemized line items, photographic evidence sheets, and local municipal building code citations. When unexpected sub-surface rot or damage is discovered, issue supplemental change orders for adjuster approval.

Completion check

Confirm before moving on

Use these checks to make sure the dashboard and the real-world workflow agree.

  • The claim number, policy provider, deductible, and adjuster contacts are saved.
  • Timestamped damage photos and moisture readings are attached to the claim.
  • A standardized adjuster evidence packet or supplemental quote has been generated.

Troubleshooting

When the workflow doesn’t look right

Adjuster disputes a supplemental change order.

Export the timestamped change order log with before-and-after photo attachments from the Claims tab.

Deductible payment needs separate tracking.

Record the homeowner deductible collection separately from carrier progress payments in the job billing ledger.
