Drying Documentation for Insurance Claims
This page covers the service of compiling the documentation pack. If you only want to know which records you will receive, see the claims documentation overview under the insurance hub.
Drying documentation records what was found, what was done and how the drying decision developed. It can help the policyholder, insurer, loss adjuster or claims handler understand the affected areas, equipment, monitoring and changes to the scope.
The documents are factual contractor records. They do not determine policy cover, liability, settlement or whether every cost is payable.
Initial assessment information
This may include incident details, photographs, affected materials, recorded readings, visible damage, immediate mitigation and recommended next steps.
Progress and equipment records
Monitoring updates can show repeat readings, equipment installed or removed, access issues, unexpected findings and reasons for changes to the programme.
Completion information
A completion summary explains the monitored positions, relevant comparative information, equipment removal and any limitations or remaining repair requirements. It is not a warranty that every concealed part of the building is free from moisture.
