Do I need drying logs?

Yes, for every day you billed. The S500 dries to a goal, not a day count, and the daily readings are the evidence for each day of equipment. Without them, days are the first thing cut.

Can you help before the invoice goes out?

That is the best time. Writing the invoice in Xactimate with the basis attached means fewer reductions to argue later.

For water mitigation contractors

Mitigation Invoices That Hold Up

Program reviews and TPAs cut mitigation invoices in two places: the equipment count and the number of days. We rewrite the invoice in Xactimate® with the IICRC S500 basis for each line and tie every billed day to the drying log.
