Water-mitigation records for qualifying DFW losses
Dry Logs and Moisture Mapping for Water Damage
Dry logs and moisture mapping organize the affected areas, relevant readings, equipment use, drying progress, and job decisions during a qualifying water-mitigation project.
IICRC Certified Firm #256624 | Water-Mitigation Documentation | Dallas–Fort Worth
This documentation is part of an accepted water-mitigation scope. It is not a stand-alone mold assessment, an insurance-coverage decision, or a promise to recreate records for work Share did not perform.
What a Water-Mitigation Record Can Organize
The actual loss and authorized scope determine which records are appropriate.
Moisture Readings
Record relevant readings, locations, dates, and material context so progress is tied to the actual affected area.
Equipment Placement
Document the drying equipment used, placement notes, meaningful changes, and the period included in the job record.
Drying Progress
Organize progress checks and job observations without promising that every material or condition follows the same timeline.
Photos and Notes
Connect visible conditions, affected materials, source-control facts, access constraints, and meaningful job changes.
Completion Evidence
Preserve the relevant readings, work notes, equipment records, and affected-area decisions available when the mitigation scope ends.
Documentation Has Clear Boundaries
A dry log supports the physical mitigation record; it does not replace a regulated assessment, trade repair, or coverage decision.
- It is not stand-alone mold testing or mold assessment. Texas-regulated mold work requires the appropriate licensed role and project boundaries.
- It does not repair the water source. Plumbing, roofing, appliance, utility, or other source repair stays with the appropriate trade.
- It does not guarantee a drying time or result. Materials, assemblies, access, contamination, weather, source control, and other site conditions affect the plan.
- It does not determine insurance coverage. The insurer and policy decide coverage; Share documents relevant physical-loss and mitigation facts.
- Share does not fabricate or backdate readings. Records must reflect the work and observations actually performed.
When to Contact Share
Start with the current physical water loss, not a request for paperwork alone.
- Confirm safety and source-control status. Use emergency services, utilities, or the appropriate source-repair trade first when the property is unsafe or water is still entering.
- Identify affected rooms and materials. Describe standing water, visible wet materials, suspected hidden travel, contamination concerns, and when the loss occurred.
- Confirm authority and DFW location. Identify the owner, authorized tenant, manager, facilities contact, or other person who can approve access and work.
- Confirm mitigation fit and availability. Share reviews safe access, current crew availability, service-area fit, and the restoration scope before accepting dispatch.
- Document the accepted work. The job record follows the actual mitigation plan, observations, readings, equipment, progress, and decisions.

Dry-Log and Moisture-Mapping FAQs
What is a dry log?
A dry log organizes relevant dates, affected areas, readings, equipment notes, drying progress, and job observations during an accepted water-mitigation project.
Is moisture mapping the same as mold testing?
No. Moisture mapping supports a water-mitigation record. It is not stand-alone mold assessment, laboratory sampling, or mold remediation.
Can Share create a dry log for work another company performed?
Share does not fabricate, backdate, or certify readings and work it did not perform. Any available documentation must accurately identify its source and scope.
Does a dry log guarantee insurance payment?
No. Documentation can organize relevant mitigation facts, but the insurer and policy determine coverage and payment.
What should I provide when reporting a current loss?
Provide the DFW ZIP code, loss timing, source-control status, affected rooms and materials, standing-water or sewage conditions, safety concerns, and the authorized contact.
