Water mitigation and restoration contractors are constantly searching for unique ways to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive industry. Contractors serving the insurance industry understand that saving as much of the structure as they can and reducing property damage claim cost wins repeat business.
Using Water Event Manager (WEM) to validate projects confirms that the restoration contractor is one of the most efficient and accurate providers in the industry.
Differentiation through Water Event Manager
LTS’ newest service offering assists contractors in setting up a mitigation project
from the very beginning. If the recommendations are followed, vendors have the
ability to print and provide our final report validating equipment
usage.
WEM evaluates the structural drying plan and validates the equipment, process, and drying time based on data entered into the program.
WEM provides intelligent recommendations based on actual drying science and the most current industry standards and guidelines, including the ANSI-approved IICRC S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration (IICRC S500). Mitigation contractors also gain the competitive advantage of having invoices created by Xactimate® pricing software, the industry leader in unit cost estimating.
Water Event Manager uses the following industry standards and guidelines:
- IICRC S500
- The Laws of Thermodynamics
- The Science of Psychrometry
- The Applied Science of Drying
Accurate Targeted Duration
According to IICRC S500, a building is dry when structural materials and contents return to predetermined drying goals. In addition to third party validation, WEM provides targeted project duration information after the restoration contractor’s initial site visit. With this data, the contractor can generate an estimate that helps set the project reserve.
