How Do I Document Site Conditions in DryBook?

This article explains how to use the Site section in DryBook to document general loss conditions, building details, unaffected areas, and site notes. It also covers adding site photos and explains how these images are stored for reporting and documentation.

 Site

The Site section is where you document general information about the loss location and overall conditions. It forms the foundation of your drying documentation.

1.1 Editing Site Information

Click Edit in the Site section to open the site information form (usually on the right side of the screen).

Here you can record:

  • Outside Conditions
    • Outside temperature
    • Outside humidity (if available)
    • Weather conditions (e.g., rainy, humid, dry, cold, hot)

  • Building Information
    • Building type (e.g., single-family home, apartment, commercial)
    • Construction notes (e.g., slab foundation, crawlspace, finished basement)
    • Number of levels or floors (if applicable)

  • Building Envelope
    • Door and window conditions
    • Openings to exterior
    • Areas where air exchange may be happening
    • Any structural elements that may affect drying

  • Unaffected Areas
    • Parts of the property that are not affected by the loss
    • Example: “Second floor is unaffected; only main level and basement show moisture.”

  • General Site Notes
    • Source of loss (e.g., burst pipe, roof leak, appliance failure)
    • Estimated duration of water exposure
    • Safety concerns (e.g., mold suspicion, electrical hazards)
    • Anything else relevant to the drying strategy

Click Save after entering or updating this information.

💡 Tip: This section is helpful when explaining to adjusters or clients what the situation looked like at the start of mitigation.


 

1.2 Site Notes

On the right-hand side, you can click Add Note to create additional narrative notes related to the site.



 

1.3 Site Images

  • You can add site photos by clicking an Upload button.

  • Drag-and-drop or browse to upload photos
  • Add tags to categorize images (e.g., “Kitchen Day 1,” “Living Room Before Demo”)

Images are important for:

  • Showing before/after conditions
  • Proving extent of damage
  • Supporting the scope of work and equipment use

 

Note:

All images uploaded within the Drybook will automatically be saved to the “Drybook” folder in the project’s File Manager tab, making them easy to locate and manage later.
