How to Create and Manage Chambers in Drybook?

What are Chambers?

Chambers represent logical zones or areas within a property. They group rooms that share similar drying conditions.

     

Examples of chambers:

• Downstairs Area
• Upstairs Area
• Basement
• Garage

Chambers help break large properties into manageable sections and allow readings and equipment to be tracked accurately.

 

Creating a Chamber

To create a chamber:

1. Open Chambers
2. Tap the Add (+) icon

      

      3.  Enter:

1. • Chamber name
   • Temperature
   • Relative humidity

     4.  Select a Chamber Class

 

 

Chamber Classes Eg. Water Damage (Class 1–4)

Chamber classes describe the severity of water damage:

• Class 1: Minimal water damage, limited absorption
• Class 2: Significant absorption into carpet and structural materials
• Class 3: Water has affected walls, ceilings, insulation
• Class 4: Specialty drying required (brick, concrete, stone)

Selecting the correct class is important for:

• Proper drying strategy
• Equipment planning
• Insurance documentation

 

 

What are Rooms?

Rooms exist inside chambers and represent individual physical spaces.

Examples:

• Living room
• Kitchen
• Bedroom
• Bathroom

Rooms allow data to be tied to specific locations, making documentation precise.

2. Tap Create Room

     

      3.  Enter:

1. • Room name
   • Room notes (optional)

       4.  Add photos if needed

 

 

 

Room Layouts

Room layouts are used to document room dimensions and shape, which helps calculate drying needs.

Quick Layout

• Enter length, width, and height
• Automatically calculates:
  • Surface area
  • Volume
• Best for standard rectangular rooms
• This can be converted to a sketch 

Sketch

• Manually draw the room layout
• Adjust wall lengths visually
• Best for irregular or complex spaces

You can convert between Quick Layout and Sketch if needed.
