Ask how drying progress is checked
A provider may use moisture meters or other assessment tools and repeat readings during the job. Ask which locations are being checked, what the readings mean and how completion will be determined.
Know what equipment is doing
Air movers and dehumidifiers can be part of a drying plan, but equipment alone does not prove that an area is dry. Ask how equipment placement, noise, power use and daily monitoring will be handled.
Discuss materials and contents
Some items can be dried or cleaned; others may require specialist advice or replacement. Ask the provider to identify assumptions and exclusions before work begins.
Keep the plan in writing
A clear work order should outline the affected areas, planned equipment or services, expected monitoring, charges and how any changed scope will be approved.
