Large Loss Disaster Moisture Mapping & Monitoring
Front-end documentation and continuous monitoring for large-scale water intrusion events — engineered to support contractors and adjusters from first response through final drying verification.
We deploy fast, document everything, and give you the defensible data needed to settle large-loss moisture claims accurately.
Why Large-Loss Moisture Jobs Fail
Most claim disputes on large commercial water losses come down to one thing: a lack of systematic, third-party documentation from the start.
Underdocumented Scope
Without systematic moisture mapping from day one, contractors miss affected areas — leading to supplement disputes, scope creep, and delayed payments.
No Drying Verification
Carriers increasingly require daily psychrometric data and moisture readings to validate equipment placement and drying progress. Without it, claims get denied.
Multi-Floor Complexity
Large commercial losses span dozens of rooms, floors, and material assemblies. A single technician with a notepad won't cut it. You need systematic, defensible data.
Dispute-Ready Documentation
When insurers push back on mitigation costs, your contractor needs third-party documentation that stands up to scrutiny — not just internal job notes.
Front-End Response. Independent Documentation. Contractor Support.
CDS deploys to large-loss water events as an independent third-party documentation specialist — not as a remediator, not as a carrier advocate. We're the neutral documentation layer that supports the contractor's mitigation while giving the adjuster confidence in every line of scope.
From the moment we arrive, we begin systematic moisture mapping of all affected areas: walls, ceilings, flooring assemblies, mechanical spaces, and building cavities. Every reading is logged, every affected material is charted, and every thermal anomaly is documented.
Then we stay — through the entire drying cycle — monitoring progress, verifying equipment effectiveness, and delivering the kind of daily documentation that protects both the contractor's billing and the adjuster's file.
The Tools We Use
We leverage industry-leading technology to capture, document, and deliver moisture data that holds up under carrier scrutiny.
CleanClaims
Cloud-based moisture documentation and reporting platform used to capture, organize, and deliver real-time moisture data to all stakeholders.
Tramex Moisture Meters
Non-invasive and pin-type meters providing accurate moisture content readings across concrete, wood, drywall, and specialty assemblies.
Kahi (Drywall Sensor Technology)
Wireless in-wall sensors that monitor moisture levels inside wall cavities continuously — eliminating the need for daily technician visits on sensor-equipped jobs.
FLIR Thermal Cameras
Level II certified infrared thermography to detect hidden moisture migration behind finished surfaces without destructive investigation.
Psychrometric Data Loggers
Continuous temperature, humidity, and dew point tracking throughout the drying period — providing defensible proof of equipment performance.
Drone + Aerial Thermal
For large roofs and multi-structure events, drone-mounted radiometric thermal cameras identify subsurface moisture across tens of thousands of square feet.
Two Ways to Monitor. Both Defensible.
Depending on the scope, duration, and complexity of the loss, CDS offers sensor-based remote monitoring or technician-based field monitoring — or a hybrid of both.
Sensor-Based Remote Monitoring
Continuous, Automated Data Collection
Wireless sensors are placed throughout the loss structure — inside walls, under flooring, and in ambient air — capturing moisture and environmental readings every few minutes. Data is transmitted to a cloud dashboard accessible in real time by the adjuster, contractor, and CDS.
- 24/7 continuous data — no gaps between technician visits
- Alerts triggered when readings indicate stalled drying or new moisture
- Eliminates daily site visits on straightforward jobs
- Provides irrefutable timestamped drying verification
- Reduces contractor labor costs on long-duration jobs
Best For
Multi-week drying jobs, remote locations, high-value claims requiring continuous verification
Technician-Based Monitoring
Hands-On, Daily Field Presence
CDS technicians visit the loss site on a scheduled basis — daily, every other day, or as needed — to take moisture readings, document equipment performance, photograph conditions, and update the moisture map. All data is entered in real time into CleanClaims.
- Direct observation of drying progress and any new issues
- Equipment repositioning recommendations in real time
- Interaction with on-site contractors for coordination
- Psychrometric readings at every chamber and affected zone
- Signed, dated field reports for every visit
Best For
Complex material assemblies, early-stage CAT events, jobs requiring active scope management

Built for the Professionals Managing Large Loss
Large Loss Contractors
You're managing the mitigation — crews, equipment, subcontractors, timelines. CDS takes documentation off your plate entirely. We arrive, we map, we monitor, and we deliver the reports your billing team needs to get paid.
- Third-party validation of your scope
- Daily monitoring reports you can share with the carrier
- Documentation that protects your invoices
- CleanClaims integration for seamless reporting
Large Loss Adjusters
You need confidence in the scope and drying documentation before authorizing large mitigation invoices. CDS provides independent, third-party verification you can rely on — from initial moisture mapping through final drying certification.
- Independent scope verification — not from the contractor
- Real-time access to drying data and progress
- Dispute-ready documentation for file review
- Nationwide deployment capability for multi-site CAT events
