Most restoration companies pull equipment on a fixed schedule — three days, done — not a verified one. Here's the comparative dry-standard method we use to prove it, not guess it.

The homeowner has no way to know whether that's actually true — until moisture shows up behind a wall six months later.
On a recent multi-day mitigation job in Atlanta, a comparison bathroom in the same home served as the dry reference. Two monitored points in the affected bathroom were tracked daily against that baseline:
| Point | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Point 5 | 999 (saturated) | 999 | 680 | 143 |
| Point 6 | 999 (saturated) | 224 | 150 | 143 |
Equipment was projected to be done by day 3. The readings didn't support that — so it stayed in place through day 4, confirmed with direct probe testing rather than the non-invasive scan alone. Only once both points matched the reference bathroom's baseline was drying declared complete.
Client details withheld for privacy. This is real field data from a Clear Point job, not an illustrative example.
Every job Clear Point runs is tracked against this same standard — the report below is the package that comes out of it, whether you're filing an insurance claim or just want proof the job was done right.
An unaffected reference area in your own home, established on day one — not a generic number pulled from an industry chart.
The same physical points checked every visit, so the drying curve is a real trend, not a rough estimate.
Non-invasive scans find the elevated area fast; direct probe testing confirms the real number before anything is called dry.
Final readings at every monitored point, referenced against the baseline, with timestamped photos — the package your adjuster or a future inspector would want to see.
Full on-site assessment, comparative baseline, daily monitoring, and signed dry-out certification — everything that proves your home is actually dry.
