Stop Wasting Time on Job Sites: How Remote Monitoring is Transforming the Restoration Industry

The restoration industry is rapidly evolving. With increasing demands from insurance carriers, tighter deadlines, and a growing emphasis on efficiency, restoration professionals need innovative tools to stay ahead. Remote monitoring and field documentation have emerged as game-changing solutions, empowering restoration companies to streamline operations, save costs, and deliver superior results.


At Clean Claims, we’re revolutionizing how restoration professionals like you handle day-to-day challenges. Here’s how remote monitoring can transform your operations and boost your bottom line.


What is Remote Monitoring in Restoration?


Remote monitoring is a cutting-edge solution that enables you to track and document environmental conditions on job sites without being physically present. By deploying advanced tools like thermal hygrometers and moisture meters, you can:


  • Monitor ambient conditions in real-time.

  • Track moisture levels in materials and structures.

  • Streamline field documentation, saving time and improving accuracy.


This technology isn’t just convenient—it’s a competitive edge in today’s restoration market.


Why Remote Monitoring is a Must-Have


Restoration professionals are facing rising demands for data-driven decision-making. Remote monitoring helps you meet these demands while addressing common challenges such as labor shortages, increasing fuel costs, and time-intensive site visits. Here’s how:


1. Save Time and Money


Traditional moisture monitoring often requires daily site visits, costing your company time and fuel. With remote monitoring, you can:


  • Collect accurate data without leaving the office.

  • Reduce technician hours spent on manual readings.

  • Eliminate unnecessary trips, cutting fuel expenses.


For example, Clean Claims’ monitoring solutions reduce costs by allowing you to track site conditions remotely, ensuring your team only visits when necessary.


2. Boost Efficiency


Technicians appreciate tools that make their jobs easier. Remote monitoring empowers your team to:


  • Stay focused on high-value tasks.

  • Monitor hard-to-access areas, such as crawl spaces, without revisiting.

  • Automatically record data, reducing human error.


As one client said, “I don’t have to crawl into that nasty crawl space anymore, and I still get the readings I need!”


3. Enhance Trust with Insurance Adjusters


Clear, consistent documentation builds trust. Remote monitoring generates detailed, timestamped reports that you can share with adjusters and clients. This data-driven approach makes it easier to justify drying times, equipment use, or demolition decisions.


Remote Monitoring is a Billable Item


Implementing remote monitoring doesn’t just improve efficiency—it’s a profit center. In fact, many restoration companies bill for remote monitoring as part of their services. Here’s how:


Billing with Xactimate


Remote monitoring is a recognized line item in Xactimate:


Wi-Fi hub: Bill $30-$50/day depending on your region.

Sensors: Bill $55-$75/day for up to 10 sensors.


By incorporating remote monitoring into your estimates, you can recoup your investment quickly—often within one or two jobs.


Improve Profit Margins


Beyond direct billing, remote monitoring saves on:


  • Labor costs: Fewer site visits mean reduced technician hours.

  • Operational expenses: Lower fuel and vehicle wear-and-tear.
