Jobber for Restoration Contractors: Documenting Water Damage Jobs Properly

John Dutton

Jobber is built for managing restoration and remediation businesses. What it doesn't cover is the field documentation that insurance adjusters need before, during, and after remediation work — and that protects you if a claim is disputed months later.

Why pre-remediation documentation is critical

Once remediation starts, the original damage conditions are gone. The timestamped, GPS-tagged photo record your technician captures on arrival — before touching anything — is the only objective evidence of what the adjuster is reviewing a claim against. See our detailed guide: water damage documentation for restoration contractors.

The Jobber + Manifold restoration workflow

Connect Manifold to Jobber via the Jobber App Marketplace. Your Jobber jobs sync automatically. When your technician arrives on site, they open the job in Manifold and do a complete photo walk before starting work. Every photo is GPS-tagged to the job address and timestamped. See the full Jobber for restoration contractors guide.

Daily moisture logs

Build a moisture reading checklist in Manifold where each monitoring point requires a photo before it can be marked complete. At the end of the drying phase, the complete log is available as a PDF for the adjuster — one tap. See how inspection checklists with required photos create the audit trail adjusters need.

3D damage documentation

For large-area claims, Orbit Measure lets your technician walk the affected space for 60 seconds and get a measurable 3D model — shareable via browser link with the adjuster. See our Manifold for restoration contractors page for more.
