Shoot it before you demo it
Shoot the standing water and the meter reading before anything comes out of that room. Once it is in the dumpster, the carrier has nothing but your word for what was there.
Before-demolition, during-drying and rebuild photos on one job, in order, every one of them dated.

Where Restoration jobs go wrong
The carrier pays for what you photographed
What you did not photograph does not exist to the carrier. Shoot the affected materials and the cut line before demolition, with the date on it, or the estimate gets trimmed to whatever a desk adjuster can see from an office.
Moisture readings live on a meter nobody kept
Shoot the meter against the wall, day by day, all on the one job. Drying logs stop being something typed up on Friday from four techs' memories.
Mitigation and rebuild are two different arguments
The homeowner remembers the house before, and the rebuild crew arrives to studs. One tagged photo set answers both: what came out, and what went back in its place.
Losses start at three in the morning
The first crew on site is working fast and alone. Pick the job, shoot the room, and the photos exist whether or not anyone got to the paperwork that night.
