Is DryIQ good for storm chasing and CAT work?

Yes. DryIQ is built for volume: walk the loss, dictate the scope, approve priced lines, print the proof sheet — every line sourced from federal data so the number survives any adjuster.

Can I cancel in the off-season?

Yes — month-to-month, no contract, cancel anytime and reactivate when the radar lights up. Your projects export to a file you keep.

How much does DryIQ cost?

$49/month during beta, month-to-month. A 3-month storm season costs $147 total; Xactimate Pro lists at $350/month per user ($1,050 for the same window).

Which certification should a storm chaser get?

Water Restoration Specialist (WRS) is the entry most crews need; add Fire (FRS) if you chase fire losses, or the all-course bundle for the full range.

The storm doesn’t wait. Neither does the invoice.

CAT work is volume: fifty homes, one week, hand-written scopes and guessed prices. DryIQ is built for it — walk the loss, dictate the scope, approve Hope’s priced lines, print the proof sheet. Every line sourced from BLS materials and SAM Davis-Bacon wages, county by county, so the number survives whatever adjuster sees it. And it’s month-to-month — the tool costs nothing in the off-season because you cancel.

Your ticket in

One year in construction, restoration, or a related field qualifies you. WRS for water, FRS for fire, or the all-course bundle if you chase everything.
