Assess

Recognize water categories, drying classes, affected materials, safety issues, source concerns, and the first decisions that shape the job.

02

Map

Track rooms, materials, moisture readings, psychrometric conditions, drying goals, and daily changes with a jobsite documentation mindset.

03

Dry

DryIQ Estimator — Beta

Water damage doesn’t wait for class. Neither does your training.
Learn it at IRI. Bill it with DryIQ.

IRI’s online water restoration certification isn’t a weekend lecture — it’s the flood, simulated. You assess the loss, set containment, map moisture, and write the scope. Then DryIQ rides into the real job: walk the wet rooms, dictate the line items, price every line from federal data in your county, and print an estimate with a source for every number.

Other water courses hand you a certificate and wave goodbye. IRI stays — Hope tutors every module, DryIQ estimates every job. You don’t walk a loss alone.

Bidding federal or FEMA-style flood work? Every line already carries Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, resolved to your county — pricing that’s hard to argue with.

Every new enrollment includes 30 days of DryIQ free — then $49/mo beta pricing, month-to-month.
