What types of restoration training does IRI offer?

IRI offers certification courses in water, mold, fire, flood, and disaster estimation restoration — all AI‑enhanced and online.

Can I complete the restoration training courses online?

Yes. All IRI certification courses are 100% online, mobile-friendly, and self‑paced, so you can train while working or traveling.

Are your courses backed by AI tools?

Yes. Every course includes built‑in, 24/7 AI tutor support to assist you during training and jobsite reference.

How long does a course typically take to complete?

Most students finish each certification in about 30–40 hours. You can study at your pace with no expiration.

Can I enroll without previous experience?

No. A minimum of one year of experience in restoration or a related field that supports restoration work, such as construction, cleaning, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, property adjusting, property management, building maintenance, pest control, or similar field work, is required to enroll in any IRI certification.

Why do restoration contractors actually get trained?

Training certificates help, but to keep the lights on you need real work processes. Contractors get trained to work with the insurance adjusters, banks, property management and customers with confidence — and the training that pays is the one that teaches the work process and documentation systems.

Are insurance adjusters, banks, and property management built on compliance?

Yes. Insurance adjusters, banks, property management are built on compliance. If you do not document the process carefully, any restoration company will have its bill handed back. They will ask for detailed documentation before issuing any payments, and it does not end there — there is a pile of documents that will be required, or the payment process will slow down or could cease in some circumstances.

Why are the successful restoration divisions in your city busy?

It comes down to the work process and documentation systems. When a restoration contractor has its work process and documentation systems in order, the project claims and bills flow into the existing compliance system. When the compliance system is working, the adjusters and companies start calling you direct — you have just made their lives easier.

How does documentation eliminate billing arguments with customers?

Work processes and documentation systems eliminate the need to debate a bill. The answers are there before an arguable issue happens, so a restoration contractor does not waste time arguing with the customer.

What does a restoration work process include?

A restoration workflow runs from the first day on the job to the final bill: a daily logger, moisture mapping, a drying log, signed customer forms, and a line-item estimate — building a file that answers before the argument does. IRI training includes these documentation systems and field tools with the course.

Is the cleanup the hardest part of a restoration job?

No — ask anyone who has run the work: disaster cleanup is sometimes the easy part. The hard part is everything around it — the documentation, the compliance file, and the back-and-forth that decides whether the bill gets paid. Work processes and documentation systems take care of that part: the answers are there before an arguable issue happens.

DryIQ Field Tool · included with enrollment

Moisture Mapper

Map every reading. Document every room.

The DryIQ Moisture Mapper turns a water-loss walkthrough into an adjuster-ready map — rooms, walls, moisture pins, drying equipment, the drying math, and a printable PDF report. Dictate the loss and Hope builds the map with you; you approve every action.

DryIQ Moisture Mapper — Hope proposing map actions for approval

Watch Hope build the map — hands free

One dictated loss becomes a full map: room, walls, door, window, moisture pin, air movers, dehumidifier. Hope proposes each action as a card — you tap Approve. Nothing lands on the map without you.

Everything a water-loss walkthrough needs

Built for the field, priced for the crew: the Moisture Mapper is one of the AI field tools included with every IRI certification.

Rooms, walls, doors, windows

Draw the floor plan per level — room labels and square footage computed automatically, with snapping openings.

Moisture & photo pins

Log MC %, RH, GPP, dew point and EMC per room, plus photo pins — with units, on every floor.

Equipment placement

Place air movers, LGR and dehumidifiers with CFM, pints/day, amps and circuit assignment computed for you.

Built-in calculators

GPP, dew point, grain depression, EMC, circuit load, generator sizing and air-changes/volume — no spreadsheet.

Multi-floor projects

Levels, layers, grid, zoom and pan, undo/redo — whole buildings, not just one room.

Hope co-pilot — hands free

Dictate the loss; Hope proposes rooms, walls, openings, readings and equipment as approve-cards. You approve, it lands on the map.

Import & export

Project JSON, PNG map, rooms/pins/equipment CSV, and job photos in; everything out as JSON, PNG or CSV.

Print-ready PDF report

Cover page, map image, per-room readings and equipment list, with tech and customer signature blocks — the proof-sheet adjusters ask for.

12 languages, mobile-ready

Full interface translation and a phone-first layout, so the crew runs it from a phone on the jobsite.

Walk it. Say it. Approve it. Print it.

1 · Dictate the loss. "Living room 20 by 26, door south, window west, pin at 28% MC in the NE corner, two air movers and a dehumidifier."

2 · Approve Hope's proposals. Each room, wall, pin and unit arrives as its own card. One tap to apply — or dismiss.

3 · Print the adjuster-ready PDF. Cover, map image, per-room readings, equipment list, tech and customer signatures.

Moisture Mapper questions

What is the DryIQ Moisture Mapper?

A jobsite field tool that turns a water-loss walkthrough into a documented map: rooms, walls, doors and windows, moisture pins with MC, RH, GPP, dew point and EMC readings, photo pins, drying equipment placement, and a printable PDF report for owners and adjusters.

Is the Moisture Mapper free?

Yes — the field tools, including the Moisture Mapper, are included free with every IRI certification enrollment. No separate subscription is required for the field tools.

Does Hope draw the map by itself?

Hope proposes — you approve. Dictate the loss and Hope proposes rooms, walls, openings, moisture readings and equipment as individual cards; each lands on the map only when you tap Approve. Hands-free, but the worker stays in control.

What moisture readings can I log?

Moisture content (MC %), relative humidity (RH), grains per pound (GPP), dew point, and EMC, plus photo pins — per room, with units, on every floor level.

Can I import or export data?

Yes — project JSON, PNG map images, rooms/pins/equipment CSVs and job photos import in; everything exports as JSON, PNG or CSV, and the report prints to PDF with tech and customer signature blocks.

Is it available in other languages and on my phone?

The mapper ships in 12 languages with a mobile-first layout, so the crew can run it from a phone on the jobsite.

Get certified. The tools come with you.

Every IRI certification includes the Moisture Mapper and the rest of the DryIQ field tools — 12 languages, mobile-ready, free.
