Identify the equipment and work
Ask the provider to name the equipment proposed, where it will sit and which affected materials the plan addresses. Confirm whether delivery, setup, removal, power arrangements or monitoring are separate items. Equipment quantity alone does not establish the right scope or duration. Ask how the proposal relates to the inspection findings and the occupied areas of your home.
Clarify the billing period
Ask when daily charging starts and ends, whether partial days are charged and how extra days are authorized. Confirm what a monitoring visit includes and how findings are communicated. A fixed estimate with defined work is different from daily equipment charges with an allowance. Read those terms before comparing the totals from different proposals.
Ask how progress is recorded
Ask which observations or measurements support continuing or ending the work and who keeps the records. EPA guidance calls for drying walls and floors before refinishing; it does not promise a certain number of rental days. If more wet material is discovered, ask how the new scope and charges will be presented for approval.
Plan the next contractor’s handoff
Confirm whether rebuilding, material replacement and contents handling are excluded and who receives the drying records. Keep invoices and approved changes together. For a structural-drying assessment, describe the material assembly and ask for monitoring and equipment terms in writing so your decision reflects the work, rather than a daily price in isolation.
Prepare the relevant assessment
Request written equipment and monitoring terms for the affected materials.
