Overnight dispatch, drying logs and claim payments that hold up to scrutiny.

Restoration Contractors IT Services

A restoration company gets paid on documentation, and when the moisture readings, photos or Xactimate estimate for a job go missing, the carrier's reviewer won't take your word for it.

20+ Years Experience

At a glance

Your day runs on overnight emergency calls, a job management system like DASH, Albi or PSA, Encircle or magicplan in the field, and constant email with adjusters and third-party administrators.

We keep those systems up and protect the records your invoices depend on: field devices that crews actually carry, backups for drying logs and photo sets, secure email with carriers, and controls on the claim checks and deductibles criminals try to divert. We support restoration contractors in Texas and nationwide.

IT that keeps crews dispatched, drying logs intact, claims paid in full.

Emergency dispatch, field documentation and carrier billing that stay standing when the next catastrophe hits.

Restoration contractors

The loss happens at night, the audit happens later

Restoration work starts with a panicked call and ends with a desk review months later. In between, your techs extract water, set equipment, log readings every day and photograph everything, while the office works the estimate through the carrier or TPA. If the documentation breaks anywhere along that chain, you end up eating part of the bill.

01 · The pressure

A pipe bursts at 3 a.m. and the clock starts

Your on-call tech needs the job created, the address and the loss details on a phone in minutes. On site, Encircle or magicplan captures sketches and moisture maps, and every day's readings build the drying record. The office turns that into an Xactimate estimate that has to match the carrier's guidelines and survive a desk adjuster's review. When a regional event hits, volume can jump overnight, and every crew is working from the same few systems.

02 · How it breaks

Lost tablets, fake adjusters and diverted checks

A tablet with a week of drying logs gets left at a loss site. A phishing email posing as an adjuster or TPA portal grabs an estimator's password, and the attacker starts reading claim threads. Homeowners receive fake 'updated payment' instructions for their deductible. Insurance checks with multiple payees get intercepted in the mail or the endorsement process gets spoofed by email. And when one estimator account is shared across the team, nobody knows who changed a line item.

Deductibles and claim checks redirected

03 · What we change

Synced field data and locked-down claim money

We put every field phone and tablet under device management with forced sync and remote wipe, so a lost device costs a replacement, not the job file. Estimators get named Xactimate and email accounts with MFA. We back up job management exports, photo sets and drying logs outside the apps. Your domain gets DMARC, and we help you set a clear process for deductible collection and check endorsements, including a call-back rule for any payment change.

04 · The after

Documentation you can stand behind

When a desk reviewer questions day four of a dry-out, you pull the readings and photos in a minute. When a CAT event triples your volume, new techs get a managed phone and a working login the same morning. Homeowners know exactly how you'll ask for their deductible. And when a TPA program or commercial client sends a vendor security questionnaire, you answer it from documented controls rather than hoping nobody follows up.

What We Offer

Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses

Job Management Platform Support

We support the IT around DASH, Albi, PSA and similar restoration platforms: user roles, MFA, integrations with Xactimate, XactAnalysis and accounting, and the phones and PCs they run on. We coordinate with the vendor on product issues and make sure exports of job data exist somewhere other than inside one subscription.

Field Device Management

Phones and tablets carry the sketches, moisture maps and photos that justify every invoice. We enroll them in device management, enforce screen locks and app updates, push Encircle or magicplan, and set up remote lock and wipe. A device left at a loss site becomes a replacement order, not a data incident.

Drying Record and Photo Backup

We back up job photos, moisture logs, sketches, Matterport scans and signed work authorizations outside the apps that created them, with a retention schedule your attorney and accountant set. Restores are tested by pulling a complete closed job, so you know the evidence is there before a reviewer asks for it.

Carrier and TPA Email Security

Your estimators trade estimates and supplements with adjusters and TPA programs all day. We filter lookalike adjuster domains and fake portal login pages, set up MFA on every mailbox, publish DMARC for your domain and train staff to verify portal links and attachment requests before entering credentials.

Claim Payment and Deductible Controls

We help you write a clear payment process for deductibles, multi-payee checks and mortgage-company endorsements, protected mailboxes for that correspondence, and a rule that any change in payment instructions gets confirmed by phone. Customers get a consistent message about how you collect money, so a fake invoice stands out.

After-Hours Phone and Dispatch Reliability

Emergency calls can't hit a dead line. We set up cloud phone systems with call routing to on-call techs and your answering service, cellular failover for the office, and monitoring on the systems that create jobs overnight. If the office internet drops, the phones still reach whoever is on call.

Why Choose LayerLogix?

Serving businesses throughout the Greater Houston area including Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta, Nationwide.

Fewer Disputed Line Items

Complete, backed-up drying records and photo sets give your estimators the evidence to defend every line. Desk reviews and reinspections go faster when you can produce the original documentation instead of rebuilding it from memory.

Ready for CAT Events

A standard device kit and account template let you add techs and project managers quickly when a regional event hits. Every new person gets a managed phone and their own login with only the access their job requires.

Claim Money Lands With You

Protected email, a fixed payment process and verified changes cut down on diverted deductibles and intercepted claim payments. Homeowners and mortgage companies deal with you, not someone imitating you from a lookalike domain registered the week the storm hit.

Stronger Program Relationships

Carriers, TPA programs and commercial property clients increasingly ask vendors about security. Documented controls let you answer those questionnaires accurately and keep your place on the programs that send you steady, repeat work all year.

Our Process

We trace a typical job from the first emergency call through mitigation, documentation, estimating, billing and collections, noting every system and device involved.

We review job management, Xactimate and email accounts for MFA, shared logins and stale access, then fix the highest-risk gaps first.

We enroll field phones and tablets in device management with forced sync, standard apps and remote wipe, plus endpoint protection on office PCs.

We set up backups for photos, drying logs, sketches and job exports, then restore a closed job end to end to confirm it's complete.

We configure DMARC, impersonation filtering and phone routing, and write your deductible and claim check procedure with the office team.

We support staff during business hours with after-hours emergency response for active incidents, and we review access before and after major storm seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do restoration companies need special attention on backups?▼

Because your invoice is only as good as your documentation. Moisture readings, daily logs, photos and sketches support every line item on an Xactimate estimate, and carriers or TPAs may review a job months after you've pulled the equipment. If that data lives only on a tablet or inside a single app subscription, one lost device or lapsed account can wipe out the evidence. We back it up separately, keep it for the period you set and test restores by pulling complete closed jobs.

Can you support Xactimate and our job management software?▼

We support the computers, licensing, accounts, MFA and integrations around Xactimate, XactAnalysis, DASH, Albi, PSA and similar tools. The software vendors still handle product questions such as price lists or estimate formatting. When something breaks, we figure out whether it's the PC, the network, the account or the vendor, and we chase the vendor if needed. We also give each estimator their own login, so you always know who changed what on a job file.

How do criminals target restoration companies?▼

Mostly through claim payments and email. Attackers send phishing messages dressed up as adjusters or TPA portals to steal estimator passwords, then read claim threads and send fake payment instructions to homeowners or mortgage companies. Some register lookalike domains during a big storm and pose as your company. Multi-payee insurance checks also attract fraud. MFA, DMARC on your domain, a published payment process and a strict call-back rule on any change shut down most of these schemes.

What happens when a catastrophe event hits and we need to scale?▼

We plan for it ahead of time. You get a standard field kit, a pre-built account template for each role and a short security briefing for temporary staff. When the event hits, new techs get a managed phone with the right apps and their own login quickly, and contractors from out of town get limited access instead of borrowed credentials. When the surge ends, we run the offboarding list so nobody keeps access to your jobs or customer data after they've gone home.

Do any regulations apply to our documentation?▼

Some can. Work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing falls under the EPA's lead Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, which carries recordkeeping duties. If you accept cards, PCI DSS applies to how you take them. State laws on breach notification and contractor practices also vary. We're not lawyers, so your attorney decides what applies and how long records must be kept. Our job is to make sure the records are captured, protected and retrievable when someone asks for them.

Will our emergency phones keep working if the office loses power or internet?▼

They should, and we design for it. A cloud phone system doesn't depend on hardware in your office, so calls can route to on-call techs' cell phones or your answering service no matter what's happening at the shop. We add cellular failover for the office internet, check that routing rules match your on-call schedule, and monitor the systems that create jobs overnight. We also test the setup before storm season instead of finding out during one.
