A practical drying log checklist.

A drying log should help another person follow the sequence of observations and work. This checklist is about record quality; it does not prescribe drying targets, equipment sizing or treatment.

Before recording a new visit

Open the correct job and review the previous entry. Keep the same room and point names so the next set of observations can be understood in context.

  • Confirm job and property identifiers.
  • Record the visit date and the person attending.
  • Review outstanding observations and access restrictions.

At the measurement point

Capture enough context to interpret the value later. Use notes where a structured field does not capture an important limitation.

  • Identify the room, material and measurement location.
  • Record the reading with its units or scale and relevant meter context.
  • Record environmental observations and any change in method.
  • Explain a missed or inaccessible location rather than silently omitting it.

Before completing the visit

Connect the observations to the work carried out. Check the record saved before relying on it for a handover.

  • Note equipment or setup changes and the work performed.
  • Add contextual photos where useful.
  • State unresolved items for the next attendance.
  • Review for inconsistent labels, dates or units.
