Get Paid for Water Restoration
Apr 6-8, 2026 EST
Why This Course is Unmissable?
This two-day course teaches estimators how to leverage the S500, applicable laws and regulations, and Xactimate to strengthen negotiations with adjusters and improve profitability.
Designed to bridge the gap between the field and the office, the training establishes a clear communication strategy so estimators can gain alignment with decision-makers when they have the most leverage. Attendees will also uncover commonly missed Xactimate line items that directly impact job profitability and overall company performance.
This training is the first part of the 3 day Get Paid for Water Restoration Series, designed so each role attends only the days relevant to them. No wasted time and no off-topic training. The result? A fully aligned company that works smarter, supports proper scope, and gets paid faster and more consistently.

What Time Zone Are the Classes in?
All classes, In-Person and Livestream, are held in eastern standard time, EST, unless otherwise specified.
Will I Need to Bring Any Tools?
WRT/ASD: No tools are needed. You are welcome to bring your own meters if you wish. However, we will provide everything that is needed for class. Since you will at times be learning in the flooded house, we recommend work-appropriate clothing.
Estimating and Negotiating Combo: You will need to bring a laptop with Xactimate already downloaded on the laptop.
Will I Need to Bring a Laptop?
For Hands-On Courses (WRT/ASD): You do not need to bring a computer.
For Estimating and Negotiating and our Estimating and Negotiating Plus Courses, we highly recommend you bring a laptop with Xactimate installed on it. We also recommend you bring a tablet, if at all possible, for use during the Xactimate Mobile training portion of this course.
How Do I Register for an IICRC Exam?
Before the course starts you will need to login to the IICRC Website by clicking here to pay and register for the exam. We recommend you doing this as soon as you pay for your livestream course.
Since Reets Drying Academy Does Not Collect IICRC Exam Fees, When and How Do I Pay Them?
IICRC exam fees are paid directly to the IICRC when the exam are administered. Please bring a check or credit card for each exam. Exam fees are as follows:
WRT/ASD $160
WRT only $80
ASD only $80
AMRT $150
How long does it take to get my exam results?
Reets Drying Academy has nothing to do with getting the results of your exam back. You can check on the IICRC website by clicking here. You can also contact the IICRC’s customer service department via their chat box on their site.
How Many CEC Hours Do I Need to Get to Keep My Certification Valid?
In order to get IICRC certified, you must attend an IICRC accredited course and then pass the IICRC exam related to the course you took.
How does the pricing of this course work?
The best option is to purchase a package that will train your entire company. A new owner can choose to just take the 4 day course on their own. If a company has multiple levels of production, select the multi-employee package. You can purchase up to 5 or 10 employees and put them through just the days of training that pertains to their role. Or they can take all 4 days of the training (although that isn’t recommended).
Who should attend this course?
- Technicians, lead techs, and project managers should attend Day 1, focused on field-level documentation and communication. They don’t need to sit through estimating or reporting content.
- Estimators attend Days 2–3, where the focus is on building strong scopes, mastering Xactimate, and negotiating effectively. While some production topics are touched on for alignment, the emphasis stays on estimating.
- Owner/operators may choose to attend all 4 days to develop or refine company-wide SOPs.
