StormCTRL Book a demo

For water, fire and mold restoration companies

Prove every line. Get paid.

Your crew sends photos from the job with a link. StormCTRL puts a photo behind every line on your estimate and builds a clean packet for your adjuster. Less to argue about. Fewer nights on paperwork.

Built: photos by link, Xactimate PDF import, invoices and payment links. In build: matching photos to estimate lines, the adjuster packet. Coming soon: photos by text, the crew app.

Example of one estimate line.

A sample water job with its estimate lines listed. Most lines have a photo. One line is open with three suggested photos to attach.
Sample data. Every estimate line and the photos behind it. This screen is in build.

You did the work. Now prove it.

  • The adjuster cuts a line because there is no photo.

    The work got done. You just can’t show it, so it comes out of your pocket.

  • The photos are on six different phones.

    Somebody spends the night digging through texts and camera rolls to build the report.

  • The job wrapped weeks ago and the check still isn’t here.

    Nobody is sure what the carrier is waiting on, or which job to chase first.

Three steps. Nothing new for your crew to learn.

  1. Your crew sends photos

    They tap a link and send photos. No app to download. No login. The photos go to the right job. Texting photos to your StormCTRL number is coming with our first shops.

  2. Every line gets a photo

    Upload the estimate you wrote in Xactimate. StormCTRL reads the lines. Matching your photos to each line, so you see which ones are thin, is in build.

  3. Send it and get paid

    Send the invoice with a link to pay. See who owes you and how long it has been. The packet for your adjuster is in build.

A sample job, start to finish.

These are real screens with made-up jobs. No customer data.

Every job and what it is waiting on

One board for all your open jobs. See what is stuck and how long it has sat.

A job board with sample jobs in columns by stage, counts of how old the jobs are, and a colored bar showing how long jobs have waited.
Sample data. Real screen from the app build.

One job on one page

Dates, money, people and everything that has happened on the loss.

A job page for a sample water loss with key dates, totals and open to-dos.
Sample data. Real screen from the app build.

Ask a question, get the answer

Type “which invoices are more than 60 days out?” and get the list.

A question box open over the job board. The question asks which invoiced jobs have been outstanding more than 60 days, and three jobs are listed.
Sample data. Real screen from the app build. The answer shown is a canned example.

What your crew sees

A link opens on any phone. It lists the photos the job still needs. They shoot and send. No app.

Sample data. Real page from the app build, shown in the brand font.
A phone page with an Add a photo form and a checklist where two of four required photos are done.

What you get

  • Every photo on the right job

    Crew photos come in by link and file under the job on their own. Texting is coming. They are saved the moment they arrive. The screen for browsing all of a job’s photos is in build.

  • Your Xactimate estimate, read for you

    Upload the estimate PDF. StormCTRL pulls out the lines. You keep writing estimates in Xactimate.

  • Know which lines will get cut before you send In build

    Each line shows proven, thin or none. Fix the thin ones while the crew is still on site.

  • A packet that is hard to argue with In build

    One clean file for your adjuster with a photo behind every line.

  • Invoices and payment links

    Send the invoice with a link to pay. See every dollar you are owed across all your jobs, and how long it has been out.

  • Every job and what it is waiting on

    One board for the whole shop. Jobs that have sat too long stand out.

  • Ask a question, get the answer

    CTRL is the assistant built into StormCTRL. Ask about your jobs in plain English. It can also draft a follow-up for you. Nothing sends until you OK it.

What your adjuster gets

One packet. Every line on the estimate, with the photo that shows the work was done. This part is in build.

  • Water extractionProven
  • Dry-out equipmentProven
  • Baseboard removalThin

Example layout. Not a real packet.

Thin lines flagged before it goes out In build

You will see which lines have no photo before your adjuster does.

Every photo logged when it arrives

StormCTRL records when each photo came in. Photos sent through the link also record where they were taken.

One truck or ten crews.

The same four things hold at any size.

No app for subs

Subs and helpers send photos with a link. Nothing to install.

Works from a phone

If your guys can tap a link and take a photo, they can use it.

No training day

The crew taps a link and takes photos. The office learns it in one sitting.

Your photos stay yours

Ask and we export every job and photo, free.

Running a truck or two

  • You are on jobs all day. Photos come in without you asking for them.
  • The invoice goes out the day you finish, with a way to pay.
  • Nothing to set up on anybody’s phone.

Running several crews and an office

  • Every crew gets the same list of required photos, so the job looks the same no matter who ran it.
  • Owners, PMs and office staff each get their own login. PMs see their jobs. You see all of them.
  • Money owed across every job on one screen, so the office knows who to call first.
  • Doing carrier program work? The required-photo list keeps crews shooting what the program asks for.

Your jobs. Your call.

Your jobs stay yours

Want your jobs and photos out? Ask and you get all of them. A one-click export button is in build.

Private to your company

No other company can see your jobs, photos or customers.

Nothing goes out until you OK it

Every message to an adjuster or homeowner waits for someone at your shop to approve it. Packets will work the same way.

No AI training on your jobs

We don’t train AI on your jobs or photos, and we don’t let AI companies do it either. The assistant only runs on your jobs under a written agreement that the AI company keeps none of it.

Straight answers

Does it work with Xactimate?

Yes. Write the estimate in Xactimate like you do now, then upload the PDF. StormCTRL reads the lines. Reading the ESX file directly is in build. StormCTRL does not write estimates.

Do my guys need to download an app?

No. They tap a link and send photos. Texting photos to a phone number is coming with our first shops. A crew app is coming for shops that want one.

What if I already use CompanyCam?

Keep it if it works for you. CompanyCam is a good photo app. StormCTRL does a different job: it is built around your estimate and getting paid on it. Matching photos to estimate lines is in build. Your crew can send the photos that matter with a StormCTRL link. An import from CompanyCam is planned. It is not built yet.

Do I have to replace the job software I already have?

No. You can run StormCTRL next to it for photos, proof and getting paid.

We run several crews and an office. Is this too small for us?

No. Owners, PMs and office staff each get their own login. PMs see their own jobs and owners see everything. What is not built yet: scheduling, moisture and drying logs, and QuickBooks sync. If you need those today, keep what you use for them.

How much is it?

Talk to us. We are setting prices with our first shops now.

Is my data safe?

No other company can see your jobs. Nothing is sent to an adjuster or homeowner until you OK it. We don’t train AI on your jobs or photos. Card payments run through Stripe, so card numbers never touch StormCTRL.

How long does it take to set up?

We set it up with you on a call. The one slow part is your text number. Phone carriers have to approve it, and that can take a few weeks. We start it on day one.

See it on a sample job.

Fifteen minutes. We walk one job from the first photo to the invoice.
