Save time and money on this job

  • Time: Water pass proof when the inspector or GC asks same day.
  • Money: Dust violations and rework beat per-pass lite fees.
  • Habit: Spray pattern and road edge every pass.

Nightmare avoided

PM10 complaint Friday

What goes wrong: Neighbor video of dust cloud Thursday. County emails GC Friday. GC forwards to you with no-show language. No pass photos with timestamps.

What receipts change: Pass proof on finish Thursday with road context.

Dinucci v. Lis (Ohio Ct. App. 2005)

Simplified outcome: Site condition evidence weighed on discrete claims.

Yard lesson: Prove the specific service day regulators ask about.

Dust vendors hear you were not on site the week of the complaint. County photos show dry road. Your driver remembers two passes with no customer send.

Dust lane volume pricing assumes many passes with proof still affordable.

Entry, spray, and exit in one dated packet ends most callback spirals.

Dust lane timestamps water passes and haul road control on active grading.
