LienGuard™

Lien protection for restoration contractors

Every deadline.Every dollar.

LienGuard tracks every pre-lien and lien deadline on your water, fire and mold jobs, keeps court-ready evidence, and makes it easy for homeowners to pay you.

The problem

The job is done. The money isn’t.

The homeowner keeps the check

Insurance pays the owner, and the money never reaches you.

The lender sits on it

The check is made out to the mortgage company too, and it waits for weeks.

The bill gets disputed

The owner or insurer questions the work, and you have to prove it.

Your protection runs on a clock

A lien protects you, but only if every date is met

20 daysto file the pre-lien after you start work
180 daysto record the lien after completion, or 90 after an owner’s notice
30 daysto serve the owner a copy after recording
180 daysto file suit to enforce after recording

Miss one date, and your lien rights can be gone for good.

Evidence vault

Proof that holds up

Photos are captured in the app, fingerprinted and time-stamped, so no one can claim they were edited. As AI makes fake images easy, that matters.

  • Verified photos: damage, drying, repair
  • Moisture readings and drying logs
  • IICRC S500 documentation checklist
  • One-click case packet for your attorney

Homeowner portal

The owner sees progress, signs documents, views every filing and pays the balance online.

Insurance check tracking

See who the check is made out to and how long the mortgage company has held it.

Reminders that escalate

A friendly reminder, then a deadline notice, then a formal notice of intent to lien.
