Real-world usage of DMO|DMODUMP<
Appears in 24 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 71 of 550 converted customer scopes. Usage is measured from real claim documents, never estimated. How this is measured.
How it's written in real claims
From 30 line items across 24 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Dumpster load - Approx. 12 yards, 1-3 tons of debris”21 lines
- “Dumpster, 10 Yard”6 lines
- “Dumpster - Approx. 12 yds, 1-3 ton of debris”2 lines
- “Dumpster 12yd”1 line
Dominant unit of measure: EA — used in 93% of samples.

What it is
DMO|DMODUMP< is a Demolition (DMO) Xactimate SEL code measured in each (EA).
ESXPress’s reference documents DMO|DMODUMP<. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 30 line items written against this code — 28 of them (93.3%) measured in EA, and 2 line items in LO.
The code appears in 24 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 6.7%) and in 8 of the 61 converted customer scopes.
When to use it
Use DMO|DMODUMP< when the scope calls for this code — Demolition work measured in each (EA). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 21 of the 30 observed line items (70.0%) were written as “Dumpster load - Approx. 12 yards, 1-3 tons of debris”.
The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Tear off composition shingles (RFG|RFGARMVN) — the same scopes, 9 times, lift 4.25. It also appears alongside Carpet (FCC|FCCAV, 4 scopes) and Floor protection (PNT|PNTMASKSF>, 5 scopes).
DMO|DMODUMP< is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Dumpster, 10 Yard” (6 of 30 line items, 20.0%). Spelling, spacing, and qualifiers vary between adjusters — which is why ESXPress normalises act text when mapping scopes.
How to use it
Measure the work in EA: 28 of the 30 observed line items (93.3%) used EA and 2 in LO. The unitAsUsed analysis puts EA at a 93.3% share, making it the safe unit for conversion.
The most common line text is “Dumpster load - Approx. 12 yards, 1-3 tons of debris” (21 of the 30 sampled lines, 70.0%). Estimators also write “Dumpster, 10 Yard” (6 lines, 20.0%).
ESXPress’s Completeness Advisor has no rule that references this code, so its usage evidence is purely observational: 24 scopes and 30 line items.
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as DMO|DMODUMP< — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5. Second, other frequently used Demolition (DMO) category codes, ranked by how often they appear in the analysed scopes. Descriptions are from the ESXPress code reference.
Real-world examples
Each example is an anonymised line from a processed claim scope: the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters wrote, with the observed line-item count. The count is line frequency across the analysed samples — never a price and never a quantity from a specific claim.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Dumpster load - Approx. 12 yards, 1-3 tons of debris”, EA, qty 21.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Dumpster, 10 Yard”, EA, qty 6.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Dumpster 12yd”, EA, qty 1.
