Xactimate Code DRY|DRYPATCHLF — Drywall

What it is

DRY|DRYPATCHLF is a Drywall (DRY) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in linear feet (LF).

ESXPress’s reference documents DRY|DRYPATCHLF. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 27 line items written against this code — 25 of them (92.6%) measured in LF, and 2 line items in SF.

The code appears in 21 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 5.9%).

When to use it

Use DRY|DRYPATCHLF when the scope calls for this code — Drywall work measured in linear feet (LF). Across processed scopes, 12 of the 27 observed line items (44.4%) were written as “Drywall - repair - 1/2"”.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Carpet (FCC|FCCAV) — the same scopes, 7 times, lift 14.13. It also appears alongside Final cleaning (CLN|CLNFINALR, 12 scopes) and Seal w/latex based stain blocker (PNT|PNTS, 7 scopes).

DRY|DRYPATCHLF is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Drywall tape joint/repair - per LF” (4 of 27 line items, 14.8%). 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 LF: 25 of the 27 observed line items (92.6%) used LF and 2 in SF. The unitAsUsed analysis puts LF at a 92.6% share, making it the safe unit for conversion.

The most common line text is “Drywall - repair - 1/2"” (12 of the 27 sampled lines, 44.4%).

ESXPress’s Completeness Advisor has no rule that references this code, so its usage evidence is purely observational: 21 scopes and 27 line items.

Often used together

Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as DRY|DRYPATCHLF — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5.

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: “Drywall - repair - 1/2"”, LF, qty 12.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Drywall tape joint/repair - per LF”, LF, qty 4.
