Equipment comes out when readings match a dry reference material, not on a set date.
Why drying takes as long as it does
IICRC S500 sets the goal: wet materials are dry when they read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material in the same building. A contained Class 1 loss usually gets there in three to five days; hardwood, stone and a wet concrete slab take longer.
Starting late adds days because water has time to wick into drywall, framing and the slab. Structural drying explains the equipment, and the cost calculator shows how drying time feeds the bill.
Drying Time Estimator questions
Can drying go faster with more fans?
Only to a point. Air movers and dehumidifiers are sized to the room's class of loss; extra fans without enough dehumidification just move wet air around.
Why does a slab floor take longer?
Concrete holds a lot of water and gives it up slowly, and flooring over it slows evaporation further, so readings take longer to reach the goal.
When does equipment come out?
When daily readings show materials within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference, not on a set date.
Does the coastal air slow drying?
Damp marine air and winter storms raise indoor humidity, so the drying team closes the space and relies on dehumidifiers rather than open windows.
