How this tool works
Drying time depends mostly on the IICRC class of the loss, which describes how much water the materials absorbed. A small Class 1 loss dries in about three to five days; oak strip floors, plaster and block cellar walls, which are Class 4 materials, take longer and often need desiccant dehumidifiers.
Sewage and storm water add time because contaminated materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected before drying. Cellars and basement units dry slower than upper floors. Whatever the estimate, the drying team pulls equipment only when readings reach the dry reference. For costs, try the water damage cost calculator.
