How this tool works
Drying time depends on the class of the loss (how much water soaked in), the densest material involved and the category of the water. Carpet and drywall give up moisture fast. Hardwood, cabinets and a concrete slab hold it far longer, and dense materials often need targeted drying.
Under the IICRC S500 standard the drying team logs readings daily and pulls equipment once materials sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference in the same house. Sewage or storm water adds a day for removal and cleaning before drying starts. See water extraction for the first step.
