How this tool works
Drying time follows the material and how saturated it is. Slab and tile give water up fastest, drywall and framing take longer, and hardwood and plaster are slowest. A contained Class 1 loss usually dries in three to five days.
Piedmont summers are humid, so outside air adds moisture instead of removing it, and a cold crawl space dries slowly in winter. That is why the drying team works to readings: equipment comes out when wet materials sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference, as the structural drying page explains.
