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, plaster, a wet slab and crawl space framing take longer.
Humid summer air slows evaporation, so the drying team closes the house and leans on dehumidifiers. 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 humid weather slow drying?
Air that already holds a lot of moisture takes up less from wet materials, so the drying team keeps windows shut and runs LGR dehumidifiers to pull the air down.
When does equipment come out?
When daily readings show materials within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference, not on a set date.
Should I run my own AC during a dry-out?
Usually yes, if the system was not part of the leak. The drying team decides how the AC fits with the dehumidifiers after the walkthrough.
