FAQ

What People Ask About Drying

Most jobs take three to five days. Dense materials like hardwood, plaster, and concrete can take a week or longer.

Household units move far less air and cannot reach the low humidity levels needed to pull moisture out of framing and subfloors. Drying slowly also gives mold time to grow.

It is the baseline moisture reading of dry materials in your house. Wet materials are dried until they match.

Grains per pound, or GPP, measures how much water vapor is in the air. Lowering GPP in the drying area speeds evaporation from wet materials.

Yes. Air movers and dehumidifiers are noisy and add heat. Most people can stay home, but you may want to close doors to the drying area at night.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the drying.
