How this estimate works
Drying time depends mostly on the material and how saturated it is. Tile and vinyl give water up fastest, drywall and framing take longer, and hardwood and concrete slabs are slowest because moisture has to travel through dense material. Bigger wet areas add time, and a cool, rainy stretch slows evaporation unless the dehumidifiers keep up.
The drying goal is not a date on a calendar. The drying team compares daily readings with a dry reference in an unaffected room and pulls equipment once wet materials read within 2 to 4 points of it. Wood floors have their own process, covered on the hardwood floor water damage page.
