Common questions

Structural Drying Questions Answered

Typically three to five days, longer for hardwood, plaster, or concrete.

Dry standard is the normal moisture reading of the same type of material in an unaffected part of the home. Drying is complete when wet materials match it.

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.
