FAQ

Common Structural Drying Questions

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

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.

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.

GPP is a measure of moisture in the air. Lower GPP means faster drying.

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. We connect you with independent local pros. Confirm their license and insurance before work starts.
