How this estimate works
Drying time depends mostly on the material and how saturated it is. Vinyl and tile over concrete give water up fastest, drywall and framing take longer, and hardwood and plaster are the slowest because moisture has to travel through dense material. Bigger wet areas add time, and a cool, damp Auburn winter slows evaporation unless the dehumidifiers keep up.
The drying goal is not a date on a calendar. The drying team compares daily readings against a dry reference material in an unaffected part of the same house and pulls equipment once wet materials read within 2 to 4 points of it. Water under the house has its own process, covered on the crawl space water damage page.
