How drying is judged

Drying time for water damage in the township

Class 1 through 4

The class of loss describes how much water the materials absorbed. It sets how many air movers and dehumidifiers a room needs and how long they run.

Humid summers, damp basements

South Jersey summers are humid, and basement air stays damp below grade. LGR dehumidifiers pull that moisture out so materials keep drying.

The drying goal

IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard. Wet materials are dried until they read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material in the same home.

More on the equipment and readings on the structural drying page.

FAQ

Drying Time Estimator questions

Q01

Why can't the equipment come out when the floor feels dry?

Framing, subfloor and drywall hold water after surfaces feel dry. Readings decide, so equipment stays until materials match the dry reference.
Q02

Does a humid summer really slow drying?

Yes. Damp air pulls less water out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside the containment so evaporation keeps going.
Q03

Why does a basement slab or block wall take longer?

Concrete and block are dense and release water slowly. They often need LGR or desiccant dehumidifiers and more days than drywall or carpet.
Q04

Does a delay change the drying time?

Yes. Water that sits soaks deeper, and contaminated water adds removal and cleaning before drying even starts.
Q05

Is a contained loss really dry in a few days?

A contained Class 1 loss usually dries in three to five days when drying starts quickly. Bigger and denser losses take longer.
