Why can't the equipment come out when the floor feels dry?
Framing, subfloor and plaster hold water after surfaces feel dry. Readings decide, so equipment stays until materials match a dry reference in the same home.
Why do plaster walls take longer than drywall?
Plaster over wood lath is dense and thick. It releases water slowly and often needs LGR dehumidifiers and more days than modern drywall.
Does a humid summer slow drying?
Yes. Damp air pulls less water out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside the work area so evaporation keeps going.
Why does a basement slab take so long?
Concrete is dense and also sits against damp soil. It often needs dehumidifiers running for days after the carpet and drywall are done.
Is a small 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.
