This is a planning estimate based on typical Rochester, MI water losses, not a quote. Every loss is judged on site with a moisture map.

How drying time is estimated

Drying time depends on the densest material that got wet, the class of the loss, how long the water sat and the air conditions. Drywall and carpet give up water quickly; hardwood, plaster and a concrete basement slab hold it much longer. Humid summer air and spring thaw conditions slow evaporation, while a heated house in winter often dries well once LGR dehumidifiers are running.

  • A contained Class 1 or 2 loss usually dries in three to five days.
  • Class 4 losses in hardwood, plaster or concrete often need desiccant dehumidifiers and more time.
  • The drying team logs readings daily and ends the job when wet materials sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
