Common questions

What People Ask About Drying

How long does structural drying take?

Most jobs take three to five days. Dense materials like hardwood, plaster, and concrete can take a week or longer.

Why can't I just use household fans and a dehumidifier?

Consumer equipment is too weak to dry framing quickly enough to prevent mold.

What does dry standard mean?

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.

What are grains per pound in water damage drying?

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

Is the drying equipment loud?

It is loud and warm. Closing off the drying area helps at night.

Is A Water Damage the drying contractor?

No. We connect you with independent local pros. Confirm their license and insurance before work starts.
