FAQ

Structural Drying Questions Answered

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

Household units move far less air and cannot reach the low humidity levels needed to pull moisture out of framing and subfloors. Drying slowly also gives mold time to grow.

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.

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

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

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the drying.
