When water damage has occurred, water can be absorbed into drywall, baseboards, sub-flooring, etc. Drying these surfaces requires air movers and dehumidifiers for removing this excess moisture to help mitigate the property and create efficient drying conditions. Please do not turn off or move drying equipment without first calling our team.
Drying time is determined by a combination of factors, including the location, duration and source of water, the types of building materials, and how quickly emergency services begin. Your carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no rules to determine how long your property will take to dry, we can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.
Proper testing with our specialized equipment is the correct way to determine if things are completely dry. Touch alone may be a false indicator.
