Class 1 through 4
The class of loss describes how much water the materials absorbed. It sets how many air movers and dehumidifiers a room needs and how long they run.
Slab and second floor
A concrete slab releases water slowly, and a ceiling under an upstairs laundry hides wet insulation and joists. Both add days that surface checks miss.
The drying goal
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard. Wet materials are dried until they read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material in the same home.

(888) 450-9281 Put meters on the wet roomsWhy can't the equipment come out when the floor feels dry?
Framing, subfloor and drywall hold water after surfaces feel dry. Readings decide, so equipment stays until materials match the dry reference.
Do the gray late-spring mornings slow drying?
Damp outdoor air carries less drying power, so windows stay closed and LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside the containment instead.
Why does a concrete slab take longer?
Concrete is dense and gives up water slowly. After a slab leak it often needs desiccant or LGR dehumidifiers and more days than drywall or carpet.
Does a delay change the drying time?
Yes. Water that sits soaks deeper, and contaminated water adds removal and cleaning before drying even starts.
Is a contained 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.
Still wet a day later? Get the drying set up now.
Drying time shrinks when extraction and equipment start early. The drying team sets up as soon as it is called.
