Planning estimate only, based on typical Charlotte water losses. The real figure comes from an on-site moisture map by the restoration team.

How this estimate works

Drying time depends mostly on the material and how saturated it is. Tile and sealed concrete give up water fastest; drywall and carpet take longer; hardwood, plaster and crawl-space framing are Class 4 materials that dry slowest. Charlotte summer humidity adds time, which is why rooms are kept closed and dehumidified instead of opened up.

Most crews do not pull equipment on a date. They stop when the wet materials read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material in the same house. See structural drying for the full process.
