Drying is engineering, not guesswork. Equipment is sized to the loss and monitored daily until the readings say it is done.
Equipment calculated from affected area, water class, and materials.
Readings taken and logged every day, not estimated at the end.
Injection drying for walls, mat systems for hardwood.
Drying continues until readings meet the established drying target, with results recorded in the moisture log.
Household fans move air but do not remove moisture from it. Without dehumidification you relocate water rather than remove it.
Moisture readings meet an established dry standard, usually benchmarked against unaffected material in the same building.
Please don't. Drying works on continuous airflow — switching equipment off overnight can add days.
