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, heart pine, plaster and crawl-space framing are Class 4 materials that dry slowest. Chapel Hill 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.
