How this tool works
Drying time depends mostly on the material and how much water it took on. Tile gives water up quickly; drywall and framing take longer; hardwood and concrete, Class 4 materials under IICRC S500, are the slowest. Bigger areas, a finished basement or a wet crawl space add time.
Georgia summers are humid, so open windows do not dry a house; LGR dehumidifiers pull the moisture out of the air while air movers push it out of the materials. Drying ends when readings match a dry reference, not on a set date. The crawl space water removal page covers one of the slower cases.
