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.
Humid Kansas summers
Muggy summer air slows evaporation, so LGR dehumidifiers pull that moisture out inside a closed drying zone and materials keep drying.
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) 902-1696 Book the moisture readingsWhy 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.
Does summer humidity really slow drying?
Yes. Humid air pulls less water out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside the drying zone so evaporation keeps going.
Why does basement concrete take longer?
Concrete is dense and releases water slowly. After a basement flood it often needs LGR or desiccant 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 after the cleanup? Get real drying started.
Drying time shrinks when extraction and equipment start early. The drying team sets up as soon as it is called.
