Class 1 through 4
The class of loss describes how much water the materials soaked up. It sets how many air movers and dehumidifiers a room needs and how long they run.
Humid Gulf air
Summer air on this coast already holds a lot of moisture, so open windows slow drying. Crews close the house, run the AC when it works and let LGR dehumidifiers pull the water out of the air.
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 house.

Drying Time Estimator questions
Why can't the equipment leave when the floor feels dry?
Drywall, baseboards, cabinets and the slab under tile hold water after the surface feels dry. Readings decide, so equipment stays until materials match the dry reference.
Should I open the windows to help it dry?
Usually not in summer. Outdoor air here is often more humid than the air inside, so a closed, cooled house with dehumidifiers dries faster.
Why does a power outage after a storm slow drying?
Without power, the AC and the dehumidifiers stop, and the house fills with humid air. Crews often bring generators or wait for power before full drying begins.
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? Get the drying going tonight.
Drying time shrinks when extraction and equipment start early. The drying team sets up as soon as it is called.
