How drying time is worked out
The drying team does not pick a date. It takes a reading from dry, unaffected material of the same type, then dries the wet material until it reads within 2 to 4 points of that reference. This estimator models the four things that change how long that takes: the class of the loss, the size of the area, how fast drying started and the weather.
Why older Hyattsville homes take longer
- Plaster on wood lath and brick basement walls are Class 4 materials that release water slowly.
- Tongue-and-groove oak and heart pine floors must dry steadily or they crack.
- Humid summer air adds load to the dehumidifiers, so the room is kept closed.
