How the estimate is built
Drying time depends mostly on the material and how saturated it is. Tile over a slab gives up surface water fastest, drywall and framing take longer, and dense hardwood, plaster and the concrete slab itself are the slowest. Bigger areas and standing water add days.
Inland East County air is usually dry, which helps, but a wet winter storm raises indoor humidity and slows evaporation, so LGR dehumidifiers carry more of the load. Crews dry to a reading, not a calendar: equipment comes out when wet materials sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference. Structural drying covers the full process.
