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.
Minnesota seasons
Dry winter air with the furnace running helps evaporation, while humid summer air slows it. LGR dehumidifiers keep the air inside the drying area dry either way.
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.

Drying Time Estimator questions
Why 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 a humid summer really slow drying?
Yes. Damp air pulls less water out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside the drying area so evaporation keeps going.
Why does a concrete basement floor take longer?
Concrete is dense and releases water slowly, and a basement slab sits against cool ground. 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.
