How this estimate works
The biggest factors are what got wet and how much water it absorbed. Sealed surfaces release water in a day or two, wallboard and studs take several, and oak, old plaster and exposed slab, the dense Class 4 materials under IICRC S500, hold on longest. More rooms add time, and so does the coast, where the marine layer keeps outside air damp and dehumidifiers carry more of the load.
The range assumes equipment runs day and night with a meter check every day. The drying team ends the job on numbers, not on a calendar: each wet material has to read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference. More on structural drying and hardwood floor drying.
The clock on drying starts when the water does.
