How this tool works
Drying time depends mostly on the material and how much water it absorbed. Tile and slab give up water quickly, drywall and framing take longer, and dense oak flooring and old plaster are the slowest. A wet crawl space adds days, because the floor keeps drawing moisture from below until the space under the house is dried too.
Humid Carolina summers slow drying, which is why the drying team keeps the house closed and lets the dehumidifiers control the air. Equipment comes out when readings match a dry reference material, not on a fixed date. See hardwood floor drying for floors.
