A planning estimate only, based on typical San Dimas water losses. Every loss is different, and a firm scope comes from an assessment of the property.

How this estimate works

Drying time depends mostly on the material and how saturated it is. Tile over slab gives water up fastest, drywall and framing take longer, and hardwood and plaster are slowest because moisture has to travel through dense material. Larger wet areas add time, and a humid San Dimas summer week slows evaporation unless dehumidification keeps up.

The drying goal is not a date on a calendar. The drying team compares daily readings with a dry reference material in an unaffected part of the same house and pulls equipment when wet materials read within 2 to 4 points of it. Slab moisture is covered on the slab leak water damage page.
