Pick what got wet and when drying started. Slab concrete and hardwood hold water longest, so the sooner the equipment runs, the shorter the job.
Class 2: a whole room with carpet and wall bottoms wet.
Estimate only, not a quote. Every water loss is different, and the walkthrough with a moisture map sets the real scope. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.

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.
Humid storm weeks
Spring storm weeks in North Texas bring humid air that slows evaporation. LGR dehumidifiers pull that moisture out so materials keep drying.
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 the equipment not 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 humid weather really slow drying?
Yes. Damp air pulls less water out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside the containment so evaporation keeps going.
Why does a concrete slab take longer?
Concrete is dense and releases water slowly. After a slab leak it often needs desiccant or LGR 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.
