What drying can involve
- Identifying which materials are still wet
- Removing materials that cannot reasonably be dried or saved
- Using air movement to support evaporation
- Using dehumidification to remove moisture from the air
- Checking moisture over time rather than relying only on appearance
Why timing matters
Persistent dampness can damage finishes and create conditions favorable to microbial growth. Learn more in water damage vs. mold.
Start with extraction if water is still standing
If there is still visible standing water, begin with water removal and extraction before focusing on drying.
