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 summer air
Outdoor air in a Zephyrhills summer is heavy with moisture, so the drying team keeps the house closed and lets LGR dehumidifiers and the AC pull the air dry instead of opening windows.
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 house.

Drying Time Estimator questions
Why can't the equipment come out when the floor feels dry?
Slab concrete, baseboards and the bottom of the drywall hold water after surfaces feel dry. Readings decide, so equipment stays until materials match the dry reference.
Should I open the windows to help it dry?
In the wet season, open windows let humid outdoor air in. Closed-up drying with dehumidifiers and the AC running usually pulls the air drier, and the readings show which works.
Why does a concrete slab take so long?
Concrete soaks water deep and releases it slowly, especially under tile or vinyl plank. Slab drying often needs extra dehumidification and sometimes the flooring lifted.
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.
