03 · Questions
Questions about structural drying
No universal answer replaces an assessment of the actual property.
How long does drying take?
There is no truthful universal time. Materials, weather, access and the extent of wetting all affect the plan.
Will every wet material be removed?
Not always. A professional assessment should distinguish materials that can be dried from those that cannot be safely or practically restored.
What should I receive?
Ask for a written scope, equipment plan, progress notes and a clear handoff to any repair work.
