Estimate only: a planning figure from typical coastal San Diego losses. Every water loss is different, and the restoration company sets the real scope after it maps the moisture on site.

How this works

Drying time depends mostly on the material and how much water it took in. Tile and concrete surfaces give up water fastest, drywall and framing take longer, and hardwood, plaster and a slab soaked from below are the slowest. Near the ocean, damp marine air slows evaporation, which is why closed rooms with dehumidifiers dry faster than open windows.

The estimate assumes professional air movers and dehumidifiers running nonstop with daily readings. The meter decides, not the calendar: a material is dry when it reads within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference in the same building. The structural drying page walks through the process.
