Drying time after water damage in your home is determined by a combination of factors including the location, duration and source of water; the types of building materials in your home; weather conditions; and how quickly emergency restoration services are started. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, our trained technicians can determine when the drying is complete. For example, your carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no hard and fast rules to determine how long your property will take to dry, we can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.
When it comes to managing disasters and restoring commercial properties, you may find several options available to you. However, many provide only primary reconstruction and mitigation, which may need to be improved following a disaster. At ServiceMaster Recovery Management (SRM), we offer a complete and comprehensive solution to all your recovery needs, making us your full-service partner in a fast, safe, and effective recovery.
Some high-value items require restoration by specialists. Working with your insurance claim representative, we can help you identify these items and locate a qualified restorer.
