Material type affects drying
Dense wood products, drywall, carpet systems, concrete and insulation all hold and release moisture differently.
More water usually means more work
A minor localized leak is different from a large release that migrated through multiple rooms or floors.
Hidden cavities can extend the process
Wall voids, cabinets and floor assemblies may dry more slowly than exposed surfaces.
Drying should be judged by condition, not the calendar
A fixed timeline can be misleading. The useful question is whether affected materials have reached appropriate moisture conditions for the next repair step.
Talk through the situation by phone
Describe the source of the water, the affected area and whether the water is still entering the property.
