Why crawl spaces, joists and humid summers dry slower
Drying is finished when wet materials read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material in the same building, not when the surface feels dry. The drying team records readings daily and pulls equipment only at that goal.
Piedmont summers are humid, so open windows add moisture instead of removing it. A vented crawl space pulls in that same damp air, which is why the drying team closes the space up and runs LGR or desiccant dehumidifiers under the house until the joists and subfloor read dry.

Drying Time Estimator questions
Numbers are only a starting point
Want readings, not guesses?
(888) 578-4720Talk to a Forsyth County drying proWhy does the estimate give a range?
Every loss is different. Hidden water under laminate or in a crawl space can add days, which is why moisture mapping comes before equipment.
Does humid weather slow drying?
Yes. In a Kernersville summer the outdoor air is often wetter than the air inside, so the drying team keeps the house closed and lets dehumidifiers do the work.
When does rebuilding start?
Only after the structure reads dry. Closing up a wet wall or floor traps moisture and invites mold.
Can box fans do the job?
Box fans move surface air but do not pull water out of the air or out of dense materials. Air movers paired with LGR dehumidifiers are sized to the class of loss.
