Sample job
A Seattle customer in their any era home had been chasing hardwood floor cupping after a slow leak for weeks before calling. 3 weeks of moisture trapped in subfloor was the actual cause. We specialty hardwood drying mats with desiccant, 14 days of monitored drying, 70% of floor saved without replacement; everything stable since. About $1812 all in.
What's typical for this job
Drying after extraction is what determines whether your loss becomes a $5,000 cleanup or a $25,000 demolition-and-rebuild. Inadequate drying = mold = much bigger problem.
We size drying equipment using IICRC psychrometric calculations: cubic footage of affected space, current moisture content of materials, target dryness, and grain depression of the air.
Typical setup: 1 dehumidifier per 800-1,200 cubic feet, plus air movers at 1 per 50-100 sqft of wet surface. Equipment runs continuously for 3-7 days depending on class of loss.
Daily moisture readings track progress against target. Once materials hit target dryness, equipment comes out and reconstruction can begin.
