Class 1 through 4
The class of loss describes how much water the materials soaked up. It sets how many air movers and dehumidifiers a room needs and how long they run.
Coastal air and drying
Damp marine-layer air slows evaporation, which is why LGR dehumidifiers run beside the air movers on most Aliso Viejo dry-outs.
The drying goal
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard. Wet materials are dried until they read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material in the same home.

Questions about the drying time estimator
Why does the equipment stay when the floor already feels dry?
Framing, subfloor, drywall and a concrete slab hold water after the surface feels dry. Readings decide, so the equipment stays until materials match the dry reference.
Does damp coastal air slow drying?
Yes. Humid air holds more water, so it pulls less out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air so evaporation can keep going.
Why do wood floors and a wet slab take longer?
Dense materials give up water slowly. They count as Class 4 and often need desiccant dehumidifiers and floor drying mats.
Does a delay change the drying time?
Yes. Water that sits soaks deeper, and contaminated water adds removal and cleaning before drying even starts.
Is a small loss really dry in a few days?
A contained Class 1 loss usually dries in three to five days when drying starts quickly. Bigger and denser losses take longer.
