How long does water damage take to dry in San Marino?
Most homes dry in 3 to 5 days, though original hardwood, plaster, and a wet concrete slab can take longer. Southern California's mild air helps surface moisture, but it does nothing for water trapped under a slab or in a wall cavity, which is why we use commercial dehumidifiers and monitor moisture daily.
Why does a concrete slab take so long to dry?
A slab and the ground beneath it hold a lot of moisture and give it up slowly. After a slab leak or a flood on a ground-floor room, that means more days of controlled drying and daily moisture readings before it hits a safe target and the flooring can go back.
Can original hardwood floors be saved after water damage?
Often, yes. In San Marino's older homes we float specialty drying mats over the hardwood and pull moisture out slowly instead of tearing up an irreplaceable floor. It takes longer than drying tile, but it is the difference between drying a floor and replacing it.
How do you know when it is dry?
We take daily moisture readings with meters and only pull the equipment once the readings confirm the structure has reached a safe, dry target.
