Estimate how long a typical dry-out takes in a Matthews home, based on the IICRC loss class, the crawl space and when drying starts.
Equipment leaves when readings reach the drying goal, not on a set date.

How drying time is estimated
Under the IICRC S500 standard, the drying team classes a loss by how much water was absorbed and how dense the wet materials are. Class 1 and 2 losses in Matthews usually dry in three to five days; Class 3 and 4 take longer. A wet crawl space adds days because the subfloor dries from both sides.
Season matters here. Humid Piedmont summers load the air with moisture and winter cold slows evaporation, so LGR dehumidifiers work harder in both. Starting late matters most of all, because water keeps wicking into drywall and framing until extraction begins.
The real finish line is the reading: wet materials within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference in the same house. See structural drying in Matthews for how that is measured.
