How this tool works
Drying time follows the material more than anything else. Tile and sealed concrete give up water fastest, drywall and framing sit in the middle, and plaster on lath, old-growth hardwood and fieldstone, all common in Somerville houses, are the slowest. Soaked materials, basements and cold exterior walls add days.
The estimate assumes professional equipment and daily readings. The drying goal is not a date: the equipment stays until wet materials read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference in the same building. The structural drying page explains the IICRC S500 approach.
