The material goal comes before the calendar
The drying technician compares affected materials with appropriate dry references and records the trend. Air movers support evaporation, while dehumidifiers remove water vapor from the room. An inaccessible layer can slow progress even when the visible surface looks dry.
What this estimate leaves to inspection
Contamination work, source correction and necessary material removal must precede the suitable drying setup. The result is not a completion promise. Equipment interruptions and renewed leaks can change the work after the first assessment.
