Choose the answers that match the loss. Humid Gulf air and storm power outages both stretch a dry-out on the West Bank, so they are part of the estimate.

Estimate only. Equipment leaves on readings, not on a schedule: materials must reach 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.

Class 1 through 4
The class of loss describes how much water the materials absorbed. It sets how many air movers and dehumidifiers a room needs and how long they run.
Gulf Coast humidity
Outdoor air in Marrero stays heavy with moisture most of the year, so the drying team closes the room and lets LGR dehumidifiers pull the water out of the air.
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.

(888) 417-5665 Get Marrero readings startedWhy can't the equipment come out when the floor feels dry?
Framing, subfloor and drywall hold water after surfaces feel dry. Readings decide, so equipment stays until materials match the dry reference.
Should I open the windows to help it dry?
Usually not in Marrero. Outdoor air is often more humid than the room, so open windows slow drying. Closed containment with dehumidifiers works faster.
Why does a concrete slab take longer?
Concrete is dense and gives up water slowly. After a slab leak or street flooding it often needs desiccant or LGR dehumidifiers and more days than drywall.
What happens if the power is out after a storm?
Air movers and dehumidifiers need steady power, so drying waits on a generator sized for the equipment. Extraction and removal of wet materials can still start.
Is a contained 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.
