Water damage can have a serious impact on your belongings and property and can lead to short- and long-term problems in your home. It’s important to call in water damage professionals to deal with water damage immediately and prevent the problem from worsening. The first step is drying out the wet or damp areas that were exposed to water.

The time to dry out water damage depends on several factors, but in general, you can expect areas in your home exposed to water or moisture to dry in about five days. Sometimes it takes as little as two days to dry an area and other times it could take several weeks. Areas that are not that saturated with dryer air tend to be on the shorter end, while humid areas that have been fully saturated will stay wet longer. Professional water damage experts are able to speed the process and reduce the long-term damage with industrial tools.

It’s also important to realize that the drying out phase is only the first step in dealing with water damage. There are several other steps in the cleanup process.
