Class of loss
Class 1 through 4 describes how much water soaked in and how dense the materials are. It sets how many air movers and dehumidifiers a room needs.
The drying goal
Materials are dry when they read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material in an unaffected part of the same house.
Daily readings
The drying team records material readings and psychrometric data every day, and that log decides when the equipment leaves.

Drying Time Estimator questions
Why can't drying be scheduled for a set date?
Materials dry at different speeds. The IICRC S500 goal is a reading, not a date, so equipment stays until the readings match dry.
Why does a slab take longer?
Concrete holds water deep in its pores and releases it slowly, so it needs drying mats or desiccants and more days.
Does weather matter?
Yes. Hot, dry air speeds evaporation; humid spring weeks slow it down, and the dehumidifiers work harder.
What is Class 4?
Water soaked into dense materials such as concrete, hardwood or plaster, which need specialty drying.
When does repair start?
Rebuilding starts after the structure reads dry, so drywall and flooring are not sealed over wet materials.
