How long will your Pasadena home take to dry?

Pick the main material, how wet it is, and how much of your home was affected to see a rough drying window. Old plaster and lath, hardwood, or tile over a concrete slab holds moisture longer, so the sooner drying starts, the shorter it takes and the less you lose to mold.

FAQ

Common questions, answered

How long does water damage take to dry in Pasadena?

Most homes dry in 3 to 5 days, though old plaster and lath, hardwood, and tile over a concrete slab can take longer. Those older Pasadena materials hold moisture, which is why we use commercial dehumidifiers and monitor the readings daily.

Why does tile over a concrete slab take so long to dry?

A concrete slab and the ground beneath it hold a lot of moisture and give it up slowly. After a slab leak that means more days of controlled drying and daily moisture readings before the slab and the flooring above it hit a safe target.

Can I speed up drying with my own fans?

Household fans move surface air but do not pull moisture from a subfloor, plaster walls, a concrete slab, or old framing. Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure so mold cannot start, which matters in a plaster-walled bungalow or a slab home.

How do you know when it is dry?

We take daily moisture readings with meters and only remove the equipment once the readings confirm the structure has reached a safe, dry target.
