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.
Humid summers, dry winters
Missouri summer air holds a lot of moisture, which slows evaporation in a closed basement. LGR dehumidifiers pull that moisture out so materials keep drying.
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) 603-7319 Book the first moisture readingsWhy 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.
Does a humid summer really slow drying?
Yes. Damp air pulls less water out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside the containment so evaporation keeps going.
Why does a basement slab take longer?
Concrete is dense and releases water slowly, and a below-grade room has little airflow. It often needs more dehumidification and more days than drywall or carpet.
Does a delay change the drying time?
Yes. Water that sits soaks deeper, and contaminated water adds removal and cleaning before drying even starts.
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.
