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.
River Parish humidity
Warm humid air slows uncontrolled evaporation. LGR dehumidifiers lower the indoor moisture load so wet materials can keep releasing water.
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) 417-5665Get LaPlace 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.
Does River Parish humidity slow drying?
Yes. Humid air pulls less water out of wet materials. LGR dehumidifiers dry the air inside containment so evaporation keeps going.
Why does a concrete slab take longer?
Concrete is dense and releases water slowly. After a slab leak it often needs desiccant or LGR dehumidifiers 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.
