Arrange the necessary plumbing repair and contact a restoration professional to assess the remaining water damage.

An on-site assessment is the best way to develop a meaningful estimate.

How long does structural drying usually take?

The schedule depends on the materials, water exposure, temperature, humidity, and accessibility. Moisture measurements help determine whether the drying process is progressing appropriately.
