ServiceMaster Recovery Management (SRM) is the commercial large loss division of ServiceMaster Restore. SRM is the nation’s leading provider of immediate disaster relief. Our single mission is to get companies back to business as quickly and safely as possible, no matter the size of the loss or where their business is located.
Drying time after water damage in your home is determined by a combination of factors including the location, duration and source of water; the types of building materials in your home; weather conditions; and how quickly emergency restoration services are started. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, our trained technicians can determine when the drying is complete. For example, your carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no hard and fast rules to determine how long your property will take to dry, we can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.
Nonporous flooring can trap water and prevent it and the materials under it from drying properly.
