How Long Should Drying Take for Wilmington Residences?

There is no guaranteed time limit or recovery timeline for any Wilmington home after a water loss incident, but that does not stop our professionals from working around the clock to get your restored home back to you quickly. Efficiency is as vital to our SERVPRO team, as is the customer satisfaction we focus on, so being able to address water losses with the full measure of our premier equipment and tools ensures that damaged rooms in your home get their necessary attention as soon as our team arrives.

As challenging as many might believe water removal in Wilmington homes to be, especially when homeowners are working alone to resolve these concerns, we have an extensive inventory of powerful extractors that can get the job done effectively. From our powerful truck-mount option capable of 300psi extraction to portable electric options like the light wands and sump pumps, we have the right tool for any sized disaster that we can face.

The length of time that a drying project takes after extraction completes varies from one residence to another, though we can say that we work to complete a majority of our drying tasks within 72 hours. This window of time ensures that we can avoid costlier and more challenging circumstances like mold growth that would require the expertise and skills of our remediation specialists. Allowing mold growth to occur can lead to potential health effects for members of your family exposed to the active colonization.

Also, many construction materials can begin to show severe warping and distortion within this time, especially if they had spent more extended periods exposed to standing water threats. Without quickly drying out water damaged areas like drywall, carpeting, hardwood flooring, and other fixtures like cabinets, our team might have to replace these structural elements and materials later once mitigation completes.

While no technicians, even our experienced SERVPRO of New Hanover team, can tell you exactly how long drying takes for your home, Rich and his crew can work to get the job done as promptly as possible. Give us a call whenever disasters strike at (910) 762-8180.
