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.
Dry air, cold basements
Pueblo's dry outdoor air helps upstairs rooms, but basement concrete stays cool and gives up water slowly. LGR dehumidifiers keep evaporation going below grade.
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) 532-8620 Get Pueblo moisture 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 Pueblo's dry climate speed things up?
Dry outdoor air helps rooms above grade dry, but a closed-up house and a cool basement still need dehumidifiers to keep the drying moving.
Why does basement concrete take longer?
Concrete is dense and releases water slowly, and a basement slab stays cool. It often needs LGR or desiccant 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.
