How this tool works
Drying time depends mostly on the material and how much water it took on. Tile and bare slab give up water quickly, drywall and framing take longer, and dense hardwood, old plaster and stone are the slowest. A wet slab adds days, because concrete holds water deep in the pour and keeps feeding it back into the flooring above until it is dried too.
Dry summer air in the Valley helps, while damp winter storm weeks slow things down, which is why the drying team keeps the building closed and lets the dehumidifiers control the air. Equipment comes out when readings match a dry reference material, not on a fixed date. See structural drying and dehumidification for how that is measured.
