Carpet, hard flooring, underlayment and drywall each take different work to extract or dry.

Required Drying Time

Drying often takes several days, and each extra day of equipment adds to the total.

Does Insurance Cover Condo Water Extraction?

When water comes from another unit, insurers may decide which policy pays. Records of where the water started and what it reached help settle that.
