Why do you remove baseboards and drywall after a leak?
Water wicks up drywall and hides behind baseboards and cabinets. If it cannot dry in place, leaving it invites mold, which grows fast in Florida humidity. We remove only what the readings say will not dry.
How long does it take to dry out a water-damaged home in Old Miakka?
It depends on how much got wet, the materials, and the humidity. Most structural drying takes several days. We take moisture readings on each visit and stop when materials reach normal levels, not on a fixed schedule.
