Central drying is workable year-round, moderate ambient humidity, predictable temperatures.
Why so many fans and dehumidifiers?
Each piece is sized for a specific job. Air movers move saturated air off the wet material, dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the air. Too few = wet stays wet. Too many = wasted electricity. The IICRC formula calls for one air mover every 10-16 linear feet of wet wall plus dehumidifier capacity matched to the cubic footage and class of water loss. The crew does the math.
Can I shut the equipment off at night?
Please don't. Drying is a continuous process, every shutoff lets the moisture re-equilibrate and adds time to the job. The equipment is loud but it's earning its keep around the clock. The crew positions it to minimize disruption to bedrooms when possible.
