Pick the main material, how wet it is, and how much of your home was affected to see a rough drying window. A basement slab, old plaster, or hardwood holds moisture longer, so the sooner drying starts, the shorter it takes and the less you lose to mold in the humid Northeast summer.

Most homes dry in 3 to 5 days, though hardwood, old plaster, and a saturated basement slab can take longer. Northeast humidity in summer slows surface drying, and a cold, damp basement holds moisture, which is why crews use commercial dehumidifiers and monitor moisture daily instead of guessing.
Why does a basement take so long to dry?
A basement slab and the foundation walls hold a lot of moisture and give it up slowly, and hillside White Plains basements can keep taking on groundwater. That means more days of controlled drying, sometimes with specialty equipment, and daily readings before it hits a safe target.
Can I speed up drying with my own fans?
Household fans move surface air but do not pull moisture from a slab, plaster, or old framing. Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure so mold cannot start, which matters most in a warm, humid Westchester summer when a damp wall cavity can grow mold within a day or two.
How do you know when it is dry?
Crews take daily moisture readings with meters and pull the equipment only once the readings confirm the structure has reached a safe, dry target.
