Normally pumping water out of a home does not take long it’s the restoration work after that can take some time as it needs to be done properly. If the water was up to a certain level on the walls then that drywall will have to be removed and huge fans brought in to dry all the studding. The reason this is done is to stop any potential mold growth in the future. If any water damage company insists the place is dry after a quick clean up always be wary. Any drywall or flooring that was dampened could still have moister trapped. Ask them about potential mold issues because of the water damage so you are not left with issues later on down the line. After a room is fully dried you will be able to tell straight away, you will notice the studding will not be damp and the room won’t feel damp. Then it will be time to put the insulation and drywall back and seal the space. This is the way it should be taken care of so always remember that.
