### How Long to Run Fans After Water Damage?
Adequate drying time is essential after water damage. Fans play a vital role in the drying process by circulating air and removing excess moisture. The duration for which fans should be run depends on several factors, including:
– The severity of the water damage
– The type of flooring and materials involved
– The ambient temperature and humidity
Generally, fans should be operated for:
– **Hardwood Floors:** 2-3 days
