Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Open windows in a mild week can help or hurt the dry-out. The technician decides based on outdoor humidity. With most homes owner-occupied, the washer is often the owner's own purchase. The owner decides whether to repair or replace it after the dry-out.
