Extraction is the fast part; drying is the job. Once standing water is pumped and vacuumed out, the real question is what the water reached that you cannot see: sill plates, subfloor, the back of cabinets, insulation in a wall cavity. Wilmington's humidity means equipment placement and run time matter more here than in drier markets, and pulling the fans out a day early is how a clean job turns into a mold call in October.
The finish line is a set of numbers. Materials have known dry standards, and monitoring visits track readings down to them. When a company tells you the house is dry, ask to see that in figures, not vibes. That is the difference between restoration and renting fans.
Crawlspace losses deserve a special mention because half this county lives over one. Water under a house disappears from view and then spends months feeding moisture up into the floor system. If your loss reached the crawlspace, make sure the scope says what happens down there, not just upstairs.
Tell us what you need and we'll get back to you with a real answer. If it's an active backup or standing water over the field, calling gets you a faster response.
