For the proper drying, you need to set the optimum temperature. Also, the equal heat temperature should reach every corner of the house. If the water is flooded due to some minor leakage, turning on the heater at optimum temperature may help. But you should not turn off the heater until the moisture level is zero. However, for floods, natural disasters, and bursting pipes, it’s better to seek professional assistance for water extraction and dehumidification.
