ᐅ Wooden studs completely soaked with water and snow — is this a serious problem?

Hello,
two weeks ago our prefabricated concrete basement was built.
However, our interior walls and ceiling are made of wood!
Unfortunately, it has been snowing and raining for 1.5 weeks, so our basement is now wet. Water is standing on the floor, and the wooden beams and ceiling are wet (water is dripping through the wooden ceiling).
Although the construction was covered, it didn’t help.

According to our construction company, this is not a problem.
They say the basement will be dried out using dehumidifiers.

Is this procedure acceptable?
What do you think?
Will we encounter problems later on?

Snow is definitely better than rain. I think it’s fairly easy to dry out after that.

As long as no insulation has been installed yet, it should be allowed to dry out again.

How can I check if the wood is dry enough?

You don’t really have to 😉. That’s the builder’s responsibility. But if you want to know how much moisture the wood contains, a simple moisture meter is usually enough (search term: “moisture meter”).

I would also like to know myself. Trust is good, but checking is better. Especially if engineered wood (glulam) is used in the ceiling area (or later the ground floor slab?), I would be careful when water and frost occur together.

Would you like to share some pictures of the situation? Many here build with wood and are always interested in such details to better assess their own projects.
