Floor leak drying query

Hi,
We are waiting for our insurance company to sort out a pipe leak in our kitchen.
They are saying the concrete will need sub floor will need drying out with industrial dehumidifiers but I have eczema and dust allergy and DD has controlled asthma. We have pets - dog and cat and adult DS is autistic and really isn’t great with other people in the house.

Im mega stressed about it all and DH just keeps getting cross with me and saying ‘it’ll all be fine’!

My query is has anyone not used dehumidifiers to dry out a concrete f,or and used instead, something like the injectidry system? It’s supposed to be much more effective, although more expensive - so not sure insurance companies will want to do anything like that.
Do we have a choice? I’d prefer not to have noisy drying dehumidifiers for up to 6 weeks! 😩
