The four stages of a drying job

What the IICRC S500 standard lays out, in sequence. The equipment is the easy part; the order is what decides how much of each later stage there is to do.

  1. Step 1: Stop and remove

    The source is shut off, then free water is pumped and extracted. Every hour water stands, it climbs further into drywall and subfloor, so this stage sets the size of everything after it.

  2. Step 2: Open and map

    Baseboard, wet drywall and soaked insulation come out, and meters read the material behind them. The wet edge is marked where the moisture stops, not where the stain does.

  3. Step 3: Dry to a number

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a sealed system, and the same points are read daily. The equipment leaves when the readings reach the dry standard for that material, not on a set day.

  4. Step 4: Close up

    Rebuild starts only after the structure is confirmed dry. Insulation, drywall and finishes go back over an assembly that will not feed anything later.

Buckeye: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Buckeye, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Conger, Verrado, and Tartesso. Pumping groundwater has opened fissures across this valley, cracks in the ground that can run for miles.

How these houses are built

6.3 percent of Buckeye's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 2011, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With a median of 2011 and barely one house in sixteen predating 1990, the newest subdivisions sit on a valley floor where decades of groundwater withdrawal have caused the ground to subside and split along lines.

The climate a job dries in

January brings 1.05 of the 8.01 inches Buckeye sees in a normal year, and July averages 93.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at GOODYEAR 5.9 WSW 11.3 miles away and temperatures at LITCHFIELD PARK 16.7 miles away. January is the wettest month at 1.05 inches of an 8.01-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so rain is very rare; a fissure stays hidden until a storm runs water into it and washes it open.

The way a loss ends here

  • A crack in the ground that may run for miles, so it crosses properties without regard to lots
  • Surface expression only after rain, so a fissure is invisible until water finds it
  • Ground continuing to subside, so the feature is active rather than historic

Frequently asked questions

What is an earth fissure?

A crack that opens in the ground when an aquifer is pumped down and the sediments compact unevenly. They can run for miles and be several feet across, and they are a consequence of groundwater withdrawal rather than of any earthquake.

Why do they show up after rain?

Because water finds them and opens them out. A fissure can be closed at the surface and invisible for years, and then a storm runs into the line, washes the soil down into the crack, and a gaping channel appears in what looked like flat ground.

Are they mapped?

The known ones are, by the state geological survey, and those maps are public and worth looking at before buying or building. New ones do appear, so a map showing nothing is less reassuring than a map showing one some distance away.
