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.

Catalina Foothills: what the drying job runs into

Water damage restoration by an independent local contractor covers Catalina Foothills together with Tierra Serena, Skyline Bel Aire Estates, and Rio Cancion Estates. Washes come off the range and cross these neighborhoods, and they run bank to bank with no rain falling here.

How these houses are built

Only 33.3 percent of Catalina Foothills's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1985 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1985 with two thirds of the stock older, the neighborhoods climb the sloping skirt of coarse material at the foot of the range, cut through by washes that carry what comes off it.

The climate a job dries in

July brings 2.3 of the 11.83 inches Catalina Foothills sees in a normal year, and July averages 87.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at TUCSON 4.1 N 3.1 miles away and temperatures at TUCSON CAMP AVE EXP 3.7 miles away. July is the wettest month at 2.3 inches of an 11.83-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the rain arrives as monsoon storms; a storm over the range sends water down the washes with nothing falling on the house at all.

The way a loss ends here

  • Washes crossing the neighborhood, so the flow routes are fixed and close to the buildings
  • Coarse gravel ground, so water moves through it quickly and carries material with it
  • Storms occurring upslope, so nothing at the property gives any warning

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a bajada?

The apron of gravel and sand spread along the foot of a mountain range, built up over a very long time by material washing off it. The houses here are on that slope, and the washes crossing it are how the range still drains.

Why can it flood with no rain here?

Because the storm is on the mountain. A monsoon cell sitting over the range sends water down the washes within the hour, and it arrives at a house in bright sunshine with no rain having fallen on the property at all.

How close to a wash is too close?

Further than it looks on a dry day, which is the whole difficulty. A wash that is a gravel path most of the year runs bank to bank in a storm, and the mapped extent of that is worth checking rather than judging by eye.
