How a wet building gets dry again

The order matters more than the equipment. These are the stages the IICRC S500 drying standard describes; each is the contractor's work, and each decides how much of the next there is.

  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.

Inside a Chandler drying job

From Serape, Pepperwood, and Glenview Estates to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Chandler go to an independent local contractor. Semiconductor plants here use and reclaim water on a scale that shapes the ground water beneath the city.

Construction you will find here

Only 70.3 percent of Chandler's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1997 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1997 and under a third of the stock older, the subdivisions grew alongside very large fabrication plants whose water use, treatment and recharge operations sit within the built-up area.

Conditions for drying

Drying here is a July job at one pace and a December job at another, 90.9 degrees against 53.5; the 8.71 inches a year peak in January at 1.14, rain recorded at CHANDLER 3.8 N 5 miles away and temperatures at TEMPE ASU 10.7 miles away. January is the wettest month at 1.14 inches of an 8.71-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so natural recharge is negligible; what moves the water table under this city is industrial and municipal operation.

What tends to go wrong in Chandler

  • Ground water managed by operations, so the level responds to industry not weather
  • Recharge and extraction both happening locally, so the level can move either way
  • A source with no surface expression, so nothing visible explains a change

Frequently asked questions

How does a fab affect the ground water?

Through the scale of what it moves. These plants use very large volumes, treat what they return, and recharge it to the aquifer, so extraction and replenishment are both happening within the same urban area on an industrial scale. That is a scale of water movement with no equivalent anywhere else in the built-up area.

Can that raise the level under a house?

Locally it can, particularly near a recharge facility. In a climate where rainfall contributes almost nothing, the managed movement of water is the main thing setting the level, so it can rise in a year when nothing has fallen. A slab that has started reading damp with no plumbing fault is worth checking against that data first.

Is any of this published?

A good deal of it, because both the industrial users and the water utility report on extraction and recharge. For a household with an unexplained change in a basement or a slab, that data is worth looking at before anything else.
