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.

Mesa: what the drying job runs into

Water damage restoration by an independent local contractor covers Mesa together with Kingsgate, Suntrails, and Woodbridge Crossing. A Maricopa County city where 9.77 inches fall in a year and most of it arrives in a handful of violent summer storms.

How these houses are built

The typical Mesa house dates to 1989, with about half of the stock (52.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. The median house dates to 1989 and just over half predate 1990, stucco over frame on slab with tile and low-slope roofing, so a storm loss enters at the roof and the wet material is ceiling board, insulation and the top of the wall rather than anything at floor level.

The climate a job dries in

August brings 1.32 of the 9.77 inches Mesa sees in a normal year, and July averages 92.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at MESA 1.5 SSW 1.9 miles away and temperatures at E MESA 4.4 miles away. August is the wettest month at just 1.32 inches out of 9.77 for the year, and July highs reach nearly 106 degrees, so the rain arrives in short violent bursts and the heat afterward is the strongest drying force the season offers.

The way a loss ends here

  • Storm bursts dropping a large share of the annual rain in minutes onto low-slope roofs
  • Extreme heat driving moisture deep into material before anyone reaches the building
  • Surfaces reading dry within hours while the framing behind is still holding water

Frequently asked questions

It hardly rains here. How does a storm put water in the ceiling?

By arriving all at once. Much of the year's rain falls in a few short violent bursts, and a low-slope roof that copes with steady rain cannot clear that volume fast enough. Water backs up at the parapet or the drain and finds any seam, so the wet material is the ceiling board, the insulation above it and the top of the wall.

The room was dry the next day. Why did equipment stay?

Because the surfaces and the structure are far apart in this climate. With July highs near 106 degrees a ceiling can look and feel finished within hours while the framing above it and the insulation behind still hold water. The meter goes into the framing, and the readings decide the end rather than how the room feels.

Does the heat help or hurt after a storm?

Both, at different stages. In the hours before anyone arrives it drives water deeper into absorbent material and starts breaking down anything paper faced. Once equipment is running, the same heat makes this one of the fastest places to dry an open assembly. What the heat does to the material first is usually what decides how much is replaced.
