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.

Chula Vista: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Chula Vista, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Harbor Side, Sunnyside, and Lynwood Hills. Every row of houses here has a planted slope standing above it, watered by a system that runs all summer.

How these houses are built

The typical Chula Vista house dates to 1987, with about half of the stock (53.9 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1980s work. Around a median of 1987 with just over half the stock older, much of this housing is laid out in terraces cut into the hillsides, with a graded and planted bank between one row and the next that belongs to the association rather than to any house.

The climate a job dries in

Drying here is a August job at one pace and a December job at another, 71.3 degrees against 56.2; the 11.01 inches a year peak in February at 2.63, rain recorded at CHULA VISTA 2.5SE 2.3 miles away and temperatures at CHULA VISTA 4.2 miles away. February is the wettest month at 2.63 inches of an 11.01-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so almost no water arrives from the sky between spring and autumn; what keeps the slope above a house wet through those months is the irrigation on it.

The way a loss ends here

  • Water applied above the houses on a timer rather than by weather, so the wet season is whenever the system runs
  • A slope maintained by somebody other than the owner below it, so a fault is not theirs to find or fix
  • Saturated ground standing higher than the building, so any release moves downhill toward the wall

Frequently asked questions

How does the slope above the house cause a problem?

By being wetted deliberately through a rainless summer. The bank is planted and irrigated to keep it stable and green, so it is carrying water in months when nothing else here is. Where a line breaks or a head runs long, that water goes into the slope and comes out at the bottom, which is the back of the house below.

What does a slope failure look like indoors?

Damp at the base of a wall on the uphill side, or water arriving at a patio door that faces the slope. It appears in dry weather, which is what makes it confusing. Nobody connects a wet wall in August with a landscape system that has been running the same way for years.

Who should be told when this happens?

The association, and quickly. The slope, its planting and its irrigation are usually theirs to maintain, and a controller or a broken lateral on their side is what has to change. Repairing the wall without that conversation means doing the same repair again the following summer.
