What happens between the call and the rebuild

Four stages, in one order, described by the IICRC S500 standard. The contractor does each; how well each is done decides how much work the next one carries.

  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.

What a wet building in Clovis asks of a contractor

Clovis homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or out in Buchanan Estates. The pools here are topped up by a valve that runs on its own, so a pool that leaks still looks full.

The materials in these houses

Roughly 17,956 of Clovis's 43,691 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1996; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1996 with four in ten predating 1990, a great deal of this housing has a pool in the back yard fitted with an automatic filler, a float valve plumbed to the supply that keeps the water at a set level without anybody touching it.

Weather that sets the pace

A normal year here delivers 14.55 inches, 2.72 of them in January, against a warm season that peaks at 83.5 degrees in July; rain recorded at CLOVIS 2.9 N 2.4 miles away and temperatures at FRESNO YOSEMITE INTL AP 3.9 miles away. January is the wettest month at 2.72 inches of a 14.55-inch year and July highs reach near 98 degrees, so evaporation is expected and constant; a filler that runs every day in that heat looks exactly like a pool doing what it should.

How the losses here usually end

  • A leak hidden by a device designed to hide falling water levels
  • Supply water going into the ground beside the house continuously rather than into the pool
  • Ground saturated a few feet from a foundation for months with no sign at the surface

Frequently asked questions

How can a full pool be leaking?

Because something is replacing the water as it goes. The automatic filler exists to make up evaporation, and it cannot tell the difference between water lost to the air and water lost through a crack in the shell or a failed fitting. The level stays constant while the ground underneath takes a steady supply.

How would anyone spot it?

On the water bill, usually, or as soft ground and settlement on one side of the pool. A useful check is to switch the filler off and mark the level for a day; a pool in this climate loses about a quarter inch to evaporation, and anything much beyond that is going somewhere else.

What does that water do to the house?

It depends on how close the pool is, and here they are usually close. Continuous water into the soil beside a slab softens the ground under the edge of it, and the first sign inside is frequently a crack in the floor or a door that no longer closes rather than anything wet at all.
