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.

Indio: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Indio, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Bella Vida, The Orchard, and The Bridge. Date gardens surround this city and they are watered by flooding the ground between the palms.

How these houses are built

Ask when the houses in Indio were built and the answer is 2000 at the median, 40.7 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 2000 and four in ten houses older, the subdivisions were built among working date gardens, where irrigation means running water across the whole orchard floor rather than to individual trees.

The climate a job dries in

On the 1991–2020 normals, Indio gets 2.92 inches a year with January heaviest at 0.65, and the drying season runs from a 57-degree December to a 94.1-degree July; both figures recorded at INDIO FIRE STN, 2 miles away. January is the wettest month at 0.65 inches of a 2.92-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so essentially nothing falls from the sky; every drop of water in this ground was put there deliberately.

The way a loss ends here

  • Flood irrigation next door, so a large volume is applied to the ground on a schedule
  • Ground water held up by that application, so the level has nothing to do with rainfall
  • Borders and checks around the gardens, so the water is contained until it is not

Frequently asked questions

How are date gardens watered?

By flooding. Water is run across the whole floor of the garden between the palms and allowed to soak in, which is how the crop has always been grown here. It puts a great deal of water into the ground in a short period.

Does that reach the houses?

It reaches the ground water, which is the same thing over time. Regular flooding of a large area keeps the level beneath it up, and that extends past the boundary into the ground under the subdivisions alongside. That is why a property several rows back from a garden can be affected as much as one on its boundary.

Is the timing predictable?

Very, which is unusual and useful. Irrigation runs to a schedule the growers keep, so a basement or a slab that responds a day or two after each application is telling you exactly where the water is coming from. The growers keep to it closely, so a household that notes the dates can predict its own wet spells.
