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.

Mead Valley: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Mead Valley, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Val Verde. The houses here stand far back from the road, so the water line to each one runs a long way underground.

How these houses are built

69 percent of Mead Valley's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1979, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1979 with nearly seven in ten predating 1990, this is semi-rural housing on large parcels where the building sits well back from the road and the service connecting it to the main crosses the property rather than a few feet of frontage.

The climate a job dries in

Drying here is a August job at one pace and a December job at another, 80.7 degrees against 55.6; the 11.65 inches a year peak in February at 3.09, rain recorded at PERRIS 10.6 W 6.9 miles away and temperatures at RIVERSIDE FIRE STN 3 10.1 miles away. February is the wettest month at 3.09 inches of an 11.65-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the ground is dry for most of the year; a line leaking into it gives nothing back at the surface until a great deal has gone.

The way a loss ends here

  • A long buried run that belongs to the property rather than to the utility
  • A failure somewhere along it with no sign above ground in dry soil
  • Repairs that mean excavating across a yard rather than working at the house

Frequently asked questions

Where does responsibility for that line end?

At the meter, in almost every case. Everything from the meter to the house belongs to the property, which on these parcels can be a couple of hundred feet of buried pipe. A break in it is the owner's to find and repair, and the water lost through it is on the owner's bill.

How is a break located?

By pressure test first, then by listening along the run and by looking for the one patch of ground that has a reason to be green. In this soil a leak can run for months without surfacing, so the meter is frequently the only evidence: it keeps turning with everything in the house shut off.

Is replacing the whole run ever the better answer?

Often, once a line of this age has failed once. Digging a two-hundred-foot trench to repair one point costs most of what replacing the run costs, and the rest of the pipe is the same age and in the same ground. Where the line is old galvanized or early plastic, replacement is usually the sensible call.
