Drying, stage by stage

Sequence beats equipment on a wet building. The stages below come from IICRC S500 - all of them the contractor's work, each one setting the size of the next.

  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 drying a building in Victorville involves

When a floor is wet in Victorville, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Old Town. The supply comes up through the slab here, and a swing from freezing nights to high-nineties days works that joint.

What the houses are made of

Only 56.8 percent of Victorville's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1994 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1994 and under half the stock older, the houses are slab-on-grade with the water service rising through the concrete at one point, and the pipe is fixed in the pour where it passes through rather than sleeved to let it move.

Drying conditions

Drying here is a July job at one pace and a December job at another, 80.9 degrees against 44.7; the 5.57 inches a year peak in February at 1.27, both figures recorded at VICTORVILLE, 3.5 miles away. February is the wettest month at just over an inch of a six inch year, and the temperature runs from freezing nights in January to the high nineties in July; that swing is the largest thing acting on the building, and a pipe held rigid in concrete takes it every day.

How water losses tend to end in Victorville

  • A pipe fixed rigidly where it passes through the slab, so it cannot move as the temperature changes
  • A very large daily and seasonal temperature swing, so the joint is worked continuously rather than occasionally
  • A failure below the floor at a known point, so the location is predictable even though the damage is not visible

Water Damage Restoration services in Victorville

Six water services lead and two mold services follow, because mold is the end of a drying job rather than a separate one. Independent Victorville contractors do both.

Frequently asked questions

Why would a pipe fail where it comes through the floor?

Because it is held and the temperature is not. The supply rises through the slab and is fixed in the pour where it passes, so it cannot move, and in a climate that swings from freezing nights to the high nineties the pipe is expanding and contracting against concrete every single day.

Is the failure above or below the slab?

Usually right at the penetration, which is the useful part. The point of highest stress is where the pipe is gripped, so the location is predictable even though nothing about it is visible, and the floor is opened at that point rather than searched across the room.

What happens to the ground under the slab?

It takes the water, and in ground this dry it takes a great deal before anything reaches the room. That means the loss has usually been running a long time by the time it is found, and the readings go into the slab over repeated visits rather than being settled in a week.
