How a wet building gets dry again

The order matters more than the equipment. These are the stages the IICRC S500 drying standard describes; each is the contractor's work, and each decides how much of the next there is.

  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.

Inside a West Covina drying job

West Covina homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or out in Woodside Village and Sunkist Village. An aluminum patio cover is fixed to the fascia on most of these houses, and it drains back toward the wall.

Construction you will find here

Ask when the houses in West Covina were built and the answer is 1967 at the median, 87.3 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1967 with nearly nine in ten houses older, a light metal patio cover was added to the back of almost every house at some point, attached along the fascia board of the main roof and sloping away from it only slightly.

Conditions for drying

On the 1991–2020 normals, West Covina gets 16.74 inches a year with February heaviest at 4.32, and the drying season runs from a 54.2-degree December to a 77.5-degree August; rain recorded at COVINA CITY YARD FC387B 3 miles away and temperatures at POMONA/FAIRPLEX 8.4 miles away. February is the wettest month at 4.32 inches of a 16.74-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the whole year's rain comes in a few storms; a cover with almost no fall carries a heavy storm slowly and backs it up at the top.

What tends to go wrong in West Covina

  • A cover fixed into the fascia, so the attachment is into the roof edge rather than the wall
  • Very little fall across it, so water stands at the high side during heavy rain
  • Fascia and rafter ends taking water, so the damage is at the edge of the main roof

Frequently asked questions

How does a patio cover damage the main roof?

Through where it is fixed. The cover hangs off the fascia board at the roof edge, screwed into it along its whole length, and it is pitched so gently that a heavy storm backs water up at that top edge. It sits against the fascia and soaks into the rafter ends.

Why does it only happen in a big storm?

Because the fall is just enough for ordinary rain. Light rain runs off and nothing happens, and a February downpour arrives faster than the cover can shed it, so water stands along the top edge for as long as the storm lasts and finds the screw holes.

Does the cover have to come off to repair the fascia?

Usually a length of it does, which surprises people. The rafter tails and fascia behind it cannot be replaced with the cover hanging on them, so a piece of work that looks like trim repair involves taking down and refitting part of the structure.
