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 Broomfield involves

Water damage restoration by an independent local contractor covers Broomfield together with Anthem, Preble Creek, and Brandywine. New basements here are roughed in for a bathroom that was never built, and a capped stub below the slab is what fails.

What the houses are made of

The typical Broomfield house dates to 2002, with under a third of the stock (28.4 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 2000s work. With a median build year of 2002 and under three in ten homes older, the newer houses have unfinished lower levels with drain and supply stubbed up through the floor for a bathroom the owner intends to add one day, and those capped stubs sit below the slab where nothing is inspected and nothing is visible.

Drying conditions

On the 1991–2020 normals, Broomfield gets 17.8 inches a year with May heaviest at 2.53, and the drying season runs from a 33.3-degree December to a 75-degree July; rain recorded at BROOMFIELD 0.9 SSW 1.7 miles away and temperatures at NORTHGLENN 4.3 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing put the split season from November into March, and under eighteen inches falls in a whole year, so the air is dry and helpful once a space is open; the difficulty here is that the failure is under the floor where the air cannot reach it.

How water losses tend to end in Broomfield

  • Capped stubs under the slab from a bathroom that was never finished, so a failure is below the floor with no fixture above it to explain the water
  • Unfinished basements where nobody looks, so a slow subslab loss runs for months before it surfaces
  • Dry air above the floor finishing surfaces quickly, so the room reads fine while the concrete around the stub is wet

Frequently asked questions

There is a damp patch in the basement floor and no fixtures near it. Why?

Check whether the lower level was roughed in for a bathroom. Builders commonly stub drain and supply up through the slab for a future fit-out and cap them, and those caps sit under the floor where nothing is inspected. A failed one puts water into the ground beneath the slab with no fixture above it to point at.

How much of the floor has to come up?

Enough to reach the stub and enough to give the concrete an open face. That is usually a patch around the failure rather than a room, but the wet area under the slab is mapped first with readings across the floor, because water beneath spreads further than the opening needs to be.

The room feels completely dry. Is the job finished?

Not on how it feels. Air this dry finishes exposed surfaces within a day, which is exactly why these losses go unnoticed for months. The concrete is read with a meter suited to it, at several points, on consecutive days, and the numbers have to stop moving before the patch goes back.
