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.

Greeley: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Greeley, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Spanish Colony. Irrigation ditches run through this town, and when they are charged in spring the ground water rises under the houses.

How these houses are built

Roughly 22,887 of Greeley's 41,784 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1985; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1985 with a little over half the stock older, the housing sits among a network of irrigation ditches that were here before most of it was built, and those channels run water through the town for the growing season rather than only after rain.

The climate a job dries in

5 months in Greeley have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 17.5 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 2.94 inches of an annual 14.43; rain recorded at GREELEY 4.4 W 1 miles away and temperatures at GREELEY UNC 4 miles away. May is the wettest month at under three inches of a fourteen inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so almost no water arrives from the sky; what raises the ground here is the ditches being charged in spring, and they stay charged through the summer.

The way a loss ends here

  • Open channels carrying water through the town for months, so the ground is recharged on a schedule rather than by weather
  • A water table that rises when the ditches run, so basements take water in dry weather and stay dry in wet
  • A source nobody associates with the building, so the timing is put down to something else

Frequently asked questions

Why is the basement wet in a dry summer?

Because the water is not coming from the sky. There are irrigation ditches running through the town, and when they are charged for the season the ground water beneath the houses comes up with them. A basement can be at its wettest in weeks when nothing has fallen at all.

What pattern points to the ditches?

The calendar rather than the weather. Water appearing when the ditches are charged and going away when they are shut off, regardless of rainfall, is the signature, and it repeats every year on roughly the same dates. Comparing two seasons usually settles it.

Can anything be done about the ditches?

Not to the ditches, which is the honest answer. They predate most of the housing and they are not the household's to change, so the work is on the building: drainage, a pump and finishes that tolerate a seasonal rise. It is managed rather than stopped.
