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 Greenwood Village involves

When a floor is wet in Greenwood Village, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Denver Tech Center. A number of these houses have an enclosed pool or spa room, which puts a body of warm water inside the building.

What the houses are made of

Roughly 2,858 of Greenwood Village's 6,938 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1994; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median of 1994 and under half the stock older, the larger houses here were built with an indoor pool or a spa in its own room, which means a heated body of water and a permanently humid space enclosed within the heated envelope of the house.

Drying conditions

6 months in Greenwood Village have normal lows below freezing, December the coldest at 16.8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 2.36 inches of an annual 17.94; rain recorded at CENTENNIAL 3.7 W 1.5 miles away and temperatures at CHERRY CREEK DAM 4.3 miles away. May is the wettest month at under two and a half inches of an eighteen inch year and six months average a low below freezing, so the outdoor air is dry and cold for half the year; a humid room inside that building has the largest difference across its walls of anything in the house.

How water losses tend to end in Greenwood Village

  • A permanently humid room inside a dry building, so the difference across its walls is extreme all winter
  • Warm moist air reaching cold surfaces in the surrounding structure, so condensation forms outside the room
  • A space designed to be wet, so nobody treats its humidity as a fault until damage appears elsewhere

Frequently asked questions

Why does a pool room damage the rest of the house?

Because of what it pushes outward. A heated pool keeps a room permanently humid, and in a climate with six freezing months the walls and ceiling around it are cold on the other side, so that moisture reaches cold surfaces in the surrounding structure and condenses there.

Where does the damage usually show?

Outside the room rather than in it. The pool room itself is built to be wet and generally copes; what suffers is the framing in the walls and ceiling around it and the rooms on the far side of those, where nothing is designed for that load.

What is checked first?

Whether the room is being ventilated as it was meant to be. These are built with equipment to control the humidity, and when that stops working or is turned off to save running it, the room starts exporting moisture into the building. That is usually the whole story.
