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 Littleton involves

When a floor is wet in Littleton, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. A radon system runs under the slab in a great many of these houses, with a pipe and a fan drawing on the ground.

What the houses are made of

66.8 percent of Littleton's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1982, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1982 with two thirds of the stock older, a large share of the houses have had a mitigation system fitted, which means a pipe set into the gravel beneath the basement floor and a fan pulling air continuously out of the ground below.

Drying conditions

May brings 2.56 of the 18.68 inches Littleton sees in a normal year, and July averages 73 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at DENVER 9.4 S 2.5 miles away and temperatures at MARSTON FLTR PLT 3.2 miles away. May is the wettest month at 2.56 inches of an 18.68-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the ground beneath is dry for most of the year; a system drawing on it steadily behaves differently in the few weeks when it is not.

How water losses tend to end in Littleton

  • A fan drawing continuously on the ground under the floor, so anything down there is pulled toward the house
  • A pipe through the slab, so there is a deliberate opening between the ground and the basement
  • A system nobody turns off, so it keeps running through a wet spell and through a loss

Water Damage Restoration services in Littleton

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

Frequently asked questions

What does the radon fan actually do?

It pulls air out of the gravel under the basement floor and sends it up a pipe to the roof, so the ground beneath the house is kept at a slightly lower pressure than the rooms above. It runs continuously, year in and year out.

Does it matter during a water loss?

It can help and it can hinder, and which one depends on where the water is. A fan drawing on saturated ground under a slab pulls moisture toward the building rather than away, so it is worth deciding deliberately whether to leave it running.

Should the system be checked afterward?

Yes, and it is easy to overlook. The pipe passes through the slab, so a floor that has been opened, cut or resealed may have disturbed the seal around it. A quick look at that penetration belongs on the list before the floor goes back.
