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.

Loveland: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Loveland, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Waterfront, Hunter's Run, and Emerald Glen. The subdivisions here back onto old gravel pits that filled with water, and those pits hold the water table up.

How these houses are built

Roughly 15,579 of Loveland's 35,143 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1993; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median of 1993 and under half the stock older, a great deal of the newer housing was built around worked-out gravel workings that were left to fill, so the neighborhoods sit beside permanent bodies of standing water.

The climate a job dries in

On the 1991–2020 normals, Loveland gets 15.49 inches a year with May heaviest at 2.75, and the drying season runs from a 28.4-degree January to a 71.9-degree July; rain recorded at LOVELAND 3.0 NNE 1.6 miles away and temperatures at LOVELAND 2N 1.7 miles away. May is the wettest month at 2.75 inches of a 15.49-inch year and six months average a low below freezing, so rainfall contributes very little; the level in these pits is set by the river and the ditches feeding them instead.

The way a loss ends here

  • A permanent water body beside the houses, so the ground water level is fixed by it
  • Pits dug into the river gravels, so they are directly connected to the aquifer
  • A level that rises with the river, so the timing follows the mountains rather than the weather

Frequently asked questions

What are the lakes around these neighborhoods?

Worked-out gravel pits. The river gravels here were quarried for decades and the holes left behind were allowed to fill, so what looks like an ornamental lake is an excavation that went below the water table and is now open to it.

Why does that affect a basement several lots back?

Because the pit and the ground water are the same body. Digging into the river gravels opened a direct connection to the aquifer, so the level in the pit is the level under the surrounding neighborhood, not just at the water's edge.

What sets that level?

The river and the ditches, which means it is highest in late spring when the mountain snow is coming down. A basement here responds to the runoff season rather than to rainfall, and that is predictable enough to prepare for.
