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.

Delray Beach: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Delray Beach, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Old School Square and Marina. Impact glazing has been fitted across a great deal of this stock, and it changed how the openings drain.

How these houses are built

66.2 percent of Delray Beach's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1983, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1983 with two thirds of the stock older, most of the housing has had its windows and doors replaced with impact-rated units, fitted into openings that were formed for something quite different.

The climate a job dries in

A normal year here delivers 65.64 inches, 8.54 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 82.3 degrees in August; rain recorded at DELRAY BEACH 1.6 WSW 1.6 miles away and temperatures at LOXAHATCHEE NWR 8.3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 8.54 inches of a 66-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the openings take heavy driven rain through a long season; a unit fitted into an old opening meets that at the joint around it.

The way a loss ends here

  • New units in old openings, so the perimeter detail is a retrofit rather than an original
  • Heavier frames sitting deeper, so the drainage path out of the opening has changed
  • Work done across a whole house at once, so the same detail repeats at every window

Frequently asked questions

What changes when impact windows go in?

The opening as much as the glass. The new units are heavier and thicker than what they replace, so they sit differently in the wall, and the way water that gets into the opening finds its way back out depends entirely on how that perimeter was detailed.

Where does the water actually get in?

At the perimeter rather than through the unit. The glazing itself is sound; what leaks is the joint between the new frame and the old opening, particularly at the bottom corners, where sealant is doing the work a flashing should do.

Is there a way to check the installation?

Looking at the sill from outside tells you a good deal. A unit fitted with a proper sill pan and an end dam will show a drainage path; one bedded in sealant alone will not. It is worth knowing before a wall is opened up.
