The order a drying job runs in

Equipment matters less than sequence. IICRC S500 sets out these stages, each of them the contractor's to carry out, and each one sizing the stage that follows it.

  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.

Drying conditions particular to Deltona

When a floor is wet in Deltona, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Portland Industrial Park. The line feeding the ice maker is the one supply in these houses that runs to something nobody ever moves.

What is behind the walls here

56.2 percent of Deltona's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1988, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1988 with over half the stock older, these are block houses with a kitchen built to a standard plan, and the refrigerator recess in it has a small supply line run to the back wall for ice and chilled water.

The drying weather

A normal year here delivers 51.77 inches, 7.97 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 83 degrees in July; rain recorded at DE BARY 1.7 NE 5.1 miles away and temperatures at SANFORD 7.4 miles away. July is the wettest month at 7.97 inches of a 51.77-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so weather is rarely what puts water inside a house here; the losses that matter start at a fitting somewhere in the building.

Where these losses tend to land

  • A supply line behind an appliance that is never pulled out, so nothing about its condition is ever seen
  • Plastic tubing and a saddle fitting doing the same job as copper elsewhere in the house
  • Water discharging under a cabinet run and into the neighboring rooms before it reaches open floor

Frequently asked questions

Why is the ice maker line such a common source?

Because of what it is made of and where it sits. Most of these were run in small plastic tubing with a push-fit or saddle connection, then pushed back against the wall behind a heavy appliance. Nothing is inspected, nothing is replaced, and the fitting spends thirty years under full pressure in the dark.

How does a small line cause a large loss?

By running unnoticed. The discharge is modest, but it is continuous and it starts under the cabinets rather than in the open. Water travels along the floor beneath the cabinet run and out into adjoining rooms, so by the time it shows at the edge of the kitchen it has been under the units for some time.

Is the ice maker line worth replacing?

Replacing the tubing with a braided line and fitting a valve you can actually reach. Both are inexpensive, and pulling the refrigerator out once every few years to look at the connection is the only inspection this part of the plumbing ever gets. It is the cheapest failure in the house to prevent.
