How a wet building gets dry again

The order matters more than the equipment. These are the stages the IICRC S500 drying standard describes; each is the contractor's work, and each decides how much of the next there is.

  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.

Inside a Lake Worth Beach drying job

Lake Worth Beach homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or out in Lake Mango Shores. A cast concrete hood projects over each window on these older houses, and the steel inside it has been rusting for decades.

Construction you will find here

The typical Lake Worth Beach house dates to 1969, with over four fifths of the stock (82.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1960s work. Around a median of 1969 with more than eight in ten houses older, the masonry stock carries a projecting concrete eyebrow above each opening, cast in place with steel bars inside it to hold the overhang out from the wall.

Conditions for drying

A normal year here delivers 63.69 inches, 9.41 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 83.2 degrees in August; rain recorded at LAKE WORTH 1.0 NNW 1 miles away and temperatures at WEST PALM BEACH INTL AP 5.1 miles away. June is the wettest month at 9.41 inches of a 64-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the concrete is wetted heavily through a long warm season; steel cast into concrete in those conditions corrodes without ever drying out.

What tends to go wrong in Lake Worth Beach

  • Steel corroding inside concrete, so the hood cracks from within rather than wearing from outside
  • A crack directly above a window, so what comes through arrives at the head of the opening
  • An element that looks solid, because concrete gives no warning until it splits

Frequently asked questions

What is the concrete ledge above the window?

A cast hood, poured with the wall to throw rain clear of the opening below. It has steel bars inside it, because concrete alone could not hold that overhang out from the wall, and those bars are what eventually cause the trouble.

Why does it crack along the underside?

Because rusting steel swells. Bars cast into concrete that stays damp corrode slowly and take up more room as they do, which splits the concrete from the inside out. The crack opens along the line of the steel, which runs the length of the hood.

Is patching the crack enough?

Only for a while, and it is worth knowing that before paying for it. Filling the crack leaves the corroding steel inside doing what it was doing, so the proper repair exposes the bars, treats them and recasts, which is a different order of work.
