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.

New Port Richey East: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in New Port Richey East, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. Most houses have an enclosed carport or a Florida room poured against the original slab, and water finds the joint between the two.

How these houses are built

The typical New Port Richey East house dates to 1984, with about three quarters of the stock (73.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1980s work. Three quarters of the stock predates 1990 and the type is single-story block on slab, much of it added to over the years, so a loss that starts in the original house runs along the cold joint and wets a floor that was never part of the same pour.

The climate a job dries in

No month in New Port Richey East has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 50.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in August at 9.93 inches of an annual 55.56; rain recorded at PORT RICHEY 2.0 NNE 2.9 miles away and temperatures at TARPON SPGS SEWAGE PLT 8.5 miles away. Overnight lows stay in the seventies right through the wet season, so the building never gets the cool night that would let a wall give up moisture on its own, and the drying runs on equipment around the clock rather than in daily cycles.

The way a loss ends here

  • Room additions poured against the original slab, so water crosses the joint and wets a second floor the owner did not think was involved
  • Aluminum-framed Florida rooms with single glazing, so the added room carries its own humidity and slows the drying of every room that opens onto it
  • Terrazzo in the original house and tile in the addition, so the two floors release moisture at different rates and the readings disagree for days

Frequently asked questions

The leak was in the kitchen. Why is the Florida room being dried too?

Because the two floors are separate pours sitting against each other. Water runs along that joint rather than stopping at the old exterior wall, and the added slab is usually thinner and less well sealed underneath. A meter reading in the addition settles it either way, but it gets checked as a matter of course rather than assumed dry.

Does the added room finish at the same time as the rest of the house?

Commonly several days longer. An addition slab is often poured on fill with no vapor barrier under it, so it takes up water more readily and lets it go more slowly. The main house may be finished while the room is still holding. The job is not closed until both sides of the joint hold the same steady numbers.

Does the carport slab have to be opened?

Rarely. Concrete is dried through its open face, not by breaking it, so the covering comes off and air is moved across the surface instead. It gets opened only where a line beneath it has failed and has to be reached. Even then the cut follows the pipe run rather than the wet area, and the rest is dried whole.
