What happens between the call and the rebuild

Four stages, in one order, described by the IICRC S500 standard. The contractor does each; how well each is done decides how much work the next one carries.

  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.

What a wet building in Alpharetta asks of a contractor

From Sterling Heights, Lake Union Hill, and Jamestowne to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Alpharetta go to an independent local contractor. Water features are built into these subdivisions, and a fountain or a stream is a lined pond that has to hold.

The materials in these houses

Only 70.3 percent of Alpharetta's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1996 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1996 and under a third of the stock older, the developments were sold on landscaped water: recirculating streams, fountains and lined ponds at the entrances and along the common areas.

Weather that sets the pace

July brings 5.65 of the 54.98 inches Alpharetta sees in a normal year, and July averages 79.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at JOHNS CREEK 3.0 SSW 5.5 miles away and temperatures at ATLANTA PEACHTREE AP 13.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.65 inches of a 55-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so these run year-round and are topped up continuously; a liner that has failed is topped up rather than noticed.

How the losses here usually end

  • A lined feature that loses water into the ground, so the loss is invisible and continuous
  • Automatic top-up, so a leak is replaced as fast as it escapes
  • Features close to houses, so what escapes goes into the ground beside a foundation

Frequently asked questions

How does a decorative pond cause a problem?

By leaking into the ground rather than drying up. These features are lined and fed by an automatic top-up, so a split liner does not empty the pond; it quietly puts water into the soil around it while the level stays exactly where it should.

How would anyone find out?

From the water bill for the common area, which is the only place it shows. A feature that has started using noticeably more make-up water is leaking, and that figure is in the association's accounts if anyone looks at it.

What does a leaking feature do to the houses nearby?

Keeps the ground beside them wetter than it should be, continuously and regardless of the weather. A property whose basement went wet in a dry spell and sits near one of these features is worth investigating in that direction first.
