Drying, stage by stage

Sequence beats equipment on a wet building. The stages below come from IICRC S500 - all of them the contractor's work, each one setting the size of the next.

  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 drying a building in Arnoldsville involves

When a floor is wet in Arnoldsville, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. Bare granite outcrops break through the ground here, and rain that lands on rock has to go somewhere else.

What the houses are made of

The typical Arnoldsville house dates to 1985, with roughly two thirds of the stock (63 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1980s work. Around a median of 1985 with six in ten houses older, the properties sit in country where the granite comes to the surface in broad flat outcrops with very little soil on or around them.

Drying conditions

June brings 5.5 of the 49.63 inches Arnoldsville sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at ARNOLDSVILLE 3.7 SSW 4 miles away and temperatures at WINTERVILLE 5.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.5 inches of a 50-inch year and one month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain falls in early summer; an outcrop sheds every drop of that onto the thin soil at its edge.

How water losses tend to end in Arnoldsville

  • Bare rock shedding completely, so runoff is concentrated at the margins of each outcrop
  • Very thin soil beside it, so the ground receiving that flow has almost no capacity
  • Rock at shallow depth generally, so there is nowhere for a soakaway to discharge

Six water services lead and two mold services follow, because mold is the end of a drying job rather than a separate one. Independent Arnoldsville contractors do both.

Frequently asked questions

How much water comes off an outcrop?

All of it. Bare granite absorbs nothing, so every inch that falls on it runs to the edge, and a broad flat outcrop uphill of a house delivers the rainfall of its whole area onto the strip of soil at its margin.

Why is the soil beside it so poor?

Because there is very little of it. Soil forms slowly on granite and washes off the margins as fast as it forms, so the ground taking that concentrated flow is a few inches deep over more rock, with almost no capacity to absorb.

What kind of drainage works here?

Interception and piping to an outlet, since there is nothing to soak into. A pit dug beside an outcrop hits rock within a foot or two, so the approach is catching the flow at the rock edge and carrying it away on the surface.
