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.

Conyers: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Conyers, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Iris Brook. Water heaters sit in attached garages poured level with the house, so a tank failure runs inward across the slab instead of out the door.

How these houses are built

Roughly 4,231 of Conyers's 8,003 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1989; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Just over half the stock predates 1990 around a median of 1989, single-story slab houses with the garage on the same pour as the living space, so a tank that lets go at the back wall of the garage sends water under the common wall and into carpeted rooms before it finds the driveway.

The climate a job dries in

A normal year here delivers 51.13 inches, 4.84 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 79.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at COVINGTON 2.4 SW 8.4 miles away and temperatures at COVINGTON 9.1 miles away. The heaviest rain falls in December and no month averages a freezing low, so the wet half of the year is the mild half and a building is neither frozen nor baked; drying runs here are steady rather than seasonal, and they depend on equipment rather than on any month's weather.

The way a loss ends here

  • Garage slabs poured level with the house, so a water heater failure travels inward under the common wall rather than out to the driveway
  • Tanks standing in an unconditioned garage where nobody looks, so a slow weep runs for days before a wet carpet edge gives it away
  • Carpet laid up to the garage wall with no transition, so the pad wicks water several rooms deep before anything is visible

Frequently asked questions

The heater is in the garage. Why is the house being dried?

Because the garage floor and the house floor are one pour. There is no step and no barrier at the common wall, so water spreads under the bottom plate and into the pad on the other side. The garage itself is usually the easy part; the rooms behind that wall are where the pad comes out and the equipment goes.

How long does a carpeted slab take to dry after a tank failure?

About a week once the pad is out, a fortnight if it was left down. A tank holds forty or fifty gallons and puts all of it on the floor at once, so the concrete takes up water across a wide area. The readings fall quickly for three days and then slow, and it is the slow part that sets the finish date.

What gets done first when the water is found hours after it started?

Stop the supply, get the standing water off, then lift the covering. Extraction through carpet removes only a fraction of what is in the pad, so the pad comes out early rather than late. Base and door casings come off next so the wall bottoms can be read, and equipment is set once the scope of the wet area is actually known.
