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.

Johns Creek: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Johns Creek, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Randolph Hall, Country Lake, and Enclave at Parsons. These houses have a media room built as a sealed box, so there is a closed room inside the basement.

How these houses are built

Only 72.9 percent of Johns Creek's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1995 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1995 and only a quarter of the stock older, a great many of the finished basements include a room built for sound: double walls, packed insulation, a sealed door and no vent, which makes it a box within the basement rather than part of it.

The climate a job dries in

A normal year here delivers 54.98 inches, 5.65 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 79.6 degrees in July; rain recorded at JOHNS CREEK 3.0 SSW 0.8 miles away and temperatures at ATLANTA PEACHTREE AP 12.3 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a fifty-five inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season is warm and long; a sealed room inside a basement holds whatever is in it through all of that, because nothing moves through it.

The way a loss ends here

  • A room built to be airtight for sound, so it has no ventilation and no exchange with the rest of the basement
  • Double walls packed with insulation, so there is far more material to hold water than an ordinary partition
  • A sealed door, so the room can be wet while the basement around it reads normally

Frequently asked questions

Why is this room worse than the rest of the basement?

Because it was built not to breathe. A room made for sound has double walls, packed insulation and a sealed door, and none of that lets air move, so moisture that gets in stays in and the space around it gives no indication at all.

How much has to come out?

More than in a normal room, because there is more in the walls. Two leaves of framing with insulation packed between them hold a great deal, and none of it dries in place behind a sealed finish, so the removal is deeper than the visible damage suggests.

Does it go back the same way?

That is worth discussing rather than assuming. Rebuilding it exactly as it was recreates a sealed box in a basement, which is fine until the next time. A small amount of controlled ventilation changes very little about the sound and a great deal about the risk.
