How a wet building gets dry again

The order matters more than the equipment. These are the stages the IICRC S500 drying standard describes; each is the contractor's work, and each decides how much of the next there is.

  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.

Inside a Kennesaw drying job

Kennesaw homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or out in Prichard Park, Whispering Lake, and North Bridge Trace. The topsoil was scraped off these lots and sold, so the sod sits on compacted clay that sheds rain rather than taking it.

Construction you will find here

Ask when the houses in Kennesaw were built and the answer is 1998 at the median, 24.5 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 1998 and only a quarter of the stock predating 1990, the subdivisions were cut into red clay hillsides and the topsoil went off the site, leaving grass laid over subgrade that was rolled hard for building.

Conditions for drying

A normal year here delivers 53.64 inches, 5.37 of them in March, against a warm season that peaks at 79.2 degrees in July; rain recorded at KENNESAW 5.6 SW 5.8 miles away and temperatures at DALLAS 7 NE 7.9 miles away. March is the wettest month at 5.37 inches of a 54-inch year with only one month averaging a freeze, so heavy rain arrives in a cool season with the grass barely growing; ground that cannot absorb sends the whole of it across the surface.

What tends to go wrong in Kennesaw

  • A lawn with nothing under it, so rain runs off turf the way it runs off pavement
  • Slopes cut for building, so the sheet of water has a fall and a direction before it reaches anything
  • New houses with a ground problem, so the building is sound and the site is not

Frequently asked questions

Why does the lawn not soak up the rain?

Because there is very little soil in it. The topsoil was stripped and sold when the subdivision was cut, and what is under the grass is clay that was compacted to build on. Water lands on it and runs, in the way it runs off a drive.

What can be done about a lot like this?

Getting real depth of soil back into the ground next to the house changes it more than anything else. Aerating and building up the bed around the foundation gives water somewhere to go in the first few feet, which is the part that matters to the building.

Is a newer house better off in a storm?

Not necessarily, and people are often surprised by that. The house itself is in good order, and the reason water is at the door has nothing to do with its age. A twenty-five-year-old house on stripped ground takes more than an old one on settled soil.
