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 Lawrenceville involves

When a floor is wet in Lawrenceville, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to SouthLawn, City View, and Thompson Square. The entry on these houses is two stories high with a wall of glass above the door, and nothing up there is reachable.

What the houses are made of

54.3 percent of Lawrenceville's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1988, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1988 with just over half the stock older, the standard elevation puts a double-height foyer at the front with a tall window or a stack of them above the entrance, set into a wall that runs the full height of the house.

Drying conditions

Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 78.6 degrees against 43.1; the 53.53 inches a year peak in August at 5.05, rain recorded at LAWRENCEVILLE 4.2 SW 4.4 miles away and temperatures at WINDER 4S 15.4 miles away. August is the wettest month at 5.05 inches of a 54-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so heavy rain falls in the hottest part of the year onto a tall wall; sealant on a south-facing elevation ages under that sun and fails on its own schedule.

How water losses tend to end in Lawrenceville

  • Glazing two stories up, so nothing about it can be inspected or maintained from the ground
  • Water entering high and running the full height, so it appears at the floor of the entry
  • A tall open space inside, so a loss involves finishes that need a lift to reach

Frequently asked questions

Why is the foyer window a problem?

Because of where it is rather than what it is. It sits two stories up in a wall nobody can reach, so the sealant around it has never been touched since the house was built. On a sun-facing elevation here that material is well past its life.

Where does the foyer water come out?

At the bottom. Water entering at a window head twenty feet up runs down inside the wall and appears at the foyer floor or in the room behind it, so the damage is at ground level and the fault is at the top of the house.

What makes this work awkward?

Access, more than anything technical. Drying a two-story wall and putting its finishes back means scaffolding or a lift inside the house, and that has to be planned rather than discovered. It is the part of the job that sets the schedule.
