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 Maxeys involves

When a floor is wet in Maxeys, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. The older houses here carry lightning protection, a cable run over the roof and down to the ground at each corner.

What the houses are made of

Ask when the houses in Maxeys were built and the answer is 1973 at the median, 64.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1973 with nearly two thirds predating 1990, a number of these rural houses were fitted with a lightning system at some point, with rods along the ridge, cable over the roof and down the walls, and a ground rod at each corner.

Drying conditions

A normal year here delivers 49.63 inches, 5.5 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 79.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at ARNOLDSVILLE 3.7 SSW 8.3 miles away and temperatures at LEXINGTON 8.7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.5 inches of a 49.63-inch year and one month averages lows below freezing, so summer storms are frequent and violent; the system is there for a real hazard and it is fastened to the roof through the covering.

How water losses tend to end in Maxeys

  • Fastenings through the roof covering along the whole ridge and down the slopes
  • Seals that were made at installation and have had decades of weather since
  • A system nobody inspects, because it is only needed on the day it is needed

Frequently asked questions

Do lightning systems cause leaks?

The fastenings can. Rods and cable clips are fixed through the covering at intervals along the ridge and down the roof, each one sealed at the time. Thirty years later those seals have gone, and a roof that is otherwise sound has a row of small penetrations along its highest lines.

Should the system be removed?

Not on a rural property in this climate, where the hazard is real. The better answer is having it inspected properly, which covers the fastenings and the grounding together. A system that has been re-roofed around, with cable left loose and connections broken, is not protecting anything anyway.

What should happen when the roof is replaced?

The system comes off and goes back on with new fastenings and new seals, by somebody who works on them. What frequently happens instead is that the roofer works around it, which leaves the old penetrations in place under new covering and the cable no longer properly attached.
