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 Roswell drying job

Roswell homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or out in Roswell Towneship, Legacy Village, and Pine Hurst. Panels have gone onto a great many of these roofs, and every one of them is fixed through the covering.

Construction you will find here

Ask when the houses in Roswell were built and the answer is 1989 at the median, 54.8 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1989 with over half the stock older, a growing share of these houses now carries an array on the main roof slope, mounted on rails that are bolted down into the rafters through the shingles.

Conditions for drying

March brings 4.96 of the 53.48 inches Roswell sees in a normal year, and July averages 79.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at MARIETTA 8.3 NE 4.1 miles away and temperatures at ATLANTA PEACHTREE AP 11.7 miles away. March is the wettest month at 4.96 inches of a 53.48-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the roof is wetted through a long season; a mount installed into a roof already halfway through its life has to stay sealed for the rest of it.

What tends to go wrong in Roswell

  • Dozens of penetrations added to a roof that was not opened for anything else
  • Seals whose life depends on the installation rather than on the material
  • Panels covering the area beneath them, so nothing about that slope can be inspected

Frequently asked questions

Do roof mounts leak?

They do when they are done badly, and the failure is not visible from the ground. Each mount is a lag bolt through the shingles into a rafter, sealed with a flashing that should be woven into the covering. Where sealant alone was used instead, it lasts a few years and then the penetration is open.

How would a leak at a mount show itself?

From inside, usually. Water entering at a mount runs down the underside of the deck and shows as a stain on the attic sheathing or a ceiling below, some distance from the point of entry. The panels themselves hide the roof surface, so nothing is apparent from outside at all.

What happens when the roof needs replacing?

The array comes off and goes back on, which is a cost worth knowing about in advance. It is also the one opportunity to see the deck under the panels. Where an installation went onto an older roof, that deck has frequently been taking water at a mount for years, and this is when it is found.
