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 Hanover Park involves

When a floor is wet in Hanover Park, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Keeneyville and Schick. One attic runs the length of these townhouse rows without a break, so six homes share a single roof space.

What the houses are made of

Only 16.2 percent of Hanover Park's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1976 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1976 with more than eight in ten houses older, the attached rows were framed continuously over the party walls rather than divided at each unit, so the space above the ceilings is one volume from one end to the other.

Drying conditions

June brings 4.72 of the 38.02 inches Hanover Park sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at STREAMWOOD, 3.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.72 inches of a 38-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so a summer roof loss lands on ceilings and a winter one arrives as condensation; both travel the length of a shared space.

How water losses tend to end in Hanover Park

  • A roof space crossing several homes, so a loss above one ceiling is above all of them
  • Access through one unit's hatch, so reaching the wet area may mean entering somebody else's home
  • Air moving freely along the row, so moisture and smell reach households the water never did

Frequently asked questions

Does the attic really run the whole row?

On most of these, yes. The roof was framed straight across the party walls rather than stopping at each unit, so what sits above the ceilings is one continuous space serving six or eight homes with nothing at all dividing it from one end of the row to the other.

What does that mean when the roof leaks?

That the loss is not one household's. Water entering anywhere along the run spreads across the insulation and can come through a ceiling two homes away from where it got in, so the search and the drying both cross the party walls.

Whose hatch does the work go through?

Through whichever unit has the hatch, which is a conversation rather than a technicality. Work often has to happen in a home that has no damage at all, and getting that agreed at the start, usually through the association, saves days.
