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 Kenney involves

When a floor is wet in Kenney, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. Grain bins and farm buildings stand within the village here, so the yards adjoin working agricultural ground.

What the houses are made of

The typical Kenney house dates to 1945, with close to nine in ten of the stock (98.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1940s work. Around a median of 1945 with virtually the whole stock older, the village never separated from the farming around it, so bins, sheds and hard-standing sit among and behind the houses rather than out of town.

Drying conditions

Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 74.6 degrees against 26.1; the 40.8 inches a year peak in May at 4.86, rain recorded at CLINTON 1SSW 6.8 miles away and temperatures at LINCOLN 13.8 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.86 inches of a 41-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring at exactly the busiest time on the ground; a hard yard sheds all of it toward whatever adjoins.

How water losses tend to end in Kenney

  • Large hard-standing areas beside the houses, so runoff volumes are out of scale with the lots
  • Working ground rather than a site, so drainage was never designed for anything
  • Grain dust and chaff in the runoff, so drains block with what comes off

Water Damage Restoration services in Kenney

Six water services lead and two mold services follow, because mold is the end of a drying job rather than a separate one. Independent Kenney contractors do both.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there farm ground inside the village?

Because the village never grew away from it. Bins, machine sheds and the concrete aprons around them sit among the houses rather than on the edge of town, which is normal here and means a residential lot can adjoin a working yard.

What comes off a grain yard?

More water than the area suggests and a good deal of material with it. Concrete aprons shed almost everything that falls on them, and the runoff carries dust, chaff and spilled grain, which settles out and blocks whatever drain it reaches.

Is there a neighbor to raise the yard drainage with?

The operator, and in a village this size that is a neighbor rather than a company. That makes it a conversation rather than a complaint, and a simple change to where a yard drains is usually easier to agree than it would be elsewhere.
