The four stages of a drying job

What the IICRC S500 standard lays out, in sequence. The equipment is the easy part; the order is what decides how much of each later stage there is to do.

  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.

Roselle: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Roselle, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Medinah and Keeneyville. The subdivision drains to a retention pond, and the level of that pond is the level the basements sit at.

How these houses are built

Roughly 6,766 of Roselle's 8,909 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1977; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1977 with three quarters of the stock older, the subdivisions were built with a pond to hold storm water, and the houses around it have basements dug to a depth that is close to the level that water is held at.

The climate a job dries in

A normal year here delivers 39.02 inches, 5.16 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 74.1 degrees in July; rain recorded at ROSELLE 1.2 ESE 1.4 miles away and temperatures at STREAMWOOD 5.7 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a thirty-nine inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring; the pond is designed to rise in exactly those events, and the ground water around it rises with it.

The way a loss ends here

  • A basement at much the same level as the water held nearby, so the margin is small and seasonal
  • A pond designed to rise, so the condition that wets the basements is the system working correctly
  • Ground water linked to the pond level, so the timing follows the storm rather than the roof

Frequently asked questions

How does the pond reach the basement?

Through the ground rather than over it. The pond holds storm water at a level close to the depth these basements were dug to, so when it rises the water table around it rises as well, and the foundations nearest it are then below the surrounding water.

Is the pond working properly?

Usually yes, which is the awkward part. It is built to fill during a storm and let the water away slowly afterward, so the rise that wets the basements is the system doing its job. There is nothing to repair and nothing anybody has done wrong.

What is the sensible approach for a basement here?

Drainage and a pump sized for a seasonal rise, and finishes chosen on the understanding that the level outside will come up a few times a year. Treating it as an occasional accident rather than a recurring condition is what leads to the same work twice.
