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.

Fishers: what the drying job runs into

Water damage restoration by an independent local contractor covers Fishers together with Sumerlin Trails, Estates of Meadow Brook, and Somerset. These houses were built over old farm drainage tile, and the construction cut through that network without anyone mapping it.

How these houses are built

Ask when the houses in Fishers were built and the answer is 2002 at the median, 14.5 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 2002 and barely one house in seven predating 1990, the subdivisions went onto fields that had been drained by a buried tile network for a century, and the roads and foundations were cut through it without the lines being recorded.

The climate a job dries in

On the 1991–2020 normals, Fishers gets 45.91 inches a year with June heaviest at 5.23, and the drying season runs from a 26.6-degree January to a 74.2-degree July; rain recorded at MCCORDSVILLE 2.6 NE 4 miles away and temperatures at CARMEL 3 E 4.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-six inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; a tile network that no longer runs anywhere delivers that water to wherever it was cut.

The way a loss ends here

  • A buried drainage network cut by construction, so lines discharge into the ground at the point they were broken
  • No record of where the tile runs, so nothing about the property indicates it is there
  • Water arriving from well beyond the lot, because the network drained a whole field

Frequently asked questions

What is farm tile doing under a subdivision?

It was there first. These fields were drained by a buried network of clay tile long before anything was built on them, and when the roads and the houses went in that network was cut through rather than removed, so the lines are still in the ground and still collecting.

Where does the water come out?

Wherever the line was broken. A tile run collects from a wide area and carries it along, so when it is cut the water simply discharges into the ground at that point, which can be against a foundation or under a slab with no visible source anywhere near.

How is severed tile identified?

By the volume and the timing rather than by finding the pipe. Water arriving steadily after rain in quantities no single lot could produce, from a direction with nothing uphill, is the signature. Excavating to find the line is a last resort and it often fails.
