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 Greenwood involves

When a floor is wet in Greenwood, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Featherstone 2 and Homecoming at University Park. A county drain runs through the back yards here, a legal watercourse that the householder is not free to alter.

What the houses are made of

38.6 percent of Greenwood's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1996, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With a median of 1996 and under four in ten houses predating 1990, the subdivisions were laid out across farmland whose drainage was already established as a regulated county drain, and those channels were kept and built around.

Drying conditions

Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 74 degrees against 26.6; the 46.72 inches a year peak in June at 5.18, rain recorded at GREENWOOD 4.6 SW 4.4 miles away and temperatures at INDIANAPOLIS SE SIDE 8.1 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.18 inches of a 46-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer when the channel is full of growth; a watercourse nobody may clear is at its least effective then.

How water losses tend to end in Greenwood

  • A watercourse crossing private yards, so the drainage is on the property but not the property's
  • Maintenance controlled by the county, so clearing it is not the householder's to arrange
  • A channel serving land well beyond the subdivision, so its load has nothing to do with these roofs

Water Damage Restoration services in Greenwood

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

Frequently asked questions

What is a county drain?

A watercourse formally established to drain agricultural land, with its own legal status and a public body responsible for it. The subdivisions were built around the existing ones, so a channel crossing a back yard here is usually one of them.

Can it be cleared or moved?

Not by the householder. It has legal protection and an authority responsible for maintaining it, so cutting, filling, piping or diverting it is not something a property owner may do, however obvious the improvement looks. Requests go through the drainage board.

Who should be contacted when it backs up?

The county surveyor's office, which holds the records and schedules the maintenance. That is worth knowing in advance, because the useful action during a wet June is a call rather than a shovel, and the response is quicker when the drain can be named.
