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 Danville involves

When a floor is wet in Danville, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. There is no cricket behind these chimneys, so the uphill side of the stack dams whatever comes down the roof.

What the houses are made of

Roughly 5,343 of Danville's 7,437 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1975; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1975 with about seven in ten houses older, the chimneys come through the roof slope rather than at the ridge, and most were built without the small ridged structure behind them that divides water and sends it round each side.

Drying conditions

3 months in Danville have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 23.3 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 5 inches of an annual 47.85; both figures recorded at DANVILLE, 1 miles away. July is the wettest month at five inches of a forty-eight inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer and snow sits behind the stack in winter; the uphill side of a chimney takes both with nothing to divide them.

How water losses tend to end in Danville

  • No cricket behind the stack, so water and snow are dammed against the uphill side rather than divided
  • A flashing detail asked to hold standing water, so it fails on duration rather than on volume
  • Debris collecting in the same place, so the dam builds itself higher each season

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

Frequently asked questions

What is a cricket and why does it matter?

A small ridged structure built behind a chimney on a sloping roof to split the water coming down and send it round each side. Without one, everything running down that slope arrives at the back of the stack and stops there, held by the flashing.

Why does the flashing fail if it is sound?

Because it is being asked to hold rather than shed. Flashing works by directing water past a junction quickly; standing against it for hours, and under snow for weeks, is a different demand entirely, and the seams give up on duration rather than volume.

Can one be added afterward?

It can, and on a chimney of any width it is the right answer rather than better flashing. Building the cricket changes what the detail is being asked to do, where reflashing the same situation puts a better version of the same failure back on the roof.
