From standing water to a dry structure

This is the order IICRC S500 describes, and the order matters more than the machines. Each stage belongs to the contractor, and each one governs the stage after it.

  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.

Drying a Henderson building: what it takes

When a floor is wet in Henderson, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Audubon. The river bank here caves rather than erodes, taking a slice of ground at a time when the water drops.

The local building stock

Roughly 10,055 of Henderson's 13,585 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1974; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1974 with three quarters of the stock older, the properties along the river sit on a bank of fine material that fails in blocks rather than washing away gradually.

What the weather does to a drying run

A normal year here delivers 48.49 inches, 5.27 of them in April, against a warm season that peaks at 77.4 degrees in July; rain recorded at HENDERSON 0.4 SSW 0.4 miles away and temperatures at HENDERSON STATE POLICE 3.2 miles away. April is the wettest month at 5.27 inches of a 48-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the river is highest in spring; the bank fails not when the water is up but in the days after it falls again.

Where Henderson losses usually finish

  • Ground lost in blocks rather than gradually, so the change is sudden when it comes
  • Failure after the flood rather than during it, so the risk continues once the water has gone
  • A bank that retreats toward the properties, so what is lost is not recovered

Frequently asked questions

Why does the bank fail after the water drops?

Because the water in the bank is what holds it up while the river is high, and when the river falls quickly the ground is still saturated with nothing supporting it from outside. That is when a slice of it goes, often days after the flood has passed.

How much goes at once?

A block rather than a layer. This kind of bank fails along a curved surface, so a section of ground several feet wide drops and rotates as a piece. It is the reason a bank can be unchanged for years and then lose a considerable amount overnight.

What should be watched for?

Cracks running parallel to the top of the bank, which are the first sign that a block is preparing to move. They open before anything drops, so a crack in the lawn on a line parallel to the water is worth taking seriously straight away.
