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.

Irvine: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Irvine, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. Springs break out on these hillsides, and a springhouse over one is still handling water that has never stopped.

How these houses are built

Ask when the houses in Irvine were built and the answer is 1961 at the median, 84.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1961 with more than eight in ten houses older, the older properties were sited around reliable springs, and a good many still have the small stone or block springhouse built over the source.

The climate a job dries in

4 months in Irvine have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 22.6 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 5.42 inches of an annual 50.9; both figures recorded at CRESSY, 9.9 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.42 inches of a 51-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the hillsides are recharged through the summer; a spring flows whether or not anybody is still using it.

The way a loss ends here

  • A permanent flow on the property, so there is water moving regardless of the weather
  • An overflow route that was maintained and no longer is, so it finds its own way
  • A structure nobody uses, so the spring is out of mind while it keeps running

Frequently asked questions

What was a springhouse built for?

A small building put over a spring to keep it clean and to use the cold water for storage. Where the house was sited near a reliable spring, which was the usual reason, the structure is still there and the spring is generally still flowing.

What happens when it is abandoned?

The water keeps coming and nobody manages where it goes. The overflow channel that carried it away silts up or is built over, so the flow backs up and finds a new route, frequently toward whatever was built after the springhouse was.

Can a spring be stopped?

Not usefully, and trying tends to make it worse by pushing the water sideways into the ground. The workable approach is capturing it properly and piping it away, which is what the springhouse was doing before it was abandoned. The original channel, where it can still be traced, is generally the right place to put the new pipe.
