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 Everett involves

When a floor is wet in Everett, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Admirals Hill. Gas storage tanks stand on the waterfront here, and the ground around them is bunded, monitored and off limits.

What the houses are made of

Roughly 16,205 of Everett's 18,827 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1938; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1938 with more than eight in ten buildings older, the dense residential streets run up against a working energy terminal, so ordinary housing adjoins a heavily regulated industrial site.

Drying conditions

December brings 5.19 of the 50.54 inches Everett sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at CHELSEA 0.8 N 1 miles away and temperatures at BOSTON LOGAN INTL AP 3.9 miles away. December is the wettest month at 5.19 inches of a 51-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in the coldest part of the year; a bunded site collects that and releases it deliberately.

How water losses tend to end in Everett

  • A contained site releasing on a schedule, so discharge is concentrated rather than continuous
  • Restricted ground, so the drainage next door cannot be inspected by anyone local
  • Dense housing right up to the line, so there is no buffer between the two

Water Damage Restoration services in Everett

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

Frequently asked questions

What sits on the other side of the fence?

A working energy terminal with large storage tanks, each inside a bund designed to contain a spill. That bunding contains rainfall as well, so the site collects an enormous volume and has to test and release it rather than shedding it.

Does that affect the streets alongside?

It can, because the release is concentrated. A bund emptied after a wet December discharges a large volume over a short period into drainage that also serves the housing, which was not necessarily sized for both at once. The drainage those streets depend on was laid long before the terminal reached its current size.

Is there information available?

A great deal, because sites like this are monitored closely and the records are public. For a household with a recurring drainage problem at that boundary, that is unusually good evidence compared with most neighbor disputes. Sites like this publish their monitoring, which makes the evidence unusually easy to obtain here.
