How a wet building gets dry again

The order matters more than the equipment. These are the stages the IICRC S500 drying standard describes; each is the contractor's work, and each decides how much of the next there is.

  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.

Inside a Maple Grove drying job

From Shadow Creek and Chapel Wood to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Maple Grove go to an independent local contractor. Snow carried in on vehicles melts on the garage slab all winter, and it collects against the wall shared with the house.

Construction you will find here

Ask when the houses in Maple Grove were built and the answer is 1991 at the median, 47.8 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 1991 and under half the stock older, the attached garage shares a wall and often a floor level with the house, and that slab takes a load of snow off vehicles every time somebody comes home; the meltwater runs to the low point, which is frequently that shared wall.

Conditions for drying

Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 72.9 degrees against 15.5; the 32.23 inches a year peak in June at 4.31, rain recorded at MAPLE GROVE 1.8 NE 1.6 miles away and temperatures at MPLS CRYSTAL AP 6.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at under four and a half inches of a thirty-two inch year but five months average a low below freezing and January bottoms near seven degrees, so the defining season is winter; the water that damages these buildings arrives on a vehicle rather than as rain.

What tends to go wrong in Maple Grove

  • Meltwater arriving on the garage slab daily through a five-month winter, so the loading is continuous rather than an event
  • A slab that often falls toward the house, so the water collects against the wall shared with the living space
  • A wall taking water at its base all winter, so the bottom plate and the finish on the house side fail without anything obvious happening

Frequently asked questions

How does snow off a car damage the house?

By arriving every day for five months. Each vehicle brings in a quantity of snow and ice that melts on the slab, and where that floor falls toward the house rather than the door the water runs to the wall shared with the living space and sits at its base. The volume over a winter is considerable.

What actually gets wet on the house side?

The bottom plate of the shared wall and the finish above it. Water standing against that wall on the garage side works into the framing at floor level, and the first thing anyone sees is usually a baseboard or a floor covering failing in the room on the other side, well after it started.

Is this fixed by drying?

Only temporarily. The wall dries and the next winter does the same thing, so the slope of the slab or the way water leaves the garage has to change for the repair to hold. That conversation happens during the drying rather than after it, because otherwise the job is annual.
