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 Biloxi involves

When a floor is wet in Biloxi, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. Newer roofs here are foamed on the underside, so the attic is inside the building and a roof loss has no vented escape.

What the houses are made of

49.5 percent of Biloxi's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1990, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1990 with half the stock newer, a substantial share of the newer roofs are sprayed underneath rather than vented, which brings the roof space inside the conditioned envelope; the advantage is that it is no longer a hot humid void, and the cost is that water getting into that assembly has nowhere to go.

Drying conditions

July brings 8.09 of the 66.8 inches Biloxi sees in a normal year, and July averages 82.5 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at BILOXI, 4.5 miles away. July is the wettest month at over eight inches of a sixty-seven inch year and nothing freezes, so the warm humid season runs most of the calendar; a sealed roof assembly taking water in that stretch has no ventilation path and no cold dry season ahead of it.

How water losses tend to end in Biloxi

  • Roof assemblies sealed on the underside, so water between the deck and the foam has no route out in either direction
  • Foam hiding the condition entirely, so a wet deck shows nothing from the attic side until it shows on a ceiling
  • Mechanical equipment inside that sealed space, so a drain or line failure is enclosed with no ventilation around it

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

Frequently asked questions

The attic is sealed. Is a roof leak worse or better in that case?

Harder to find and harder to dry. A sealed assembly keeps the space comfortable and out of the weather, which is why it is done, but water that gets between the deck and the foam cannot evaporate in either direction. It stays against the deck, and nothing from inside the attic will show it.

How is a wet deck under foam actually dealt with?

By removing foam along the run, which is the part people do not expect. There is no other access to the deck and no path for air. The affected foam is cut out, the deck is read with pins and dried, and new material is applied only after the readings hold. It is a slow and untidy process.

What else is up in that space?

Frequently the air handler and its ducting, because a sealed attic is a reasonable place to put them. That means a blocked drain or a failed pan is inside the same unventilated space, above finished ceilings. Those are checked first in any attic loss here, since they are more common than a roof failure.
