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.

Clinton: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Clinton, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. The tubs here sit in a tiled platform, and the seal between the tub rim and the deck is where water goes in.

How these houses are built

Ask when the houses in Clinton were built and the answer is 1982 at the median, 65.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1982 with about two thirds of the stock older, the bathrooms were built with the tub dropped into a framed platform finished in tile, which puts a joint all the way round the rim between a flexing tub and a rigid deck, directly over the framing that carries both.

The climate a job dries in

On the 1991–2020 normals, Clinton gets 61.68 inches a year with April heaviest at 5.97, and the drying season runs from a 47.4-degree January to a 82.6-degree July; rain recorded at RAYMOND 2.7 E 6.5 miles away and temperatures at JACKSON HAWKINS FLD 7.1 miles away. April is the wettest month at close to six inches of a sixty-two inch year with no freezing month at all, so the building runs warm and humid nearly all year; a platform that has been taking water at the rim has had no dry season in which to recover and the framing inside it stays wet.

The way a loss ends here

  • A joint between a flexing tub and a rigid tiled deck, so the seal opens with use rather than failing at once
  • A closed platform beneath, so water crossing the joint is in framing that cannot be seen from the room
  • A slow entry over years, so what is found inside the platform is decay rather than a recent soaking

Frequently asked questions

Where does water get into a platform like this?

At the joint around the rim. The tub moves slightly every time it is filled and emptied and the tiled deck does not, so the seal between them works loose over the years rather than failing in one go. Water crosses that line a little at a time and goes into the framing below.

Why is nothing visible in the bathroom?

Because the platform is closed. Everything that gets past the rim is inside a framed box under the tile, so there is no surface for it to show on and no way to read it from the room. The first sign is usually in the ceiling below or a soft spot in the deck.

Does the platform have to come apart?

To reach the framing, yes. There is no access to the inside of a tiled platform without removing tile and usually the tub, which is why the scope on these is larger than the wet area suggests. The drying itself is short once the box is open.
