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 Sharon involves

When a floor is wet in Sharon, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. The doors on these houses have nothing at the bottom of them, so the gap under each one is open to the weather.

What the houses are made of

Only 56.7 percent of Sharon's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1992 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1992 with under half the stock predating 1990, these houses were fitted with doors whose sweeps and bottom seals have either worn away or were never replaced, leaving a visible gap at the base of most exterior doors.

Drying conditions

A normal year here delivers 59.64 inches, 6.07 of them in January, against a warm season that peaks at 81.8 degrees in July; both figures recorded at LAUREL, 8.5 miles away. January is the wettest month at 6.07 inches of a 59.64-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so this is among the wettest places anywhere and the rain arrives on the wind; a gap under a door is at the exact height that driven rain runs.

How water losses tend to end in Sharon

  • An opening at floor level on every exterior door of the building
  • Water crossing the sill in a sheet during a driven storm rather than pooling outside
  • Flooring at every entrance wetted repeatedly, so damage builds up over years

Water Damage Restoration services in Sharon

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

Frequently asked questions

How much water can come under a door?

A surprising amount in a driven storm. Wind pushes water across a porch or a slab and up against the door, and a quarter-inch gap along a three-foot door is a considerable opening at exactly the height that water is running. It comes in as a sheet rather than a drip.

What does the water under a door damage?

The flooring just inside and the bottom of the door itself. Engineered flooring swells at the joints nearest the door, the sill and the framing beneath it take water repeatedly, and the door's own bottom rail decays. All of it accumulates over seasons rather than arriving at once.

Is a sweep enough on its own?

Usually, if the sill is sound and the ground outside falls away. A sweep costs very little and takes minutes to fit. Where water is already standing against the door because of the grade or a settled slab outside, that has to be dealt with as well, or the sweep is holding back a pond.
