From standing water to a dry structure

This is the order IICRC S500 describes, and the order matters more than the machines. Each stage belongs to the contractor, and each one governs the stage after it.

  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.

Drying a Boone building: what it takes

Boone homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or out in Beverly Heights, Horn in the West, and Perkinsville. Ice forms out of the fog on this mountain, coating everything on a building without any rain falling at all.

The local building stock

61 percent of Boone's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1985, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1985 with six in ten houses older, the town sits high enough that cloud sits on it through much of the winter, so buildings spend long periods inside the cloud rather than under it.

What the weather does to a drying run

A normal year here delivers 59.13 inches, 5.73 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 68.4 degrees in July; both figures recorded at BOONE 1 SE, 1.1 miles away. September is the wettest month at 5.73 inches of a 59-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the annual total is very high and a good part of the winter's loading arrives as freezing fog rather than precipitation.

Where Boone losses usually finish

  • Ice accumulating with no rainfall, so the loading does not show in any rain gauge
  • Every surface coated rather than just the roof, so gutters and vents ice as well
  • Long periods inside cloud, so nothing on the outside of a building ever dries

Frequently asked questions

What is rime ice?

Ice that forms directly out of fog when the droplets freeze on contact with a surface. At this elevation the town spends a good deal of the winter inside the cloud, so it builds on roofs, gutters, vents and railings without rain.

Why does that matter more than snow?

Because it coats rather than lands. Snow sits on horizontal surfaces and can be cleared; rime forms on every face including the undersides, so it blocks vents, seals gutters shut and loads things that were never designed to carry it.

What does it mean for drying out a building?

That the outside is no help for months. A wall here spends long stretches at a hundred percent humidity inside cloud, so nothing dries outward, and any drying has to be done entirely from within the building. Equipment has to do the whole job, and it has to keep doing it for longer than it would lower down.
