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.

Thomasville: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Thomasville, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Breckenridge, Colonial Village, and Stone Gables. The ducts under these floors are flexible line hung in loops, and a low loop collects whatever condenses inside it.

How these houses are built

The typical Thomasville house dates to 1983, with close to three fifths of the stock (59 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1983 with nearly six in ten predating 1990, these houses are conditioned through ductwork run in the crawl space, using insulated flexible line strapped up to the joists in runs that sag between their supports.

The climate a job dries in

July brings 5.78 of the 46.43 inches Thomasville sees in a normal year, and July averages 79.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at THOMASVILLE 3.5 SSW 2.9 miles away and temperatures at HIGH PT 8.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.78 inches of a 46.43-inch year and one month averages lows below freezing, so the crawl space runs hot and humid all summer while cold air passes through those ducts; that is the condition that puts water inside them.

The way a loss ends here

  • Cold ducts in humid air, so condensation forms whether or not anything has leaked
  • Sags that hold what collects, so the water has a low point to gather in rather than a fall to follow
  • Damage inside the duct and inside its wrap, so nothing is visible from the crawl space floor

Frequently asked questions

How does water get inside a duct?

From the air around it. Cold supply air keeps the duct's inner liner well below the temperature of a humid crawl space, and where the insulation or the outer wrap has been compressed or torn, moisture condenses on the liner and runs down inside it. Any sag in the run becomes the place it collects.

What are the signs of it from inside the house?

Weak airflow from one or two outlets, a musty smell when the system starts, and sometimes damp around the register itself. Because the cause is under the floor and not in the room, it frequently gets treated as a cooling problem for a season or two before anyone looks in the crawl space.

Is the duct repairable or does it get replaced?

A wet flexible run is normally replaced. The liner and the insulation between it and the outer wrap hold moisture and cannot be dried in place, and the sag that caused the trouble is a fault in how it was hung. Replacing the run and supporting it properly along its length deals with both at once.
