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 Fremont building: what it takes

When a floor is wet in Fremont, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Paradise Estates. The lakes around this town are old sandpits, dug for aggregate and left to fill from the ground water.

The local building stock

Ask when the houses in Fremont were built and the answer is 1966 at the median, 75.1 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1966 with three quarters of the stock older, housing has been built around a group of flooded sand and gravel pits, which are open water connected directly to the aquifer beneath.

What the weather does to a drying run

Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 75.9 degrees against 22.6; the 32.63 inches a year peak in June at 5.13, rain recorded at FREMONT 0.6 S 0.6 miles away and temperatures at FREMONT 1.2 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.13 inches of a 33-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer; a pit open to the aquifer rises with the ground water rather than with the rain on it.

Where Fremont losses usually finish

  • Open water connected to the aquifer, so the lake level is the ground water level
  • Houses built around the rim, so properties sit at a level set by the pit
  • Banks of loose sand, so the edges erode and slump rather than holding

Frequently asked questions

What are the lakes here?

Worked-out sand and gravel pits. The digging went below the water table and the holes filled from the ground, so what looks like a lake is an excavation open to the aquifer rather than a body of water fed by a stream.

Why does a flooded pit matter to a basement nearby?

Because the pit and the ground water are the same thing. The level in the lake is the level under the surrounding houses, so a basement several lots back responds to the same rise, and it does so without any surface connection.

Are the banks stable?

Less than they look. The sides are loose sand rather than consolidated ground, so they slump and erode, particularly where the level moves up and down. A property close to a bank is worth watching for that as much as for the water.
