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.

Marlton: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Marlton, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to The Mews, Colts Run, and Club Villas. The water here runs brown with tannin out of the cedar swamps, and it is naturally acidic as well as stained.

How these houses are built

The typical Marlton house dates to 1973, with over four fifths of the stock (78.3 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1970s work. Around a median of 1973 with nearly eight in ten houses older, the township draws on the sand aquifer of the pine country, where water passing through cedar peat picks up tannin and acidity before it reaches a well or a main.

The climate a job dries in

July brings 5.38 of the 49.32 inches Marlton sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at MOORESTOWN, 4 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.38 inches of a 49-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so recharge is steady through the year; the chemistry of the water is a constant rather than something that varies with the weather.

The way a loss ends here

  • Acidic water attacking copper and fittings from the inside, so failures are pinholes
  • Tannin staining everything it touches, so a small leak marks a ceiling out of proportion to it
  • Water chemistry rather than a building fault, so replacing one section settles nothing

Frequently asked questions

Why is the water brown?

Tannin, picked up from cedar peat as the water moves through the ground. It is a natural feature of this aquifer rather than a fault, and it comes with a low pH, so the water is mildly acidic as well as stained.

What does acidic water do to the plumbing?

Takes metal off the inside of it, slowly and invisibly. Copper carrying slightly acidic water for decades loses thickness from within until it perforates, so failures here are pinholes producing a weep or a fine spray rather than a burst.

Does the staining change the repair?

It changes what can be salvaged. Tannin-stained water marks plaster and board far more than clean water does, and the stain bleeds through ordinary paint, so ceilings that would otherwise have been dried and touched up often have to be sealed or replaced.
