The order a drying job runs in

Equipment matters less than sequence. IICRC S500 sets out these stages, each of them the contractor's to carry out, and each one sizing the stage that follows 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 conditions particular to Moorestown-Lenola

When a floor is wet in Moorestown-Lenola, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Northwest Estates, Lenola, and Windrow Clusters. A creek runs along the back of these lots, and the boundary of a property is the top of its bank.

What is behind the walls here

Only 14.4 percent of Moorestown-Lenola's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1960 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1960 with more than eight in ten houses older, the subdivisions were laid out with their rear boundaries on a watercourse, so the garden ends where the bank begins and the channel is private ground.

The drying weather

A normal year here delivers 49.32 inches, 5.38 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 77.4 degrees in July; both figures recorded at MOORESTOWN, 1.1 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 the heaviest rain arrives in summer with the channel full of growth; a private creek is maintained by whoever chooses to.

Where these losses tend to land

  • A watercourse in private ownership, so its maintenance is nobody's clear duty
  • Banks that erode toward the houses, so the usable garden shrinks over time
  • Obstructions placed by one owner affecting those upstream, so the problem travels

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the creek behind the house?

Generally the householders on either side, to the middle of the channel. It is private ground rather than a public watercourse, which means nobody is coming to clear it and each owner is responsible for their own stretch. That comes as a surprise to most owners, who assume the township is looking after it.

What happens when one stretch is neglected?

Everyone upstream finds out. Fallen timber, garden waste or a collapsed bank in one property's length restricts the channel, and the water backs up across the gardens above it. The damage is rarely on the lot causing it. The obstruction and the flooding can be several properties apart, which makes the cause hard to see.

Is there anything to be done collectively?

It is the only thing that really works, and it is worth starting before an event rather than after. A few neighbors agreeing to clear their lengths in the same autumn achieves more than any one of them can manage alone.
