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.

Sicklerville: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Sicklerville, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Avandale and Winslow Crossing. The cooling ducts here run through the attic, and one that has come apart wets the roof from inside.

How these houses are built

The typical Sicklerville house dates to 1990, with about half of the stock (51.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1990s work. Around a median of 1990 with about half the stock older, the cooling is distributed through flexible ducting run across the attic above the ceiling insulation, and those runs are joined at collars and taped rather than fixed; a joint that pulls apart discharges cold air into the roof space.

The climate a job dries in

A normal year here delivers 47.44 inches, 4.91 of them in August, against a warm season that peaks at 77 degrees in July; rain recorded at WINSLOW TWP 3.5 W 2.5 miles away and temperatures at GLASSBORO 2 NE 5.6 miles away. August is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-seven inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the cooling season coincides with the most humid part of the year; cold air released into a humid attic condenses on the underside of the roof, and that water falls back onto the ceiling.

The way a loss ends here

  • A duct joint that has separated, so conditioned air is delivered into the attic rather than into the house
  • Condensation forming on the roof sheathing from inside, so the water is made in the building rather than entering it
  • A ceiling that wets slowly from above with no leak anywhere, so the roof is inspected and found sound

Frequently asked questions

How can a ceiling get wet with a sound roof?

From the inside of the roof rather than the outside. A cooling duct that has come apart in the attic discharges cold air into a humid space, and that air condenses on the underside of the sheathing and on the duct itself. The water then drips back onto the insulation and the ceiling below.

How is this distinguished from a roof problem?

By when it happens. Condensation from a separated duct appears during the cooling season and in humid weather rather than during rain, so a ceiling that wets on a hot dry day is telling you the source is inside. The ductwork is then checked at every joint along the run.

What has to be put right?

The duct first, because nothing else stops it. Once the run is reconnected the condensation stops immediately, and then the wet insulation comes out and the ceiling and framing are read and dried. Drying the ceiling without finding the joint simply means doing it again next summer.
