Drying, stage by stage

Sequence beats equipment on a wet building. The stages below come from IICRC S500 - all of them the contractor's work, each one setting the size of the next.

  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.

What drying a building in Roswell involves

When a floor is wet in Roswell, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. The water table here sits close to the surface in places, so the ground can be wet in a desert.

What the houses are made of

Ask when the houses in Roswell were built and the answer is 1968 at the median, 81.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1968 with four in five houses older, the housing sits over a basin where groundwater is under pressure and stands close to the surface in places, so the soil beneath a slab can be wet in a town that sees thirteen inches of rain a year.

Drying conditions

On the 1991–2020 normals, Roswell gets 13.3 inches a year with August heaviest at 2.11, and the drying season runs from a 39.3-degree January to a 79.7-degree July; rain recorded at ROSWELL 0.3 SSW 0.5 miles away and temperatures at ROSWELL CLIMAT 0.9 miles away. August is the wettest month at just over two inches of a thirteen inch year with four months averaging a low below freezing, so the rainfall explains almost nothing about the ground; what is under these floors is groundwater rather than anything that fell recently.

How water losses tend to end in Roswell

  • Groundwater standing close to the surface, so the soil under a slab is wet independently of the weather
  • A rainfall figure that suggests dry ground, so the condition is assumed rather than measured
  • A slab in contact with wet soil, so a covering bonded to it can fail without any loss having occurred

Six water services lead and two mold services follow, because mold is the end of a drying job rather than a separate one. Independent Roswell contractors do both.

Frequently asked questions

How can the ground be wet where it never rains?

Because the water is not coming from the sky. There is groundwater in this basin standing close to the surface, so the soil beneath a slab can be permanently damp in a place that sees thirteen inches a year. The rainfall figure describes the weather, not the ground.

What does that mean for readings on the floor?

That a dry figure taken from general guidance is the wrong target. The slab has been in contact with damp ground since it was poured and has never read dry, so an unaffected part of the same floor is measured to establish what normal looks like and the affected area is brought back to that.

Could the flooring have failed on its own?

It happens here often enough to check first. A covering bonded to a slab that is drawing from wet ground will lift or discolor without any loss at all, so establishing whether there was ever a source is part of the first visit. The answer changes the work entirely.
