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.

Pahrump: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Pahrump, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Mountain Falls and The Enclave at Burson Range. There is no storm drainage in this valley at all, so every property deals with what lands on it.

How these houses are built

Only 80.7 percent of Pahrump's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 2000 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 2000 and under a fifth of the stock older, the valley was developed lot by lot without a municipal system, so there are no storm sewers, no curbs and no public drainage to connect anything to.

The climate a job dries in

A normal year here delivers 4.97 inches, 0.91 of them in February, against a warm season that peaks at 84.6 degrees in July; both figures recorded at PAHRUMP 4 NW, 4.2 miles away. February is the wettest month at 0.91 inches of a 4.97-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so rain is very rare indeed; when it does arrive there is nothing built anywhere to take it.

The way a loss ends here

  • No public drainage to discharge into, so a solution has to end on the property
  • Neighbors solving it individually, so water is passed from one lot to the next
  • Nothing maintained by anyone, so the routes that exist are accidents of grading

Frequently asked questions

Where is the storm water supposed to go?

Nowhere in particular, which is the honest answer. There is no municipal storm system in the valley, so water that falls on a property either soaks in, evaporates, or runs onto the next property. Nothing was built to collect it.

Does that make drainage work pointless?

No, but it changes the target. Without an outlet to connect to, the aim is retention and infiltration on the lot itself: somewhere for water to sit safely away from the building until it soaks away, rather than a pipe to somewhere else.

What about water arriving from uphill?

That is the harder half, and it is worth dealing with before anything else. A berm or a cut-off across the uphill boundary keeps a neighbor's runoff out, and on ground this flat it takes very little to change where a sheet of water goes.
