From standing water to a dry structure

This is the order IICRC S500 describes, and the order matters more than the machines. Each stage belongs to the contractor, and each one governs the stage after 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 a Sparks building: what it takes

From Singing Hills and Ridgecrest to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Sparks go to an independent local contractor. The levees along this river have been set back and the floodplain reopened, so the water has somewhere to go again.

The local building stock

Only 53.9 percent of Sparks's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1993 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1993 and just under half the stock older, the industrial and residential land along the river has been reworked, with embankments moved back to give the channel room in a large event.

What the weather does to a drying run

January brings 1.28 of the 8.38 inches Sparks sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SPARKS, 1.6 miles away. January is the wettest month at 1.28 inches of an 8.38-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so local rain does little; the river responds to warm storms melting mountain snow rather than to anything falling here.

Where Sparks losses usually finish

  • A floodplain deliberately reopened, so land that was dry is now expected to flood
  • Protection moved rather than removed, so which side of the new line a property sits on matters
  • A river driven by mountain snowmelt, so its rises are not signaled by local weather

Frequently asked questions

What does setting a levee back mean?

Moving the embankment away from the channel so the river has room to spread in a large event. It reduces the height the water reaches overall, and it does that by allowing the land between the channel and the new line to flood.

Does that make properties safer or less safe?

Both, depending on where they are. Those behind the new line are better protected than they were; those in the widened corridor are now in ground that is expected to take water. The line's position is the whole question. Knowing which side of the new line a property sits on is the single most useful piece of information.

What actually drives the river here?

Warm storms on mountain snow rather than rain in the valley. The city gets very little precipitation, so the events that matter are rain-on-snow in the Sierra, and they can arrive with nothing much falling on the streets at all.
