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 Canandaigua involves

When a floor is wet in Canandaigua, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. Vineyards run up the slopes above this town, and cultivated ground sheds water far faster than woodland did.

What the houses are made of

The typical Canandaigua house dates to 1962, with over four fifths of the stock (79.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1960s work. Around a median of 1962 with nearly eight in ten houses older, the town sits at the foot of slopes that were cleared for vines, so the catchment above the streets is worked ground rather than forest.

Drying conditions

A normal year here delivers 35.19 inches, 4.06 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 71.7 degrees in July; both figures recorded at CANANDAIGUA 3 S, 3 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.06 inches of a 35-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in the growing season, when the rows between the vines are bare and cultivated.

How water losses tend to end in Canandaigua

  • Cultivated slopes above the houses, so runoff arrives faster and carries soil with it
  • Rows running with the slope in places, so the cultivation lines act as channels
  • The source on farmland rather than in the town, so it is outside any household's control

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

Frequently asked questions

Why does a vineyard shed more water than woodland?

Because the ground between the rows is kept bare and worked. There is no leaf litter to slow the water and no forest floor to absorb it, so rain reaches the surface and runs, and it does that within minutes rather than over hours.

Does the direction of the rows matter?

A great deal. Rows running across the slope hold water back; rows running up and down it give every storm a set of channels to follow. Where the planting runs with the fall, the runoff arrives concentrated at the bottom of the hill.

What can be done at the bottom of the slope?

Intercept it before it reaches the buildings, since the source is not the household's to change. A cut-off drain across the uphill boundary, sized for water that is carrying silt with it, handles what arrives and does not depend on the grower's cooperation.
