The order a drying job runs in

Equipment matters less than sequence. IICRC S500 sets out these stages, each of them the contractor's to carry out, and each one sizing the stage that follows 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 conditions particular to Bowling Green

When a floor is wet in Bowling Green, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Downtown, Columbia Court, and Park View Village Mobile Homes. Sandstone was quarried beside this town and the workings filled with water when they were finished.

What is behind the walls here

Roughly 8,183 of Bowling Green's 12,626 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1980; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1980 with nearly two thirds of the stock older, the town grew alongside sandstone quarries that were worked out and left, and the housing has since extended toward and around them.

The drying weather

On the 1991–2020 normals, Bowling Green gets 37.71 inches a year with May heaviest at 4.29, and the drying season runs from a 25.9-degree January to a 74-degree July; rain recorded at BOWLING GREEN 1.7 WNW 1.6 miles away and temperatures at BOWLING GREEN WWTP 2 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.29 inches of a 38-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring; a flooded quarry holds a level set by the rock around it rather than by the weather.

Where these losses tend to land

  • Open water in worked rock, so the level is tied to the ground water not the rainfall
  • Jointed sandstone around it, so water moves through the rock rather than the soil
  • Old workings with no plan, so the extent underground is not reliably known

Frequently asked questions

What happened to the old sandstone quarries?

Flooded pits, mostly, and the rock around them. When the working stopped the pumps did too, and the holes filled to the level of the ground water in the sandstone. Some are managed as water bodies now and some are simply there.

How does that reach a house?

Through the rock. Sandstone is jointed, so water moves along the partings rather than seeping evenly through soil, and the level in a flooded working is the level in those joints for some distance around it. That is why a property a quarter mile from open water can still be sitting in it, and why the distance to the quarry edge tells you very little on its own.

Does it change with the weather?

Less than you would expect, and more slowly. A quarry connected to the rock responds to the ground water over weeks rather than to a storm over hours, so a basement that follows it goes wet well after the rain that caused it.
