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 Landen involves

When a floor is wet in Landen, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Stonebridge Estates and Richland. Each house here has a pump in the yard that pushes its waste into a small pressure line under the street.

What the houses are made of

Ask when the houses in Landen were built and the answer is 1985 at the median, 74.7 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1985 with three quarters of the stock older, the community was built with a low-pressure sewer rather than a gravity main, so every property has a tank and a grinder pump buried in the garden.

Drying conditions

May brings 4.94 of the 44.55 inches Landen sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at KINGS MILLS 2.6 miles away and temperatures at MILFORD 9.4 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.94 inches of a 44-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the ground is saturated in spring and frozen in winter; a buried tank and pump sit in both conditions with power running to them.

How water losses tend to end in Landen

  • A pump on every property, so the drainage of each house depends on its own equipment
  • A tank buried in the yard, so a failure shows up in the garden before it shows in the house
  • A shared pressure line, so what one property can discharge depends on the rest of the system

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

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a pump for the sewer?

Because the ground here does not fall the right way for a gravity main. Each house drains into a buried tank, and a grinder pump in it pushes the waste up into a small pressure line under the street that serves the whole community.

What happens when the pump fails?

Everything backs up toward the house, starting at the lowest fixture. There is no gravity fallback, so a failed pump means the drainage stops working that day rather than gradually, and an alarm on the tank is the only warning there is.

Whose equipment is it?

Usually the householder's, which surprises people, though the arrangements vary and it is worth confirming which applies here. Either way, the pump has a service life of around a decade, and knowing its age is more useful than knowing the sewer's.
