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 Marion

When a floor is wet in Marion, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Downtown. The streets here are brick with asphalt laid over them, and the two surfaces do not settle at the same rate.

What is behind the walls here

Ask when the houses in Marion were built and the answer is 1954 at the median, 88.3 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1954 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the residential grid was originally paved in brick and later surfaced over in asphalt rather than rebuilt, so there are two pavements stacked on most streets.

The drying weather

On the 1991–2020 normals, Marion gets 39.43 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.39, and the drying season runs from a 25.9-degree January to a 73.1-degree July; both figures recorded at MARION 2 N, 1.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.39 inches of a 39-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the surface is worked hard by frost each winter; a thin overlay on an uneven brick base breaks up along the joints beneath.

Where these losses tend to land

  • Two pavements moving differently, so the surface fails in a pattern set by what is underneath
  • Water getting between the layers, so it travels along the brick rather than draining away
  • Repairs that patch the top only, so the cause is left in place under the new asphalt

Frequently asked questions

What is under the asphalt?

Brick, on most of the older streets. Rather than take the brick up, the city surfaced over it, so there are two pavements stacked: a rigid one underneath that was laid on sand, and a flexible one on top that follows whatever it does.

Why does that matter for drainage?

Because water gets in between. Once the asphalt cracks over a brick joint, water runs down into the sand bed and travels along it rather than leaving at an inlet, and it surfaces wherever the layers are worst, often at the curb line.

What does rebuilding a brick street involve?

Taking both layers out rather than patching the top, which is why it so rarely happens. A patch laid over a moving brick base fails again within a few winters, so the honest expectation on these streets is recurring surface repair.
