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 New Richmond building: what it takes

New Richmond homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or at the city line. A cupola stands on the roof of a good many of these houses and outbuildings, a small structure with four walls and its own roof.

The local building stock

54.1 percent of New Richmond's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1986, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1986 with over half the stock older, this river village keeps the building habits of the valley, which put a small ventilating cupola on the ridge of houses, garages and barns, each one framed and roofed in miniature.

What the weather does to a drying run

3 months in New Richmond have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 23.6 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 5.01 inches of an annual 47.23; rain recorded at AMELIA 0.3 SSW 4.7 miles away and temperatures at CINCINNATI LUNKEN AP 11.6 miles away. May is the wettest month at 5.01 inches of a 47.23-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so the ridge takes heavy spring rain and then a winter of freezing; a small structure sitting at the highest point takes all of that first.

Where New Richmond losses usually finish

  • A roof penetration at the ridge, which is the point every other detail drains away from
  • Four walls, four corners and a separate roof on something the size of a cupboard
  • Water entering at the ridge, so it reaches the whole roof structure below

Frequently asked questions

Why does a cupola leak?

Because it is a small building sitting on top of a large one. It has its own roof, walls, corners and flashing where it meets the main ridge, and all of it was built at a scale where details are hard to execute. Sealant is frequently doing work that flashing should be doing.

Where does a cupola leak show up?

At the ridge inside the roof space, and then anywhere along it. Water entering at the top of a roof runs down the underside of the deck and drips from a rafter or a nail somewhere well away from the cupola. Tracing it back up to the ridge is what takes the time.

Is it worth keeping one that leaks?

It is a fair question and the answer is usually yes, because it is part of how the building looks and frequently how the roof space ventilates. Rebuilding the flashing at its base properly, in metal rather than sealant, deals with almost all of these. Removing one leaves a hole to close at the ridge.
