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 Edmond

When a floor is wet in Edmond, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Indian Ridge and Arrowhead Valley. A tap has been fitted over the range in these kitchens, which puts a supply line above the stove with no drain beneath it.

What is behind the walls here

Roughly 17,726 of Edmond's 39,841 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1993; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1993 with under half the stock predating 1990, a good number of these kitchens have been remodeled with a filler tap mounted on the wall above the cooking range, fed by a supply line run up inside that wall.

The drying weather

3 months in Edmond have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 25 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 5.11 inches of an annual 34.94; rain recorded at ARCADIA 3 WSW 3 miles away and temperatures at GUTHRIE 5S 9.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.11 inches of a 34.94-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so nearly every loss in these houses begins inside; a supply line in a wall with nothing below it to catch a failure is exactly that kind of source.

Where these losses tend to land

  • A pressurized line run up inside a kitchen wall to serve a convenience fitting
  • No drain anywhere beneath it, so a failure lands on the range and the floor
  • A valve used occasionally, so a weeping fitting can run a long time between uses

Frequently asked questions

What is the risk with a tap over the range?

The supply line behind the wall rather than the tap itself. Getting water to that position means running a line up inside the wall of a kitchen, with a connection at the fitting. Everything below it is cabinetry, appliances and flooring, and there is no drain to catch anything.

How would a slow leak show?

As damage below and beside the range rather than at the tap. Water running inside the wall reaches the bottom plate and travels along the cabinet run, so the sign is a swollen cabinet base or lifting flooring several feet away. The fitting above looks perfectly dry.

Is there anything worth doing when one is fitted?

Insisting on a shutoff that can be reached, and knowing where it is. Many of these are installed with no local isolation at all, which means stopping a failure requires shutting the house down. It is a small thing to specify at the time and impossible to add easily afterward.
