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 Midwest City involves

When a floor is wet in Midwest City, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Windmill Farms. The mass-built housing from the 1940s on has cast-iron drains under the slab, now old enough that failures come up through the floor.

What the houses are made of

Roughly 20,632 of Midwest City's 27,117 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1975; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. The median build year is 1975 but a large part of the stock goes back to the original wartime and postwar building, so beneath those slabs sit cast-iron waste lines at the end of their service life, and a break there is not clean water and changes what can be kept before anything is dried.

Drying conditions

A normal year here delivers 37.18 inches, 5.36 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 82 degrees in July; rain recorded at MOORE 1.3 ENE 9.5 miles away and temperatures at SPENCER 2ENE MESONET 6 miles away. May is the wettest month and only two months average a freezing low, so the split season is short and the busy stretch is a warm humid spring; a subslab failure found in May is worked with the building closed, because the outside air at that time of year adds moisture rather than removing it.

How water losses tend to end in Midwest City

  • Cast-iron waste lines under original slabs reaching the end of their life, so the failure is below the floor and the water is not clean
  • Repeated wartime and postwar plans across whole neighborhoods, so the same line fails in the same place house after house
  • Slab floors with covering bonded directly to them, so a subslab loss has no visible sign until it surfaces at a joint

Frequently asked questions

Water is coming up through the floor. What changes about the job?

Almost everything. A waste line failure means the water is contaminated, so porous material that took it is removed rather than dried, the concrete is cleaned before it is dried, and the opening has to be large enough to reach and repair the line. Drying is the last stage of that job rather than the first.

How long does a slab take to dry once it has been opened and repaired?

Two to three weeks from the repair, not from the discovery. Concrete that has been fed by a broken line for months is wet through its depth and only releases from the open face. The patch itself then adds moisture of its own, so new covering waits on a moisture test rather than on the calendar.

The neighbors have had the same problem. Does that change anything?

It changes what gets looked at, not how it is handled. Where the housing was built to one plan on one schedule, the same line runs in the same place and reaches the same age at the same time. That makes a camera inspection of the rest of the run worth doing while the floor is already open, rather than after it is closed.
