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 Keizer involves

When a floor is wet in Keizer, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Hayesville. Most streets here have no sidewalks or curbs, so the edge of the pavement is the drainage and nothing else is.

What the houses are made of

Ask when the houses in Keizer were built and the answer is 1981 at the median, 58.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1981 with nearly six in ten houses older, the city grew from rural roads rather than platted blocks, so a large share of the residential streets were never given curb, gutter or footway.

Drying conditions

December brings 7.02 of the 41.9 inches Keizer sees in a normal year, and July averages 69.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at KEIZER 1.4 SSW 1.2 miles away and temperatures at SALEM MCNARY FLD 6.9 miles away. December is the wettest month at 7.02 inches of a 42-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season is long and heavy; a road edge doing the work of a gutter has to carry that for months on end.

How water losses tend to end in Keizer

  • No curb to contain the runoff, so the street sheds across the frontage of every lot
  • A soft edge that erodes, so the profile changes and the water finds new lines
  • Ditches where they exist maintained by whoever chooses to, so the standard varies house by house

Water Damage Restoration services in Keizer

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

Frequently asked questions

Where does the street water go without curbs?

Onto the verges and into whatever ditch or swale exists, and where none does, across the front of the properties. There is no gutter line holding it to the road, so the drainage of the street is effectively the first few feet of each lot.

Why does it get worse over time?

Because the edge breaks down. Without a curb the pavement edge crumbles under wheels and water, the level drops there, and the runoff concentrates into that line and deepens it until it is a channel running along the frontage. Once that channel exists it collects the next storm as well, so it deepens season after season.

Is a curb likely to be built?

Rarely, and usually only as part of a wider street project. That makes it worth handling on the lot: a defined edge and a shallow swale across the frontage does most of what a curb would, and it is within one household's control.
