How a wet building gets dry again

The order matters more than the equipment. These are the stages the IICRC S500 drying standard describes; each is the contractor's work, and each decides how much of the next there is.

  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.

Inside a Tigard drying job

From Derry Dell and Downtown Tigard to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Tigard go to an independent local contractor. A sunroom has been built onto a great many of these houses, roofed in glass panels rather than in shingles.

Construction you will find here

Ask when the houses in Tigard were built and the answer is 1988 at the median, 53.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1988 with about half the stock older, a good number of these houses have gained a sunroom off the back, built as a kit or by a local contractor with glazed walls and a glazed or panelled roof rather than a framed one.

Conditions for drying

A normal year here delivers 42.05 inches, 7.34 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 68.3 degrees in July; rain recorded at BEAVERTON 0.7 SSE 3.2 miles away and temperatures at BEAVERTON 2 SSW 2.8 miles away. December is the wettest month at 7.34 inches of a 42.05-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season runs from autumn to spring without a break; a glazed roof in that climate is wetted continuously for six months and dries between storms almost never.

What tends to go wrong in Tigard

  • A roof made of panels and seals rather than a shedding covering
  • A junction where the addition meets the original wall, made after the house was finished
  • Condensation inside the room as well as rain outside, both arriving at the same joints

Frequently asked questions

Where do these rooms leak?

At the joint with the house and at the panel seals, in that order. The glazing itself is sound; what fails is the flashing where the new roof meets the old wall, which was fitted against a finished elevation, and the gaskets between panels, which harden and shrink after a decade of weather.

Is water inside always a leak?

No, and it is worth telling them apart. A glazed room in this climate condenses heavily, so water running down the inside of the glass on a cold morning is the room doing what it does. A leak shows up after rain rather than after a cold night, and it appears at a joint rather than over the whole surface.

What does the junction with the house need?

A proper flashing tucked behind the cladding of the original wall, not a bead along the top of the new roof. Most of these were built the quick way, and the seal is now a decade past its life. Redoing that junction properly is the repair that stops the problem rather than deferring it.
