The four stages of a drying job

What the IICRC S500 standard lays out, in sequence. The equipment is the easy part; the order is what decides how much of each later stage there is to do.

  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.

Spartanburg: what the drying job runs into

Water damage restoration by an independent local contractor covers Spartanburg together with South Converse and Hampton Heights. Crawl spaces here have a poured floor rather than earth, so water that gets under the house is held in a concrete tray.

How these houses are built

Only 21.5 percent of Spartanburg's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1968 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1968 with nearly eight in ten homes predating 1990, a great many houses sit over crawl spaces with a concrete floor poured across the ground and a solid masonry skirt around them, so the space beneath is a shallow sealed tray rather than open soil that would take water away.

The climate a job dries in

A normal year here delivers 50.24 inches, 4.81 of them in March, against a warm season that peaks at 79.3 degrees in July; both figures recorded at SPARTANBURG 3 SSE, 2.7 miles away. March is the wettest month and only one month averages a freezing low, so the heaviest rain lands in early spring while the ground is still charged from winter; a sealed tray under the floor takes that water and holds it until somebody pumps it out.

The way a loss ends here

  • Concrete floors in the crawl space, so water under the house collects rather than soaking away and stands against the framing
  • A solid masonry skirt with little ventilation, so the tray has no evaporation path and no drainage
  • Ductwork and insulation sitting on that floor, so the material most affected is the material lying in the water

Frequently asked questions

The crawl space has standing water. Why has it not drained away?

Because there is nowhere for it to go. A crawl space with a poured floor and a solid perimeter is effectively a shallow concrete tray, so water that gets in stays in. That is better than soil in one respect, since it can be pumped out completely, and worse in another, since none of it disappears on its own.

What comes out from under there first?

The water, then anything lying in it. Ducting and insulation commonly sit on the crawl floor, so they are the first things to take it and the last to be looked at. Wet insulation is pulled, ducting is assessed by whoever maintains it, and only then is the space enclosed and dried.

Does a March loss run longer than a late-summer one?

It does. The heaviest rain of the year falls in March while the ground around the house is still carrying the winter, so a tray that copes in September fills in spring. The same loss in late summer is a much smaller job, and the difference is entirely about what the ground outside is doing.
