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 Spring Hill involves

Water damage restoration by an independent local contractor covers Spring Hill together with Historic Spring Hill, Chapman's Retreat, and Harvest Point. These subdivisions were built on land that was mined for phosphate, so the ground is pitted and refilled beneath them.

What the houses are made of

The typical Spring Hill house dates to 2009, with under a third of the stock (4.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 2000s work. With a median of 2009 and fewer than one house in twenty predating 1990, the developments went onto land that had been worked over for phosphate generations earlier, where pits were dug and later filled back in without record.

Drying conditions

A normal year here delivers 55.96 inches, 5.82 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 79.4 degrees in July; both figures recorded at THOMPSON STN, 1.5 miles away. December is the wettest month at 5.82 inches of a 56-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in winter when nothing is growing; ground made of old fill takes that up and settles under it.

How water losses tend to end in Spring Hill

  • Refilled workings under the lots, so the ground is made rather than natural in places
  • No record of where the pits were, so two neighboring houses can sit on quite different ground
  • Settlement continuing decades on, so the movement is ongoing rather than finished

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

Frequently asked questions

What did phosphate mining leave behind?

Pits, and then the material pushed back into them. The workings here were shallow and scattered rather than deep, and when an area was finished it was graded over, so what looks like a field is partly natural ground and partly fill of unknown depth.

Why does that matter to a house built in 2009?

Because fill settles for a very long time. Ground that was pushed back into a pit decades ago is still consolidating, so a slab bearing partly on natural ground and partly on fill is being supported unevenly and will keep being supported unevenly.

Can anyone find out which ground a lot is on?

Partly. State geological surveys mapped the workings and the old aerial photography is public, and between them they narrow it down considerably. It is worth the search when a floor is cracking, because it changes whether the answer is drainage or foundation.
