From standing water to a dry structure

This is the order IICRC S500 describes, and the order matters more than the machines. Each stage belongs to the contractor, and each one governs the stage after it.

  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.

Drying a Celina building: what it takes

From the edges to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Celina go to an independent local contractor. Building is still going on all around these houses, so the ground beside them is disturbed and the drainage temporary.

The local building stock

Ask when the houses in Celina were built and the answer is 2015 at the median, 12.9 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 2015 and barely one house in eight predating 1990, a great many of these are occupied while the street around them is still being built out, so the grading, the paving and the storm drainage are all in an interim state.

What the weather does to a drying run

May brings 5.31 of the 42.08 inches Celina sees in a normal year, and August averages 85.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at FRISCO 9 miles away and temperatures at PILOT POINT ISL DU BOI 12.7 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-two inch year with no freezing month and a warm season in the mid-nineties, so the rain is infrequent and heavy; a storm arriving onto a half-finished site behaves nothing like one arriving onto a finished street.

Where Celina losses usually finish

  • Ground beside the house still being worked, so the levels change from one month to the next
  • Storm drainage not yet complete, so water has no settled route off the site
  • Bare and stockpiled soil upslope, so what arrives carries material with it and blocks what drainage there is

Frequently asked questions

Why does a new house flood on a new street?

Because the street is not finished. The grading, the paving and the storm drainage are all put in as the build progresses, so a house occupied early sits in a site that has no settled way of getting water away, and a heavy May storm finds that out.

Does it settle down once building stops?

Largely, and that is worth knowing before anybody spends on drainage. A great deal of what happens on these sites is temporary, so the honest advice is often to see what the finished grading does before treating the house as having a permanent problem.

What is worth doing in the meantime?

Protecting the building rather than solving the site. Getting the ground immediately around the house to fall away, keeping the downspouts running clear of it, and watching what the neighbors' lots do, are all within reach. The rest belongs to whoever is building.
