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 Crockett involves

When a floor is wet in Crockett, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to its edges. There is no gas main out here, so every house runs on propane from a tank standing in the yard.

What the houses are made of

Only 12.4 percent of Crockett's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1972 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1972 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the town and the country around it are off the gas network, so heating and cooking run on propane delivered by truck to a tank on each property.

Drying conditions

No month in Crockett has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 35.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 5.05 inches of an annual 47.32; both figures recorded at CROCKETT, 0.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.05 inches of a 47-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the ground stays workable all year; a buried line running from a yard tank to the house sits in soil that is wet and moving for much of it.

How water losses tend to end in Crockett

  • A buried line crossing the yard, so there is a service run outside the building nobody thinks about
  • A trench through the yard, so there is a permeable route from the tank straight to the wall
  • Gas rather than water in that line, so digging near it is a matter for the supplier

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

Frequently asked questions

Why does the propane line matter to a water problem?

Because of the trench it sits in. The line runs from the tank in the yard to the house in a trench that was dug and backfilled, and that backfill is looser than the ground around it, so surface water finds it and follows it to the foundation.

How is it different from a water line trench?

In who may dig it. The gas line belongs to the supplier or is at least their concern, so excavating along it is not something to do with a shovel on a Saturday. It has to be located and marked before any drainage work goes near it.

Does the tank itself cause anything?

Occasionally, and it is worth a look. A tank on a settled or tilted pad puts strain on the connection at its base, and the pad itself is often the lowest firm thing in that part of the yard, so water collects around it and stays.
