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 Dripping Springs drying job

Dripping Springs homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or at the city line. A great many houses out here collect their own water off the roof into tanks, because there is no main to connect to.

Construction you will find here

Only 87.2 percent of Dripping Springs's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 2013 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 2013 and barely one house in eight predating 1990, the newer places on acreage were built beyond any water utility, so the roof is the supply and large storage tanks stand beside the house.

Conditions for drying

No month in Dripping Springs has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 38.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 4.59 inches of an annual 36.04; rain recorded at DRIPPING SPRINGS 3.3 NE 3.3 miles away and temperatures at DRIPPING SPRINGS 6 E 6.5 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.59 inches of a 36-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the supply arrives in a few heavy months and has to last through the rest; storage is sized for drought rather than for rain.

What tends to go wrong in Dripping Springs

  • The roof as the water supply, so anything on it ends up in the tank
  • Large volumes stored beside the house, so a tank failure releases thousands of gallons at once
  • Pump, filter and treatment equipment indoors, so the waterworks is inside the building

Frequently asked questions

How does rainwater collection work here?

The roof is the catchment. Gutters feed into storage tanks beside the house, and pumps and filters take it from there into the plumbing. On acreage beyond the utility lines it is the normal arrangement rather than an eccentric one.

What happens when a tank fails?

A great deal of water arrives at once, close to the building. Tanks here hold thousands of gallons, and they sit on a pad within a few feet of the house, so a split or a failed fitting is a different order of event from a plumbing leak.

Does a roof loss affect the drinking water?

It can, and it is the question people forget to ask. Anything that contaminates the roof surface or the gutters goes into the tank, so a repair involving sealants, treated timber or heavy debris is worth discussing with whoever maintains the system.
