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 San Angelo involves

When a floor is wet in San Angelo, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Santa Rita, Rio Vista, and ASU - College Hills. The showers in these houses have a niche cut into the wall for bottles, which puts a hole in the wet wall.

What the houses are made of

Roughly 31,715 of San Angelo's 44,176 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1978; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1978 with over seven in ten predating 1990, a great many of these bathrooms have been redone with a tiled recess set into the shower wall, formed by cutting back into the framing between two studs.

Drying conditions

On the 1991–2020 normals, San Angelo gets 22.58 inches a year with May heaviest at 2.97, and the drying season runs from a 47.4-degree January to a 84.8-degree July; rain recorded at SAN ANGELO 2.2 WSW 2.1 miles away and temperatures at SAN ANGELO 5.4 miles away. May is the wettest month at 2.97 inches of a 22.58-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so almost nothing here comes from outside; the wet area that runs every day is the shower, and this is the deepest cut in it.

How water losses tend to end in San Angelo

  • A recess formed into the framing of a wall that is wetted daily
  • Corners and a sill in the tiling, which is where any waterproofing is weakest
  • A shelf that holds water rather than shedding it, right at the cut

Frequently asked questions

Why is a shower niche a common leak point?

Because it puts corners and a flat shelf into a surface that should be smooth and sloped. The waterproof layer has to be carried into the recess and around five interior corners, and each one is a place it can be missed. The shelf itself is often set level, so water stands on it rather than draining back.

Where does a niche leak end up?

Straight into the wall, because the recess is cut into the framing. There is no cavity behind a properly built niche, only the back of the wall beyond it, so a failure wets the studs and whatever is on the other side. That is frequently a bedroom wall or a closet.

Can one be repaired without redoing the shower?

Sometimes, if the failure is at the shelf and the rest of the wall is sound. The tile in the recess comes out, the waterproofing is remade properly with a fall on the shelf, and it is retiled. Where water has been getting past for a long time, the framing behind decides how far the work goes.
