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 Clearfield drying job

From Vae View and Coventry Park to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Clearfield go to an independent local contractor. Boards laid across the roof trusses here carry stored belongings on framing that was only ever meant to hold a ceiling.

Construction you will find here

51.7 percent of Clearfield's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1989, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, the roofs are trussed rather than framed with rafters, and a great many have had boards laid across the bottom chords to make a storage floor, which loads members designed only to hold a ceiling.

Conditions for drying

April brings 3.14 of the 26.24 inches Clearfield sees in a normal year, and July averages 77.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at WEBER BASIN PUMP PLT 3, 5.6 miles away. April is the wettest month at just over three inches of a twenty-six inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest arrival is the spring melt; a ceiling that takes water then is holding it under a boarded floor with belongings on top.

What tends to go wrong in Clearfield

  • A storage floor on the bottom chords, so the ceiling structure is carrying a load it was not designed for
  • Boards and contents over the insulation, so a wet ceiling has to be cleared before it can be read or dried
  • A load that is already there, so a ceiling holding water is carrying two things it should not be

Frequently asked questions

Why does storage in the attic matter after a loss?

Because of what it is sitting on. Roof trusses are designed so the bottom chord holds a ceiling and nothing else, and a boarded floor with belongings on it is a load they were never sized for. A ceiling that is also holding water is carrying two.

What has to happen before the ceiling can be dried?

The contents and the boards come out, which is most of the first day. Nothing above the ceiling can be read or reached through a floor with belongings on it, and the wet insulation is underneath all of that. It is slower than a clear attic by a long way.

Does the storage floor go back?

That is worth a conversation rather than an assumption. It was not part of the design, and if the ceiling has deflected at all the loading is the reason. Where it does go back, keeping it to the area over a bearing wall is the sensible compromise.
