The order a drying job runs in

Equipment matters less than sequence. IICRC S500 sets out these stages, each of them the contractor's to carry out, and each one sizing the stage that follows 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 conditions particular to Enon

When a floor is wet in Enon, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Rivermont, Cameron Hills, and Woodvale. A power station stands beside this community, and a station of that size moves an enormous volume of cooling water.

What is behind the walls here

Roughly 1,079 of Enon's 1,774 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1981; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1981 with six in ten houses older, the residential area sits next to a major generating station, whose intake and discharge structures and their associated ponds occupy ground alongside the housing.

The drying weather

A normal year here delivers 50.34 inches, 6.74 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 80.1 degrees in July; rain recorded at CHESTER 6.6 E 2.3 miles away and temperatures at HOPEWELL 3.1 miles away. July is the wettest month at 6.74 inches of a 50-inch year and one month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain arrives in midsummer; that is also when cooling demand is highest and the discharge is warmest.

Where these losses tend to land

  • Very large managed water bodies alongside, so levels are set by operations not weather
  • Warm discharge water, so the local ground and air conditions differ from the region's
  • Industrial drainage adjoining residential, so the two systems meet at a boundary

Frequently asked questions

What does a generating station do with water?

Takes an enormous amount in for cooling and puts it back warmer. The intake and discharge structures, and the ponds associated with them, are large managed water bodies sitting next to ordinary residential ground. The ponds associated with it are large enough to show on any aerial image of the area, and they are managed to a level rather than left to find their own.

Does the warm discharge affect the area?

Locally, yes. Water returned warm raises the temperature of what it is discharged into, which affects fog, humidity and how quickly things dry in the immediate area, particularly in the cooler months when the contrast is greatest. That shows up most in autumn and winter mornings, when the contrast between the discharge and the air is greatest and the fog sits longest.

Who holds the information on the levels?

The operator, and it is generally available because these facilities are closely monitored. Where a property's ground water seems to follow something other than the rainfall, that data is worth asking for rather than guessing at. Facilities of this kind report their intake and discharge figures, so the numbers exist rather than having to be estimated from observation.
