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 Bremerton drying job

From Freestone and Navy Yard City to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Bremerton go to an independent local contractor. Moss grows thick on these shallow roofs and lifts the shingles off the deck, so the covering is held open across whole slopes.

Construction you will find here

Only 27 percent of Bremerton's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1969 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1969 with nearly three quarters of the stock older, the roofs are shingle at a shallow pitch under trees, and in this climate moss establishes on them and grows between and under the courses until it is lifting the covering off the deck.

Conditions for drying

December brings 9.92 of the 56.93 inches Bremerton sees in a normal year, and August averages 66.2 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at BREMERTON, 2.6 miles away. December is the wettest month at nearly ten inches of a fifty-seven inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season is long, mild and unbroken; that is exactly the condition moss needs, and it grows through the months the roof is under most load.

What tends to go wrong in Bremerton

  • Moss growing under and between the shingles, so the covering is lifted rather than worn
  • A whole slope affected rather than a point, so the failure is general and the water enters in many places
  • Growth that holds water against the roof, so the deck below stays wet between rain as well as during it

What is wet decides where this starts. Independent Bremerton contractors handle extraction and drying, and mold inspection and remediation close out the same job.

Frequently asked questions

How does moss actually damage a roof?

By getting underneath it. It establishes on the surface and then grows between and under the courses, and as it thickens it lifts the shingles off the deck, so the covering stops lying flat and water gets past it in a great many places at once rather than one.

Should it be scraped off?

Carefully if at all, because aggressive removal takes the surface of the shingles with it and makes things worse. Where the covering is still sound it can be treated and left to die back; where the moss has been lifting it for years the roof is usually past that.

Does this change what happens below?

It makes the entry diffuse rather than local, which changes the search. There is no single point to find, so the deck and the framing are read across the whole slope rather than traced back from a stain, and the wet area inside is often wider and shallower than a leak would give.
