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 Kennewick

When a floor is wet in Kennewick, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Highlands, Creekstone, and Windsong. The yards here are rock over landscape fabric, which sheds water sideways instead of letting it soak into the ground.

What is behind the walls here

Ask when the houses in Kennewick were built and the answer is 1979 at the median, 58.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1979 with nearly six in ten houses older, the gardens are finished in decorative rock laid over woven fabric rather than in lawn, which is sensible in a place this dry and changes how the ground behaves entirely.

The drying weather

3 months in Kennewick have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 29.2 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in December at 1.27 inches of an annual 8.91; rain recorded at KENNEWICK 0.4 NNE 0.9 miles away and temperatures at KENNEWICK 3.7 miles away. December is the wettest month at 1.27 inches of an 8.91-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so there is almost no rain and the little there is arrives in winter; the ground beneath the fabric is dry every month of the year.

Where these losses tend to land

  • A fabric layer shedding rather than absorbing, so water travels across it to the lowest point
  • Rock hiding what is beneath, so a leak under it is invisible and unwalked
  • Ground kept permanently dry, so any water that does arrive meets soil that has never been wet

Frequently asked questions

What does the fabric under the rock do?

Keeps weeds down, which is what it is for, and it also sheds a good deal of water. Woven landscape fabric is far less permeable than the ground beneath it, particularly once it silts up, so rain and irrigation run along the top of it.

Where does water on the fabric end up?

At whatever is lowest, which is frequently the foundation. Water traveling across a fabric layer does not soak in where it lands, so it keeps going until it finds a gap or an edge, and the edge nearest the house is the one against the wall.

How is a leak found under a rock yard?

Not by looking, which is the difficulty. There is no green patch and no soft ground because nothing grows and nothing shows, so an irrigation or supply leak under rock is found by metering and pressure testing rather than by walking the garden.
