What happens between the call and the rebuild

Four stages, in one order, described by the IICRC S500 standard. The contractor does each; how well each is done decides how much work the next one carries.

  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 a wet building in Pasco asks of a contractor

From Riverview and Downtown Pasco to the middle of town, water damage restoration calls in Pasco go to an independent local contractor. Circles of irrigated crop surround this city, and a pivot puts an inch of water on the ground in a pass.

The materials in these houses

Ask when the houses in Pasco were built and the answer is 2001 at the median, 38.6 percent of them finished by 1990. With a median of 2001 and under four in ten houses older, the subdivisions were built out into irrigated farmland, so the ground adjoining a good many of them is under center-pivot irrigation through the growing season.

Weather that sets the pace

January brings 1.03 of the 7.62 inches Pasco sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at PASCO TRI CITIES AP, 0.2 miles away. January is the wettest month at 1.03 inches of a 7.62-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so almost nothing falls naturally; the water in this ground between April and October is applied by machine.

How the losses here usually end

  • Applied water far exceeding the rainfall, so the ground water is agricultural in origin
  • Application on a cycle, so the ground is loaded repeatedly through the dry season
  • A source next door rather than on the lot, so nothing on the property explains it

Frequently asked questions

How much water does a pivot apply?

Around an inch in a pass, and it passes every few days through the season. Against an annual rainfall of under eight inches, a single field receives several times the natural precipitation of the area in a summer. Over a season that adds up to several feet of applied water on ground that would otherwise see almost none.

Does that reach the subdivisions?

Through the ground water, which is where it ends up. Applied water that is not taken up by the crop percolates down and raises the level beneath the surrounding area, including under houses built on the edge of the irrigated ground.

Is the pivot schedule predictable?

Quite, which makes it diagnosable. Pivots run on a cycle and the season has a clear start and end, so a basement or crawl space that goes wet in May and dries in November is pointing at the irrigation rather than at anything else.
