From standing water to a dry structure

This is the order IICRC S500 describes, and the order matters more than the machines. Each stage belongs to the contractor, and each one governs the stage after 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 a Green Bay building: what it takes

Green Bay homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or out in Olde North, Haevers Corners, and Three Corners. Heavy red lake clay lies under this city, and water moves through it so slowly as to barely count at all.

The local building stock

Ask when the houses in Green Bay were built and the answer is 1971 at the median, 77.7 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1971 with more than three quarters of the stock older, the city is built on the dense red lake clay of the bay's shoreline, a material that holds water and releases it extremely slowly.

What the weather does to a drying run

A normal year here delivers 32.25 inches, 4.11 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 69.3 degrees in July; rain recorded at GREEN BAY 3.8 SSE 3.8 miles away and temperatures at GREEN BAY BOTANICAL 5.6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.11 inches of a 32-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the totals are moderate and the ground is frozen half the year; clay this tight has a short season in which to shed anything.

Where Green Bay losses usually finish

  • Ground water cannot move through, so a wet spot stays wet for weeks rather than days
  • Foundation drains with nowhere to discharge into, so gravel trenches simply fill
  • Surface water running off rather than soaking, so the volume at the house is larger than expected

Frequently asked questions

What is red clay and why does it matter?

It is the fine sediment left on the bed of a glacial lake, and it is about as impermeable as soil gets. Water does not travel through it in any useful sense, so anything that gets into the ground here stays more or less where it went in.

Why do gravel drainage trenches fail in it?

Because a trench full of stone only works if water can leave the bottom of it. Surrounded by clay, it becomes a container: it fills during the wet season and stays full, and the water in it sits against whatever it was meant to protect.

What actually drains a lot here?

A pipe to somewhere lower, not a soakaway of any kind. Every drainage solution here has to carry water away by gravity to an outlet, and where there is no outlet, a pump. Ground absorption is not available in any useful quantity.
