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 Hollandale drying job

Hollandale homeowners reach an independent local contractor for water damage restoration whether the house is downtown or at the city line. The glaciers never reached this corner, so the valleys here are deep and the rock comes close to the surface.

Construction you will find here

Only 14 percent of Hollandale's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1950 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1950 with more than eight in ten houses older, the village sits in country the ice sheets missed, which left steep valleys and thin soil over fractured rock rather than the flat till of the rest of the state.

Conditions for drying

June brings 5.26 of the 36.89 inches Hollandale sees in a normal year, and July averages 70.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at BLANCHARDVILLE #2 5.6 miles away and temperatures at DODGEVILLE WWTP 11 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.26 inches of a 37-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain falls on steep ground in early summer; a narrow valley concentrates that quickly and there is nowhere for it to spread.

What tends to go wrong in Hollandale

  • Steep short valleys, so runoff arrives fast and passes fast
  • Thin soil over fractured rock, so water moves through the rock rather than the ground
  • Springs breaking out on the valley sides, so water appears partway up a slope

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean that the glaciers missed here?

That the landscape was never flattened or filled. The rest of the state was smoothed by ice and left with deep till; this corner kept its old valleys, so the ground is steep, the soil is thin and the bedrock is close underneath.

How does water move in ground like this?

Through the rock as much as through the soil. The bedrock is fractured, so water entering the ground travels along joints and bedding planes, and it can emerge as a spring on a hillside a long way from where it went in.

Does that change what drainage can achieve?

It changes where to put it. Intercepting surface water still works, but a good deal of what reaches a building here arrived through the rock rather than over the ground, and no amount of regrading affects that. Knowing which one you have matters first.
