The four stages of a drying job

What the IICRC S500 standard lays out, in sequence. The equipment is the easy part; the order is what decides how much of each later stage there is to do.

  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.

Kenosha: what the drying job runs into

When a floor is wet in Kenosha, the call routes to an independent local contractor for water damage restoration, across town and out to Nash, Avalon Park, and Endee. The sewer district boundary runs through this area, so some streets are on the municipal system and some are not.

How these houses are built

Only 29.9 percent of Kenosha's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1970 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1970 with seven in ten houses older, the city grew outward past the edge of its sanitary district, so properties within a few blocks of each other are served by different systems and different authorities.

The climate a job dries in

5 months in Kenosha have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 16.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.26 inches of an annual 36.17; rain recorded at KENOSHA 1.7 S 2.3 miles away and temperatures at KENOSHA RGNL AP 3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.26 inches of a 36-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; which system a property is on determines what happens to it then.

The way a loss ends here

  • Two authorities within one neighborhood, so responsibility depends on the address
  • Different standards either side of the line, so capacity changes between blocks
  • A boundary that is invisible, so households assume they are on what their neighbors are on

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which sewer district this house is on?

From the bill and the district map rather than from the neighbors. The boundary follows the history of annexation rather than anything visible, so a street can be divided halfway along with houses on either system facing each other. It is a five-minute check and it saves a great deal of confusion at a bad moment.

Does it change what happens in a storm?

It can. The two systems were built to different standards at different times, so capacity and the presence of backflow protection vary across the line, and the same rainfall produces different results on either side of it. Households a block apart genuinely do have different exposure, which is worth knowing in advance.

Who should be called when it backs up?

Whichever authority actually serves the property, which is worth establishing before there is sewage on the floor. Calling the wrong one costs hours at the point when hours matter most, and the answer takes one phone call in advance. Having the right number written down somewhere before it is needed is worth the trouble.
