Once help arrives, the first thing a water mitigation contractor will do is inspect the home and
evaluate the damage. In order to properly evaluate the damage, they have special tools and
instruments they use to measure the moisture content of the home. To do this, they either
poke or rest the instruments on top of surfaces like floors, baseboards and ceilings in the
damaged rooms to get an accurate reading. Depending on the moisture content readings and
Institution of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) dry standards for the
state you live in, your contractor will assess if drying equipment is needed.
The longer water damage sits untreated, the more likely it is that additional
damage can occur. If it’s determined that drying equipment is needed,
dehumidifiers will often be placed in the home to prevent against further
damage like mold growth while the vendor is waiting for approval from the
insurance company, if one is involved. Dehumidifiers can be present for one
or multiple nights depending on factors such as the length of time the water
has been present and the source of the leak. The contractor working on
your home will be able to assess how long the dehumidifiers are needed.
Prevention of Further Damage
It’s time for one of the most important steps: removing any standing water from the
home. The removal process is actually much less complicated than you may think.
Contractors use fancy shop vacuums and rotate them around the room, sucking up
all the water that’s present in the area. The amount of time this phase takes varies
depending on the type of substrate that’s being dried, the size of the room and the
total amount of water that’s present.
Once any standing water has been
removed, it’s time to start drying out the
home. Your contractor will bring in
different types of air movers (think of
these like glorified fans) to help circulate
airflow throughout the room.
Don’t be surprised if they need to lift up a section of the carpet or position one of the air movers at
certain sections of the walls to ensure air is getting to the most saturated parts of the room. If you
have hardwood floors, they may use floor mats which help draw the water out of the floor. If needed,
they might even remove the baseboards and drill holes into the drywall to help the walls dry faster.
While some of these methods may sound extreme, they’re making every effort to dry the home
without having to demolish and rebuild, which could add multiple weeks to the project timeline and
become very costly.
Drying
Containment: The containment and drying phases happen simultaneously.
While drying out the home, wet areas are taped off in order to concentrate
the heat and suction to the rooms that need to be dried out. Containment is
critical as it enables the work crew to maintain the environment of the room
and dry the home as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Monitoring: Throughout the drying process, crews will stop by periodically to monitor
how the drying is progressing. Specifically, they monitor the dehumidifiers’ intake and
output temperatures and humidity levels to make sure the dehumidifiers aren’t putting
wet air out into the room. They’ll also go back and take readings of the same surfaces
they did during the inspection phase. As rooms are declared dry, crews will often move
equipment around to other areas of the home that are still wet.
