Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Montgomery

The Montgomery area our local pros cover for water damage restoration takes in Brookview Manor, Young Forte Village, and Village West. An Alabama city on a river bend where the built area spreads from a bluff down onto low ground that the river reaches when it is high.

Housing stock

The median home in Montgomery dates to 1978, and 69.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, spread between the bluff and the flats below it. Those two situations have almost nothing in common and the remedies do not transfer.

Climate and water risk

March is the wettest month here at 5.26 inches, part of an annual 54.57 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from MONTGOMERY 2.2 NE, 2.1 miles off. March tops the year at over five inches out of fifty-five. The wettest stretch falls when the growing season has not begun and the soil is carrying everything it can hold.

Common water damage problems in Montgomery

  • A bluff and a river flat within one city, with entirely different exposures
  • A late-winter rainfall peak arriving when nothing is drawing water out of the soil
  • Clay on the higher ground that sheds nearly everything that lands on it
  • Older street drainage laid before the ground above it was as built as it is now

Frequently asked questions

Bluff or flats: does it change what should be done?

Completely. On the bluff water arrives across the surface or sideways through the slope, and the work is interception above the building and getting roof water clear. On the flats it arrives from beneath as the river raises the level in the ground, and the work is a pit and a pump. A remedy matched to one is simply wrong for the other.

The flats beside the river were built on early.

They were, at heights fixed long before anyone had measured what the river could do, and the ground there is material the river itself laid down. That combination is why the oldest low-lying neighborhoods carry a different exposure from anything on the bluff, and why elevation for a specific address is worth establishing rather than assuming.

Nothing soaks in on the higher ground.

Clay of this kind takes water very slowly, so most of what lands has to be directed rather than absorbed. Roof water taken well clear and released where it can spread out, the last few feet before a wall pitched away, and a pit and pump for what still arrives cover most of it. Any proposal relying on this soil accepting water deserves scrutiny.
