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 High Point

The High Point area our local pros cover for water damage restoration takes in Windchase Townhomes and Foxcroft Townhomes. A Piedmont manufacturing city built around the furniture trade, where half the housing has gone up since 1990 and August brings the wettest month.

Housing stock

Of roughly 49,131 housing units, about 25,320 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1989. The stock mixes older mill and worker housing with substantial newer suburban growth, on red clay across rolling ground. Large showroom and manufacturing buildings occupy much of the older core, and their roofs and yards shed almost everything onto drainage laid out for a different era.

Climate and water risk

The nearest long-term record — HIGH PT, 2 miles out — puts the annual normal at 48.27 inches, with August heaviest at 5.06. August brings the heaviest rain as convective storms over clay that sheds nearly all of it. Large low-slope industrial roofs across the older districts add substantially to that runoff, arriving at creeks that have limited room to spread between developed blocks.

Common water damage problems in High Point

  • Extensive low-slope industrial roofing shedding almost everything it receives
  • Clay that hands almost the whole rainfall to whatever lies downhill
  • Creeks confined between developed blocks with limited room to spread
  • Older mill housing and newer suburban stock needing quite different remedies

Frequently asked questions

A large flat roof nearby seems to drain onto our street.

It very likely does, and at close to the full rainfall rate, because a low-slope roof absorbs nothing and is designed to shed quickly. The question worth asking is whether that runoff is detained before it reaches the public system. Detention serving large commercial buildings is usually a matter of public record, and whether one exists and is maintained makes a substantial difference downstream.

Our house is old mill housing. What is different about it?

It sits low, close to its neighbors, often on a shallow crawl space or piers, and it was built for walking distance to a plant rather than for how water would leave the site. The strips between houses are frequently flat and lower than the yards, so water collects there and stays. A shallow drain along that strip usually does more than anything done at an individual foundation.

The creek behind us rose several feet in an hour.

A confined channel draining developed clay does exactly that. Runoff arrives quickly because almost nothing soaks in, and the channel has little room to spread between blocks, so the level rises sharply rather than the flood widening. It falls just as fast. That leaves no useful window in which to move anything, so protection has to be permanent rather than deployed on the day.
