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 Easton

Our local pros provide water damage restoration services in Easton and the surrounding area, including South Easton and West Ward. A city at the confluence of the Delaware and the Lehigh where steep hills rise from both rivers, and the median house dates to 1938.

Housing stock

Building in Easton clusters in the late 1930s: the median unit dates to 1938, with 89.8 percent finished before 1990. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, dense rowhouse and masonry construction on the flat at the confluence and on the hillsides above it. Solid masonry absorbs a great deal of water and gives it back slowly, so drying schedules here run well past what framing readings alone suggest.

Climate and water risk

Of the 51.01 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.57 fall in July; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1.2 miles away at PHILLIPSBURG-EASTON BRG. July brings the wettest month, and the confluence governs the low ground. Two rivers with different watersheds meet here, so the local level depends on whether they rise together, while the hills above deliver runoff to the flat within minutes of a heavy cell.

Common water damage problems in Easton

  • Two rivers meeting, so the local level depends on whether their peaks coincide
  • Steep hills delivering runoff to the confluence flat within minutes
  • Solid masonry that holds water and lengthens every drying schedule
  • Roof planes running continuous across several addresses, so a leak is nobody's alone

Frequently asked questions

Do the two rivers rise together?

Sometimes, and that is the case that matters. They drain different watersheds of different sizes, so a storm centered over one can raise it while the other stays low, and the level at the confluence is far worse when both come up at once. Following both gauge forecasts rather than a single number is worth the small effort, because the difference between coincident and staggered peaks often decides whether the flat floods at all.

The wall we share is wet from both sides and only we are drying it.

Equipment on one side of a shared wall pulls moisture through from the other indefinitely, so this needs raising rather than tolerating. Get the readings on the shared assembly recorded, put the access request in writing, and if the building is insured let the adjuster know the wall is wet from both faces. That record is what carries any later conversation about who pays for what.

How long does a masonry rowhouse take to dry?

Considerably longer than a frame house, and the difference is substantial rather than marginal. Solid brick and stone absorb a large volume and release it slowly, so plaster and framing can reach target while the masonry behind is still wet and re-wetting them. Ask for readings taken in the masonry itself and expect a schedule measured in weeks for a serious event.
