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 Abilene

Our local pros take water damage restoration work across Abilene, from the middle out to Meadows Mobile Home Park. A Taylor County city in west Texas where long dry spells are broken by storms that deliver a large multiple of a monthly total in a night.

Housing stock

Building in Abilene clusters in the mid 1970s: the median unit dates to 1975, with 71.2 percent finished before 1990. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, largely single-story on slab, in a city where the recurring public worry has been the water supply rather than any flood.

Climate and water risk

Abilene averages 24.44 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ABILENE 3.3 SW 3.3 miles away, with June the wettest month at 3.08 inches. June leads at just over three inches within twenty-four for the year. That average describes almost nothing, because the events that matter are far outside it.

Common water damage problems in Abilene

  • Long dry spells punctuated by extraordinary single storms
  • Slabs standing on ground that shrinks away beneath them through a long drought
  • A landscape so level that a storm spreads out rather than running off
  • A place where drought is the normal condition and flooding the exception

Frequently asked questions

Nothing for two years and then everything in one night.

It is the shape of the climate rather than bad luck, and the two halves damage a building differently. Years of drought shrink the ground away from and beneath a slab, opening cracks several feet deep. The storm that ends the drought then puts water straight down those cracks to the footing and the soil swells hard against it.

The first rain after the drought did more harm than the drought did.

That is the usual order here. Ground that has shrunk and split takes the first heavy rain down its own cracks rather than across the surface, delivering it beside the foundation at depth, and the soil then expands with real force as it takes it up. Movement in both directions inside a fortnight is what breaks things.

What actually protects a house out here?

Keeping water off the building, which is a narrower job than drainage and a considerably more reliable one out here. The last few feet before the wall pitched away, roof discharge taken well clear, nothing built up hard against the foundation, and nothing of value on the floor of the lowest room. That is close to the whole of what an owner controls and it accounts for most of the avoidable loss.
