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 Olympia

Our local pros provide water damage restoration services in Olympia and the surrounding area, including Quixote Village. A Thurston County city at the very bottom of an inlet, receiving fifty-nine inches of rain a year with the downtown built on filled tideflats.

Housing stock

Building in Olympia clusters in the early 1980s: the median unit dates to 1982, with 60.6 percent finished before 1990. Three fifths predates 1990, with the center on made ground at the head of the water and the residential neighborhoods climbing the slopes behind it.

Climate and water risk

Of the 59.01 inches that arrive in an average year, 9.67 fall in November; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1.2 miles away at OLYMPIA 1.3 S. November leads at nearly ten inches within fifty-nine for the year, and the wet season runs October into April without a break in it.

Common water damage problems in Olympia

  • A downtown on filled tideflats at the head of an inlet, where the tide reaches its limit
  • Nearly ten inches in the wettest month, on ground with five months to get through
  • A dense layer beneath the slopes that turns downward soaking into sideways travel
  • Made ground that continues to settle and sits close to the water

Frequently asked questions

The streets downtown flood on a clear day at high tide.

At the head of an inlet the tide reaches its greatest range, and made ground built out over the old tideflats sits only a little above it. So a high tide with the right conditions puts water on the street with no rain involved at all. Following the predicted tide alongside the forecast is the useful habit, and the two together are what cause real trouble.

Ten inches in November and nothing dries until spring.

That is the season here rather than a fault, and it moves the timing of work rather than the need for it. Something found in November has five uninterrupted months to act on a building, with nothing drying meanwhile. Holding off until conditions improve means holding off until April, and the repair grows in the meantime.

The bluff behind the property keeps producing seeps.

Rain soaks through the loose upper material until it meets a dense glacial layer it cannot pass, then travels along the top of that boundary until the slope cuts through it. Where it emerges is decided by what is underground rather than by anything done to the yard above, which is why surface work rarely stops one.
