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 Rock Springs

The Rock Springs area our local pros cover for water damage restoration takes in Blairtown. A high desert city on Bitter Creek in southwestern Wyoming, where ten inches of precipitation fall in a year and the surrounding ground is alkali soil that sheds almost everything.

Housing stock

Building in Rock Springs clusters in the early 1980s: the median unit dates to 1981, with 64.1 percent finished before 1990. Two thirds of the housing predates 1990, most of it over full basements as the regional standard for frost depth. Alkali soils here are fine textured and crust readily, so they accept very little water and the salts they carry attack concrete and metal in prolonged contact.

Climate and water risk

Of the 10.25 inches that arrive in an average year, 1.74 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 0.7 miles away at ROCK SPRINGS 0.9 S. May brings the wettest month at under two inches, and the creek through the city is ephemeral, dry for much of the year and carrying flow within minutes when its catchment gets rain. Most of the water reaching buildings arrives as snow and releases in a compressed spring melt.

Common water damage problems in Rock Springs

  • An ephemeral creek carrying flow within minutes of rain on its catchment
  • Alkali soils that crust and shed, accepting almost none of an intense cell
  • Salts in the soil attacking concrete and metal in prolonged contact below grade
  • A melt running across the surface because the subsoil beneath is still frozen

Frequently asked questions

The concrete at the base of the foundation is flaking.

In alkali soils that is often salt rather than ordinary weathering. Salts in the ground draw moisture and crystallize in the pores of concrete and mortar, breaking the surface apart from within, and they corrode buried metal at the same time. It is slow and it accelerates wherever the ground beside a wall stays damp. Keeping that ground as dry as possible is the practical control, since the soil chemistry cannot be changed.

The creek is dry almost all year.

It is a channel nonetheless, and it carries flow within minutes when its catchment gets rain, because this ground absorbs almost nothing. Anything built, fenced, or stored in its path is exposed on those occasions. Looking at the channel during a storm rather than on a dry day is the way to understand what it actually does, and it is worth doing before deciding what to keep near it.

Snow drifts against one side of the house every winter.

Wind decides where it lands, and where it lands decides where the meltwater goes. A drift built against a wall through the winter melts directly against the foundation rather than across open ground, concentrating a season of precipitation at one spot. Snow fencing, or changing what sits upwind of the building, moves the drift. It is a landscaping decision with a direct effect on the foundation.
