How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Houghton

Insulation in a wet wall holds water against the framing. Left alone, it stays wet well past the point where the surface looks normal. The crew opens the cavity when readings call for it.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   Water is lifted from low spots first, then from the edges of the room. Removing it from the lowest point stops it from seeping further.

2. Map where the water went

   Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.

3. Open what stays wet

   Sheet vinyl sometimes gets lifted along one edge so the plywood below can breathe. The technician decides how much comes up from the readings.

4. Dry and confirm

   Floor drying mats can pull water out of hard surfaces from below. The system runs until the readings flatten at the dry reference.
