How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Hickman

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall, trim and wood. Pumping first and drying fast takes away the moisture it needs. Every hour of standing laundry water makes that job harder.

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

   The crew compares each wet reading with a dry spot in the same house. That reference sets the drying target for each material.

3. Open what stays wet

   Drywall that has wicked water upward may need a section cut out. Small holes near the floor let the cavity dry without opening the whole wall.

4. Dry and confirm

   Air movers push dry air across the wet surfaces while LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the room. The crew changes the setup as the readings change.
