How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Knob Lick

Cabinet toe-kicks and the backs of base cabinets dry slowly. Moisture lingers there and nobody looks. The technician checks those spots with a meter before calling the room dry.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   A wet vacuum handles shallow films on vinyl, while a submersible pump deals with an inch or more. The crew matches the tool to the floor.

2. Map where the water went

   A thermal camera flags cold, wet patches behind finished surfaces. The meter then confirms whether the cold area holds water.

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

   Stubborn readings call for a second look. The crew checks for water trapped in a cavity, a closed cabinet or a layer that never got opened.

• Photograph the ceiling below an upstairs laundry
• Ask the crew for the water category and drying class in writing
• Keep the failed hose or valve until the adjuster sees it

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
