How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Scottsville

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

   A moisture meter and a thermal camera show the wet zone. The technician marks the edge of the wet area on the floor and the walls.

3. Open what stays wet

   Swollen baseboards and soaked carpet pad come out first. Taking out trapped layers gives the air a way to reach the wet subfloor.

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.
