How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Sandy Hook
Carpet pad soaks up washer water like a sponge and holds it long after the carpet surface feels fine. Gray discharge water in that pad invites odors and growth. The crew often removes the pad and dries the floor beneath it.
-
Pump out the laundry water
Gray discharge water gets handled with gloves and boots. The crew removes it from the floor, then treats the surface with an antimicrobial.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
