How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Malcolm

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

   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

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

• Write down which rooms and floors the water reached
• Note the date and time the leak was discovered

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