How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Bennettsville

-
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
Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.
-
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
Floor drying mats can pull water out of hard surfaces from below. The system runs until the readings flatten at the dry reference.
