How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in New Ellenton

Carpet gets a weighted extractor that squeezes water out of the pad. Any bulk water left behind goes into the air as vapor and slows drying.

Open what stays wet

-
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.
