How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Lake In The Hills
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.
-
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
Readings go beyond the visible stain, into the toe-kicks, the wall bases and the room next door. The map becomes the plan for equipment.
-
Open what stays wet
A cabinet toe-kick gets removed so air can reach the wet area behind it. The crew puts it back after drying, or marks it for the repair contractor.
-
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.
