How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Maywood

   Gray discharge water gets handled with gloves and boots. The crew removes it from the floor, then treats the surface with an antimicrobial.

2. Map where the water went

   Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.

3. Open what stays wet

   Only materials that cannot dry in place come out. The crew explains each opening and records it for the claim.

   A technician returns each day to log temperature, humidity and material readings. Equipment stays until every wet material hits the dry target.
