How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Western Springs

-
Pump out the laundry water
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.
-
Map where the water went
A thermal camera flags cold, wet patches behind finished surfaces. The meter then confirms whether the cold area holds water.
-
Open what stays wet
Only materials that cannot dry in place come out. The crew explains each opening and records it for the claim.
-
Dry and confirm
Once the log shows dry, the equipment leaves. The repair contractor then works from a clear record of what was wet and what dried.
