Open what stays wet

Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Questions in Millington
Can a leaking washer damage electrical wiring in Millington homes?
Yes, when water reaches outlets, cords or a panel, or runs down into a ceiling fixture. Keep the circuit off from a dry spot and have an electrician check it.
Is the drying equipment loud in a Millington home?
Air movers and dehumidifiers make steady noise while they run. The crew places them to dry the structure fastest, and they usually run for several days.
