How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Rio Grande

A sealed vinyl floor keeps water trapped against the plywood below. That layer can stay wet for days with no sign above. Meters find it, and a drying system pulls it out.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   Portable units reach tight closets and basement corners that a truck hose cannot. Clearing the bulk water early makes every later step shorter.

2. 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.

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.

4. Dry and confirm

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