How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Strathmere

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall, trim and wood. Pumping first and drying fast takes away the moisture it needs. Every hour of standing laundry water makes that job harder.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   The extraction crew picks a pump or a wand to fit the depth of the water. Pulling out the standing water first leaves less to evaporate into the air.

2. Map where the water went

   Under an upstairs laundry, the technician checks the ceiling below. Water that dripped through the joists often leaves a larger wet patch than the stain.

3. Open what stays wet

   Wet insulation holds water against framing. Pulling it out lets the studs dry and keeps moisture from sitting in the wall.

4. 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.
