How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Otis

A closed laundry closet traps humid air after a leak. Without airflow and dehumidifiers, the damp corners stay damp. The crew sets equipment so moist air actually leaves the space.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   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

   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

   Swollen baseboards and soaked carpet pad come out first. Taking out trapped layers gives the air a way to reach the wet subfloor.

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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
