How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Wetmore

Insulation in a wet wall holds water against the framing. Left alone, it stays wet well past the point where the surface looks normal. The crew opens the cavity when readings call for it.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   A wet vacuum handles shallow films on vinyl, while a submersible pump deals with an inch or more. The crew matches the tool to the floor.

2. Map where the water went

   Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.

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.
