How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in North Monmouth

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

   Water is lifted from low spots first, then from the edges of the room. Removing it from the lowest point stops it from seeping further.

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

   Drywall that has wicked water upward may need a section cut out. Small holes near the floor let the cavity dry without opening the whole wall.

4. Dry and confirm

   Floor drying mats can pull water out of hard surfaces from below. The system runs until the readings flatten at the dry reference.
