How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Bolivar

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

   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

   Dry means numbers, not feel. The final readings show every material at or near the reference, and the log goes into the claim file.
