- Tell the landlord or association about the leak right away
- Ask the crew for the water category and drying class in writing
- Photograph the hose, the machine and the wet floor before cleanup
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.

Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Questions in Smicksburg
Do Indiana County homes need a permit for water damage drying?
Drying itself usually needs no permit. Rebuild work such as drywall or plumbing can, depending on local rules, so the repair contractor checks.

Say where the water came from, which floor the washer is on and whether the valves are closed. Mention wet ceilings below and the flooring. Those details tell the crew what to bring.
Can the crew work on a washer leak in a Smicksburg rental?
Yes, as long as the owner or manager approves access to the unit. Tenants should call the crew and tell the landlord at the same time.
