How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Goochland
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.

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.
-

A moisture meter and a thermal camera show the wet zone. The technician marks the edge of the wet area on the floor and the walls.

Open what stays wet
