How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Hillsville

A closed laundry closet traps humid air after a leak. Without airflow and dehumidifiers, the damp corners stay damp. The crew sets equipment so moist air actually leaves the space.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   Carpet gets a weighted extractor that squeezes water out of the pad. Any bulk water left behind goes into the air as vapor and slows drying.

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

   Stubborn readings call for a second look. The crew checks for water trapped in a cavity, a closed cabinet or a layer that never got opened.

• Ask for an itemized scope of the mitigation work
