How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Ider

A sealed vinyl floor keeps water trapped against the plywood below. That layer can stay wet for days with no sign above. Meters find it, and a drying system pulls it out.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   Portable units reach tight closets and basement corners that a truck hose cannot. Clearing the bulk water early makes every later step shorter.

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

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