How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Pelham

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.

Map where the water went
Under an upstairs laundry, the technician checks the ceiling below. Water that dripped through the joists often leaves a larger wet patch than the stain.
-
Open what stays wet
Wet insulation holds water against framing. Pulling it out lets the studs dry and keeps moisture from sitting in the wall.
-
Dry and confirm
Air movers push dry air across the wet surfaces while LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the room. The crew changes the setup as the readings change.
