How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Yakutat

Drywall pulls water upward from a wet floor like a wick. A stain that climbs a few inches means water is already inside the wall. Early extraction leaves less water to climb.

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

   A cabinet toe-kick gets removed so air can reach the wet area behind it. The crew puts it back after drying, or marks it for the repair contractor.

4. Dry and confirm

   A technician returns each day to log temperature, humidity and material readings. Equipment stays until every wet material hits the dry target.

• Keep the daily moisture readings in the claim file
