How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Portola Valley
Insulation in a wet wall holds water against the framing. Left alone, it stays wet well past the point where the surface looks normal. The crew opens the cavity when readings call for it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dry and confirm
Once the log shows dry, the equipment leaves. The repair contractor then works from a clear record of what was wet and what dried.
