How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in San Luis Obispo
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.
-
Pump out the laundry water
A wet vacuum handles shallow films on vinyl, while a submersible pump deals with an inch or more. The crew matches the tool to the floor.
-
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
Swollen baseboards and soaked carpet pad come out first. Taking out trapped layers gives the air a way to reach the wet subfloor.
-
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.
