How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Willits

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall, trim and wood. Pumping first and drying fast takes away the moisture it needs. Every hour of standing laundry water makes that job harder.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   Gray discharge water gets handled with gloves and boots. The crew removes it from the floor, then treats the surface with an antimicrobial.

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.
