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.

Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.
-
Open what stays wet
Sheet vinyl sometimes gets lifted along one edge so the plywood below can breathe. The technician decides how much comes up from the readings.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
Homeowners policies often cover water damage from a sudden and accidental discharge, such as a burst supply hose. Slow seepage, a worn part and the cost of the washer itself usually fall outside that coverage. The policy wording decides, so ask the insurer before counting on payment.
- Keep the daily moisture readings in the claim file
- Ask the insurer whether drain backup needs an endorsement
- Keep the claim number with the drying paperwork
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
