How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in North Chatham

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.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   Water is lifted from low spots first, then from the edges of the room. Removing it from the lowest point stops it from seeping further.

2. Map where the water went

   A moisture meter and a thermal camera show the wet zone. The technician marks the edge of the wet area on the floor and the walls.

3. Open what stays wet

   Drywall that has wicked water upward may need a section cut out. Small holes near the floor let the cavity dry without opening the whole wall.

4. Dry and confirm

   Floor drying mats can pull water out of hard surfaces from below. The system runs until the readings flatten at the dry reference.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Owners live in 100% of the occupied homes in the ZIP codes around North Chatham, according to the ACS. The typical home in the ZIP codes around North Chatham was built in the years before 1940. Homes from this era often put the washer in a basement or a back porch. Old floor drains, galvanized supply pipes and plaster ceilings change how a leak spreads. Plaster below an upstairs laundry holds water and can come down.

Cold basement slabs slow drying after a washer leak. The crew uses floor mats and warm air to move moisture out of the concrete and the lower walls. With most homes owner-occupied, the washer is often the owner's own purchase. The owner decides whether to repair or replace it after the dry-out.

• Report the loss to the insurer soon after discovery
