How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Fairmont

Carpet pad soaks up washer water like a sponge and holds it long after the carpet surface feels fine. Gray discharge water in that pad invites odors and growth. The crew often removes the pad and dries the floor beneath it.

1. Pump out the laundry water

   Carpet gets a weighted extractor that squeezes water out of the pad. Any bulk water left behind goes into the air as vapor and slows drying.

2. Map where the water went

   Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.

3. 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.

4. Dry and confirm

   Dry means numbers, not feel. The final readings show every material at or near the reference, and the log goes into the claim file.

• Take a short video walk-through of the wet rooms
• Keep the daily moisture readings in the claim file
