How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Magnolia

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

   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

   Wet insulation holds water against framing. Pulling it out lets the studs dry and keeps moisture from sitting in the 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.
