How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Sorrento

Cabinet toe-kicks and the backs of base cabinets dry slowly. Moisture lingers there and nobody looks. The technician checks those spots with a meter before calling the room dry.

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

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