Guidelines for Handling Water Damage in Your Redington Beach Home After a Washing Machine Leak

Internal washing machine leaks can cause water damage in homes. Washing machines do not have to have to be poorly built, old or poorly installed to have an internal leakage. Overloading a washing machine regularly can loosen valves, gaskets, and bushings or cause cracks that could lead to leaks.

Washing machine internal leaks are considered to cause category 2 water damage because exposure to water that has passed through machine parts and contains detergent, could cause health problems. To handle water damage in your Redington Beach after a washing machine leaks, you can contact a water damage restoration technician (WRT) from SERVPRO. Before the professional arrives at your home, you should shut off the water supply lines to the washing machine and move items like furniture away from the standing water if possible.

Removing water from your home quickly is essential because it helps prevent additional destruction like mold growth. Mold can grow in open spaces like walls, corners and ceilings, and hidden places like the joins between two walls. You can reduce your losses when you work with restoration professionals from SERVPRO. When we arrive at a home, we evaluate the damage and then take steps to dry the structure and contents effectively. We can extract water from the water-logged areas using equipment like portable vacuum cleaners. Our technicians then start the drying process by setting up air movers and dehumidifiers in the affected areas. Air moving equipment pushes air around the area while the dehumidification equipment eliminates moisture from the air.

Our technicians also inspect all the contents exposed to water or high humidity for cleaning needs. We check clothing, closets, and storage areas for items requiring cleaning or deodorizing. We can leave your home looking nice, if not better than it was before the water damage. Once we are done with the cleanup, drying, and restoration work, we do a walk-through and request our customers to sign a certificate of satisfaction. You only need to hire one company to complete the restoration work.
