How Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Works in Tunnel Hill

Map where the water went
Under an upstairs laundry, the technician checks the ceiling below. Water that dripped through the joists often leaves a larger wet patch than the stain.
-
Open what stays wet
A cabinet toe-kick gets removed so air can reach the wet area behind it. The crew puts it back after drying, or marks it for the repair contractor.
-
Dry and confirm
Once the log shows dry, the equipment leaves. The repair contractor then works from a clear record of what was wet and what dried.
