Our Appliance Leak Cleanup Process

When a washing machine leak causes property damage, our IICRC-certified technicians bring the tools, expertise, and methods needed to thoroughly clean and deodorize the affected areas, preventing the growth of mold and bacteria.

Initial Assessment

Our technician begins with a detailed inspection to identify the source of the leak, whether from faulty hoses, seals, or other internal components. We also assess surrounding areas for water damage and develop a cleanup plan.

Shutting Off Power

To ensure safety, we immediately disconnect the washing machine’s water supply and power. This eliminates further water leakage and potential electrical hazards during the cleanup process.

Water Extraction

Using professional-grade equipment, we efficiently remove all pooling water from the floor and nearby surfaces. Rapid water removal is essential to minimize damage and protect your property.

Dehumidification

Once standing water is removed, we deploy dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry the affected area, reducing humidity and preventing mold formation.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Our team meticulously cleans and sanitizes the affected areas, addressing any remaining moisture or contaminants. If needed, we apply antimicrobial treatments to inhibit mold growth and eliminate existing spores, ensuring the area is safe and hygienic.

Final Clean Up

Once the drying process is complete, we restore the area to its original condition, leaving it clean, dry, and ready for use.

Dangers of a Washing Machine Leak

Property Damage: Prolonged exposure to water can damage flooring materials, causing them to warp, buckle, or delaminate. Over time, this compromises your home's structural integrity. Water can also seep into walls, causing wood rot and further damage.
Mold Growth: Stagnant water creates the ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive. Mold spores can quickly spread throughout your property, potentially causing respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health concerns.
Electrical Hazards: Water near electrical outlets significantly increases the risk of electrical shock and potential fires. A leaking washing machine can also damage its internal components, causing short circuits and increasing the risk of appliance failure.
Increased Repair Costs: A persistent leak can harm key internal components, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Severe damage may render the appliance or affected areas irreparable, necessitating full replacements of the appliance, flooring, or other materials.
Water Waste and High Utility Bills: Continuous water leakage wastes a significant amount of water, driving up your utility bills.

Regular maintenance and prompt action at the first sign of a leak are essential to avoid escalating repair costs, health risks, and structural damage.
