Washing machine leak?Water spreads beyond the laundry room.
A failed supply hose, loose drain line, overflowing machine or hidden connection leak can release a large amount of water in a short time. TNT Restoration and Construction helps homeowners identify affected areas, remove water, dry the structure and repair damaged finishes.
Where washing-machine water commonly spreads.
Laundry losses can move under the appliance and into nearby rooms before all of the moisture is visible.
Laundry room flooring
Water can move beneath appliances, finished flooring and underlayment.
Walls & baseboards
Lower drywall, trim and wall cavities can absorb moisture around the machine and plumbing.
Nearby rooms
Closets, bedrooms and hallways next to the laundry area may be affected even when they look dry.
Downstairs ceilings
Upstairs laundry leaks can travel into ceilings, insulation and rooms below.
Stopping the washer does not remove the water.
Closing the supply or turning off the machine stops new water, but moisture may remain under floors, behind baseboards and inside wall or ceiling assemblies. The next step is to document the spread, extract standing water, dry the structure and plan repairs.
Dry, repair and rebuild.
Depending on the loss, the project may involve structural drying, drywall, trim, paint, flooring and ceiling work.
