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.

Open what stays wet

Dry and confirm

Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Questions in Sikes
Is washer water safe to clean up without help in Sikes?
Clean hose water is one thing, but gray discharge and drain backup water carry contaminants. A crew uses protective gear and the right cleaning products. Hard-to-see wet layers need meters anyway.
Can a leaking washer damage electrical wiring in Sikes homes?
Yes, when water reaches outlets, cords or a panel, or runs down into a ceiling fixture. Keep the circuit off from a dry spot and have an electrician check it.
Why does a small washer leak in Sikes cost so much to dry?
Water spreads under floors and into walls, so the wet area is bigger than the puddle. The cost follows the area, the materials and how long the water sat.

The technician checks safety, extracts standing water, scans with meters and a thermal camera and sets drying equipment. Photos and notes start the claim file.
Can the crew in Sikes dry a finished basement laundry?
