Washing Machine Drain Hoses Can Cause Water Damage

The drain hose on your washing machine is busted, so what now? Without a fix, water can quickly penetrate washroom floors and carpeting, potentially damaging the subflooring. Our professionals can limit water damage in your home and help prevent hazards such as rotting.

When it comes to water damage in your Jamestown home, time is of the essence, which is why we can respond to your calls 24 hours a day to begin the mitigation process quickly. Once dispatched, our IICRC, Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, certified professionals can rapidly arrive at your Jamestown home to begin mitigating water damage. Our techs start by inspecting your home to find the source of the leak. We can repair minor drainage hose issues; however, a plumber may be needed in cases of severe leaks. Once the source of a water leak has been plugged, our SERVPRO technicians can get to work extracting water from your home. Leaks from household appliances like washing machines are often minor, and we can use industrial-grade wet vacuums to clean up standing water.

Water Clean Up in Jamestown

Once the water is removed, we can start searching for excess moisture in your home. Detecting the extent of moisture penetration in your carpeting and flooring is as easy as using moisture meters. If excess moisture is detected in your carpeting, we can use carpet tools to disengage carpet from the subflooring. Once your house and carpeting have been dried, we can reattach and reseal your carpets. However, some carpeting may have to be discarded and replaced if it is severely water damaged.

To help ensure that your sub-flooring is not at risk of rotting, we can deploy air movers to force water out of your floor. Dehumidifiers can also draw moisture out of the wood to quickly dry out your home.

If you have experienced a washing machine leak and need assistance, contact SERVPRO of Jamestown / Olean at (716) 338-4901. We are available 24/7 and can immediately put you on track to getting your home back in order.
