How Washing Machine Drain Backup Water Damage Works in Fort Huachuca
-
Pump out the laundry water

Map where the water went
Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.

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.

- Stop using every sink, tub, toilet and washer in the home
- Keep children, pets and bare feet out of the water
- Leave the washer unplugged with both valves closed
- Skip the household vacuum and never mix bleach with other cleaners
- Photograph the water, the drain and damaged items from a safe spot
