Preventing Washing Machine-Related Water Damage

While disasters can happen anytime, scheduling inspections and preventative maintenance can significantly reduce the risk of overflows and water damage. Consider these factors for effective laundry machine overflow prevention, especially in front-load washers:

• Check the front door seal for potential looseness or damage, which could allow water to leak.
• Another factor could be the water level switch itself. Sometimes, contacts on the switch become damaged or fused, which can cause overflows.
• Use detergents tailored to high-efficiency washers, and read instructions carefully for their use.
• Inspect the drain pipe for potential clogs, one of the most common causes of washer overflows.

SERVPRO’s High-End Water Extraction Tools and Strategies

Water damage removal techs at SERVPRO focus heavily on extraction before drying a water-affected space. This strategy has several benefits:

• Several passes of moisture extraction can accelerate drying by as much as 500%.
• Extraction is environmentally friendly, using mops, squeegees, and specialized units to address moisture in hard flooring and tile grout. OSHA-approved antimicrobial solutions can remove discoloration and odors in tile grout and other vulnerable areas.
• Extraction is especially effective on area rugs and other porous surfaces.
