Common Causes of Washing Machine Leaks

• A faulty tub seal.The water seal between your machine's outer tub and the transmission that turns it can wear down over time, which can cause leaks under the tub.
• A broken water pump.The drain hose connected to your water pump is a vulnerable area for holes. Check hose clamps and hose quality to ensure that there are no leaks.
• Faulty water supply valves.Make sure the valves work before connecting the hot and cold lines.
• Faulty water supply valves.Make sure the valves work before connecting the hot and cold lines backflow. If the laundry room does not have a utility sink, your machine likely drains into the sewer line via a pipe.

SERVPRO is Here to Help

Whether your laundry room is on the first floor of your home or in the basement, SERVPRO technicians have the tools necessary to extract water from your residence. Flooring materials like concrete and tile are very hardy, but over time, exposure to water can compromise their effectiveness. Without thorough drying, concrete can have chalky surface blooms (efflorescence) that come back periodically. In the case of ceramic tiles, too much water in the grout can create warping and expansion that can crack or otherwise compromise the adhesion of tiles to the floor. If the washing machine is on an upper level of a home, as is now the trend, water seepage presents another set of issues that are SERVPRO techs can identify and treat.

Whatever the case may be, SERVPRO professionals monitor moisture throughout the drying process to ensure that moisture content reaches normal levels for those surfaces to prevent further damage. Dormant mold spores exposed to some moisture can develop into troublesome colonies. In cases where moisture may have affected the subflooring, SERVPRO can set up centrifugal air movers and dehumidifiers to dry from underneath and restore your flooring to a preloss condition.
