Clover Water Damage Restored by SERVPRO
No residential property owner wants to deal with a washing machine overflow, resulting in Clover water damage. However, this is an unpleasant reality that many homeowners will have to deal with at some point. This appliance is one of the leading culprits where a malfunction leads to instant water pooling. If water damage, as a result of an overflow, hits your home, you need to know what steps to take so that you can address and resolve the issue quickly and correctly. SERVPRO's advice for prevention and information for water removal follow.
What Causes Washing Machine Overflow? There are several reasons why a washing machine overflow could transpire. Some of the causes include:
• electrical problem--within the appliance or the house system
• bad pressure switch or faulty half valve
• broken or displaced drainage hose
• clog in the drain line, or leak in water supply lines leading to substantial amounts of pooling and flowing water.
Why You Must Act Immediately. If an automatic washing cycle leads to a large volume of water intrusion when not one is at home, rapid water removal will mitigate damage and expenses. Doing so is important for several reasons, including the fact that standing water can increase your susceptibility to a mold infestation. Mold invasions can lead to unwanted health effects. If left untreated or undiscovered, large mold colonies can also cause damage to porous surfaces like drywall or ceiling, necessitating costly replacement. If the water, without wicking into drywall and furniture, cannot be removed quickly, then professional water removal and drying are highly recommended.
