Washing Machine Hose Leak In Grand Junction

Many consumers never give a seconds thought to the hoses that connect their washing machines to the main water supply. These hoses can deteriorate over time with needle-sized holes allowing water to leak all over the floor. In many other situations, cracks in the rubber may appear and lead to a complete break down in the hose allowing water to spread over the room at full pressure.

At SERVPRO, we have encountered these water damage situations in many Grand Junction homes over the years. Often water spreads over the linoleum or tile floor to adjacent rooms saturating carpets, hardwood flooring, and even wicking into the drywall of walls in the rooms. Water sometimes leaks through the floor to rooms below, saturating the ceiling below.

What Should Homeowners do in These Situations
Verify that it is safe to enter the area and that there are no live electrical circuits that are compromised and could cause electrocution. Either shut off the main water supply or the tap controlling the water to the washing machine feeder hose.

Call for help
Removing water and moisture can limit the damage from a water leak to walls, subfloors, and furniture. Drying the home as soon as possible can also reduce the potential for mold infestations.

Water Damage Mitigation
SERVPRO can respond in less than four hours on a 24 / 7 basis. We equip our trucks with equipment to remove surface water and moisture as fast as possible to limit the damage water can cause. Drywall can swell and may need to be replaced. Subfloors made of particle board may absorb water, swell and lose structural integrity.

Never hesitate to expedite the drying of carpets and underpads. SERVPRO uses water extraction equipment to remove excess water from the carpet and underpad. Reduce moisture by deploying air mover and dehumidifiers strategically in your home to bring humidity levels back to normal levels.
