Do I need a water damage restoration company?

Water can destroy your property in a short time. It takes less than 24 hours clean water to start creating mold spores. The sooner the washing machine leak is dried, cleaned and restored, the lower your risk for hazardous mold growth.

  • Safety first. If it is safe to do so, unplug the washer. If the plug is exposed to moisture, turn off the electrical breaker. These actions prevent electrical shock while you clean up the washing machine flood.
  • Then, stop the source of the washing machine leak. Turn off the water supply to the washer. Either turn off the water valves to your washing machine or turn off the main water supply to prevent further water damage.
  • Finally, soak up standing water. You can use towels or a mop to soak up standing water. Water extraction equipment and air movers (like fans) may be necessary to ensure all the moisture from the leaking washer is removed. Act quickly! Time is of the essence to prevent additional damage.

When you have your washing machine flood under control, you need to stop the washing machine from flooding. The most common problem with leaking washing machines are faulty hoses. A leak in your intake hose can cause a washing machine flood. The water pump or drain pump is the part on a washing machine that drains the water from the tub. If you have water leaking from the washing machine during a wash or drain cycle, it is probably coming from the area around the drain pump. A loose hose clamp or a leaking hose connected to the pump should be considered to repair the washing machine leak. Washing machine drain overflow may also be a culprit to your washing machine flood. Snake out the line and ensure adequate drainage.

Depending on the amount of water from your washing machine flood, you may need professional equipment. Abbotts can be on-site within 60 minutes.

We work with ALL insurance providers.

How do I choose a Denver Water Damage Restoration Company?

Water damage from washing machine leaks require fast action. In high humidity conditions mold begins growing in less than 24 hours. A good water damage restoration company will offer immediate response 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Washing machines use up to 30 gallons of water per load. Washing machine intake hoses can supply more than 600 gallons of water in an hour! That much water from a washing machine leak can cause a lot of damage if not properly dried. Washing machine drain overflow and water from leaking washing machine may also contain contaminants. Professional grade disinfectants may be required to sanitize the area.

Find a Professional Water Damage Restoration Company

A reputable water damage restoration company will do the best work, saving you from having to spend money on equipment and supplies to clean up the washing machine flood. They will also save you additional money on expensive repairs down the road if not thoroughly dried. Look for a water damage restoration company that offers free inspections and detailed estimates using industry-specific estimating software, too. 

Hiring a professional and reputable water damage restoration company will save you money in the long-run.

Reputation Matters

Expertise

A water damage cleanup company that offers a wide range of water restoration services is going to be preferable compared to a company that offers fewer services. This is the easiest way to determine general expertise. A company with many options is more likely to have had training in all of the different options.

Online Reviews

Look for a water cleanup services company who is highly regarded and has a solid reputation. While word of mouth is still one of the best indicators, online reviews are great option to locate quality water damage cleanup and restoration professionals. A quick check with the Denver Better Business Bureau is always a good idea, too.

Answering Your Water Damage Restoration Questions

How much does it cost for water damage restoration?

Average water damage restoration costs range from $2000 to $5000. This includes water extraction and drying as well as repairs to ceiling and walls resulting from the water damage.

How long does it take to repair water damage?

The length of time it takes to repair water damage depends on a variety of factors including how much water there is and what kind of material is impacted. Once the water is extracted, drying equipment like air movers and dehumidifiers are installed. For small areas with clean water, the entire process is usually completed in just a few days. For larger areas or contaminated water, it can take several weeks, even months, to get you back to normal.

What causes water damage?

Water damage results from an excessive amount of water. Common causes of water damage include broken pipes, frozen pipes, broken sprinklers, leaking appliances, toilet overflow, sump pump failure, clogged gutters, rain water, roof leak, foundation leak, basement leak, attic leak, HVAC leak, and floods. The longer water sits, the more damage it will cause.
