We received a call on a Saturday morning from a homeowner in Speedway, IN, with a busted water supply line to the washing machine. Water sprayed throughout the laundry room, and the homeowner said the drywall and floors were saturated. Unfortunately, the laundry room was on the second floor of the home, and you know what that means? Yes, the water drains down and affects the ceiling and carpet below.

Check The Machine And Change The Lines

It's essential to check around your washing machine for any signs of water leakage. This homeowner's water damage was due to a busted supply line, but there are many ways a washing machine can fail and cause damage to your Indianapolis home. Check the water hookup, water drainage, and around the door for signs of water leaking.

Pressurized water supply lines are one of the leading reasons that a home may suffer a flood. Take time to inspect your washing machine supply lines. It's recommended to replace them every five years, and especially if they appear cracked or show signs of deterioration. If you have the rubber hoses, you should consider replacing those with more reliable metal braided lines. You could be saving yourself time and money, and your home from damage.

If You Need Water Removal

If you should suffer water damage from a faulty washing machine, a broken water pipe, appliance failure, or sewer backup, it's essential to quickly call us to ensure the water is removed and the home cleaned. The longer you wait and the more time passes, the more damage the water can cause, and not to mention the evil four-letter word, "mold" may begin to grow.
