Water from a washer, sink or appliance drain can carry soil and microbes into occupied rooms. Water can move into porous flooring, wall bases, cabinets and contents. Jobs involving washing machine gray water, sink gray water cleanup and water damage around the affected room need a check beyond the visible puddle.
If an appliance hose bursts, the appliance trade handles its equipment. A local water crew removes pooled water and checks concealed layers. Nearby cabinetry can conceal a larger wet area.
