Laundry room water damage repair

A burst washing-machine hose can release a lot of water in a short time, and laundry rooms are often on the main or upper floor, right above finished living space. Flood Rewind rebuilds laundry rooms after mitigation, including flooring, drywall, cabinets, trim and paint, plus any damaged ceilings and walls in the rooms nearby or below.

Laundry rooms are small, but they often involve several trades: plumbing at the washer box, drywall, flooring, cabinets and trim. Electrical and plumbing work is done by licensed electricians and plumbers. We coordinate them in the right order so the room is ready for the washer and dryer as quickly as possible, and we repair the rooms below as part of the same project.

Signs you need laundry room water damage repair

Your laundry room may need repair if:

• Flooring around the washer is lifting, stained or soft
• Drywall behind the washer was cut out during mitigation
• Upper cabinets or a utility sink cabinet are swollen
• Baseboards and door casing are warped
• The ceiling of the room below shows stains or was opened
• Water traveled into a hallway, mudroom or closet next door

Our process after mitigation

Here's our laundry room process:

1. After mitigation: the property's mitigation company confirms the area is dry, and we inspect the laundry room and nearby rooms.
2. Estimate: we document flooring, cabinets, trim and finishes in a detailed estimate for your adjuster.
3. Structure and systems: we repair subfloor and handle framing, electrical and plumbing items such as the washer box.
4. Finishes: we install drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim and paint.
5. Final review: we walk through the room with you once the washer and dryer can go back in place.

Materials and options

• Flooring: water-resistant LVP, tile or laminate from our flooring options.
• Cabinets: upper cabinets and utility cabinets from our cabinet options.
• Paint: durable, washable paint finishes from our paint options.
• Rooms below: Ceiling water damage repair and finished basement reconstruction when water reached a lower level.

Insurance help

Washing-machine and drain-line leaks are common insurance claims. Coverage for the failed hose or part depends on your policy, while the resulting damage to floors, walls and the rooms below is often covered. We document every affected area, including adjoining hallways and lower levels, so your adjuster sees the full scope. See insurance claim reconstruction.

What our customers say

"Water leak that impacted our garage ceiling. From Jake, our Project Estimator to Samson the guy that did the restoration, this company excelled at all of it. Very happy with the work and it is amazing how good it looked when completed. Great folks to work with and gladly recommend them to anyone needing their services. And thank you Karrie for stopping by to process the paperwork, very convenient for me."
