So often we are called to mitigate water damage due to a washing machine leak from a failure in some part either the hose or mechanically inside.

This could have been very worst because the laundry room was on the second floor. The family happen to notice the carpet in the hallway was getting wet before the water can get to a level to damage the walls and flow to the bottom level
