Appliance Leak Water Damage questions in East Rockaway, NY
Will a washer leak damage the apartment below?
It can. Water follows floors and walls down, so the unit below is checked and its occupant told.
Is appliance water dirty?
Supply water is clean at first. Drain water from a washer or dishwasher is Category 2, so porous materials that soaked in it are handled with more care.
Can I dry the cabinet myself with a fan?
A fan dries the surface but not the particleboard base, where moisture lingers and swells the material.
Who pays when a tenant's washer floods a neighbor?
That depends on the lease and each insurer. Document the damage and tell the landlord early.
Will insurance cover it?
A sudden hose or seal failure is often covered. Check the terms with your own insurer.
How long does drying take?
Three to five days in most cases.
