A washing machine leak can quickly turn into a serious water damage problem. A loose hose, broken water supply line, clogged drain, or malfunctioning appliance can leave water across your laundry room and spread it into nearby rooms. Knowing what to do when a washing machine floods your house can help limit damage and protect your property.

First, turn off the washing machine and shut off its water supply if it is safe to do so. Avoid touching electrical appliances or outlets in wet areas. If water is near electrical equipment, stay clear and contact a qualified professional. Remove standing water only when it is safe, and move furniture or belongings away from affected areas.

It is also important to dry wet floors, walls, and nearby materials thoroughly. Water can see beneath flooring and into subfloors, creating conditions for mold growth and lingering odors. If the flooding is extensive or water has entered hidden spaces, professional water damage restoration may be necessary.
