Washing machine flooded kitchen, replace floors?

That's a lot of water. If you're going to use your deductible anyway, might as well get new floors as a result and get what you want, not what the previous tenant had.

You need to make sure it’s dry OP. Get some fans and dehumidifiers going now. Likely not a huge deal, but you absolutely don’t want to risk this.

I think it would be easily over your deductible, I’d contact your insurance for sure unless you want to do it on your own cash.

Definitely call the home owners insurance company should be covered. 1” or 1 ft should not matter damage is about the same.

I filed with usaa, I wasnt home at the time but my wife took a few videos of the kitchen flooded.

Watch the new bullshite insurance companies are doing they are depreciating building materials

The main thing is to watch your renewal for a claim surcharge since it's not a cat claim.

I'm going through this right now. We had a leak in the line going to the refrigerator. We were out of town and found it Sunday when we got back. We're having to get the wood floors and cabinets ripped out in our kitchen, dining room, den and entry hall. Our adjuster from State Farm has been less than desirable, filed the claim January 20...still no number on what we're getting from State Farm. We're remodeling the kitchen since the house is going to be torn up right now anyway

We had 13 industrial strength fans and 2 dehumidifiers from Servicemaster for 8 days after our leaks
