How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Catharpin

Anything that stays wet past the first two days turns into a bigger job. Pad and drywall that might have dried in place can become tear-out.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Recovered wash water goes into the machine's tank and out to a proper disposal point. It is never sent toward another room or a storm drain.

2. Map the moisture

   The technician runs a pinless meter across the floor, the lower wall and any ceiling below. Each reading goes onto a sketch of the room.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Carpet pad that soaked up gray water usually comes out. The carpet itself may be cleaned and dried in place if the loss is caught early.

4. Dry and verify

   A closed cabinet base or wall cavity gets a small opening or a vent so air can reach the trapped water.
