How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Crete
Wet cardboard boxes of stored items stay damp for days. Move them onto a dry surface, or leave them for the crew if the floor is still wet.
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
The technician tests cabinet bases, door casings and the baseboard run. Water travels along wall bases, so readings continue past the visible stain.
-
Clean and pull what cannot dry
Swollen baseboard and the bottom strip of soaked drywall are cut out cleanly. The crew takes out only what the readings show will not dry.
-
Dry and verify
Equipment placement changes as the room dries. The technician moves air movers away from areas that read dry and toward areas that lag.
