How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Sweet Briar

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.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Truck-mounted units handle large volumes, and portable extractors reach into closets and up stairs. The crew picks the machine that fits the doorway and the depth.

2. Map the moisture

   The technician checks the room below an upstairs washer. A dry-looking ceiling there can still hold wet insulation.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Soap film is rinsed from floors and wall bases. Left behind, it stays tacky and holds both dirt and moisture.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers go onto the wet surfaces and LGR dehumidifiers pull water from the air. The crew sizes both to the room's drying class.
