How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Sturgis

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

   Soapy water foams in the wand and the tank. The operator empties and rinses often so suction stays strong, and runs extra passes on the floor.

2. 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.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Cabinet kick plates are pulled so the cavity behind them can breathe. Particleboard cabinets that stayed wet may be removed and listed in the scope.

4. Dry and verify

   Floor drying mats can pull water up from hardwood or from a wet subfloor. The crew uses them where air movers alone are too slow.
