How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Stratton

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

   The operator keeps hoses off stair edges and out of walkways. Cords stay up off the wet floor, and equipment runs from a protected outlet.

2. Map the moisture

   Laundry floors hide water beneath vinyl, and the base of the washer wall holds more. The map tells the crew where to put air movers and which spots need an opening.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Detergent residue is flushed from porous grout and baseboard with clean water, then extracted. Rinsing is what keeps a floor from feeling sticky once it dries.

4. Dry and verify

   IICRC S500, the industry drying standard, sets a target close to a dry reference taken from unaffected material. The crew does not stop at a floor that only feels dry.
