How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Big Flat

A musty smell after an overflow can mean moisture is hiding behind the baseboards or under the vinyl. The technician checks with a meter before anything is closed up.

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

   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

   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

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