How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Tallula

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

   Carpet gets repeated passes with a weighted wand, because wash water clings to the backing. Hard floors get squeegeed toward the pump intake or the drain.

2. Map the moisture

   A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches that the eye misses. The meter then confirms whether a patch holds water or only looks cool.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Wash water is gray water, so the crew washes hard surfaces and applies an EPA-registered antimicrobial where the standard calls for it.

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.
