How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Humphreys

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

   A sump-style pump handles deep pooling in a basement laundry corner. Shallow films on upstairs floors get a wand and a squeegee instead.

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

   Swollen baseboard and the bottom strip of soaked drywall are cut out cleanly. The crew takes out only what the readings show will not dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment placement changes as the room dries. The technician moves air movers away from areas that read dry and toward areas that lag.
