How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Elko

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

   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

   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

   Sewage-tainted water from a drain backup is Category 3. The crew contains the area, wears protective gear and removes porous materials the water touched.

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.
