How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Dahlgren

The crew's job is the water: pumping, cleaning and drying so the conditions for mold go away. Readings that return to the dry reference show the moisture is gone.

1. Pump out the standing water

   The operator works from the lowest spot outward, so water does not run back across cleared floor. Furniture goes up on blocks to keep the legs out of the puddles.

2. Map the moisture

   The map sets the drying class, from 1 to 4, which controls how much equipment the room needs. A small spill on tile is Class 1, and soaked plaster or hardwood climbs higher.

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

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