How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Lewis

Soapy residue left on a floor holds moisture and dirt. The crew rinses and extracts again so the surface can dry instead of staying tacky and damp.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Truck-mounted units handle large volumes, and portable extractors reach into closets and up stairs. The crew picks the machine that fits the doorway and the depth.

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

   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

   When every reading meets the target, the crew removes the equipment and hands over the drying log. That log goes into the claim file.
