How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Costilla

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

   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 technician tests cabinet bases, door casings and the baseboard run. Water travels along wall bases, so readings continue past the visible stain.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Soap film is rinsed from floors and wall bases. Left behind, it stays tacky and holds both dirt and moisture.

4. Dry and verify

   Wet materials can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours, so the first day of equipment matters. The daily readings show the moisture falling.
