How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Griswold

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 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

   Sheet vinyl over wet plywood gets lifted at an edge, so the wood beneath can release its water. Tile stays put unless the subfloor remains wet.

4. Dry and verify

   The technician returns each day to read the same spots. Equipment moves or gets added wherever a reading stalls.
