How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Pinckard

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

   Recovered wash water goes into the machine's tank and out to a proper disposal point. It is never sent toward another room or a storm drain.

2. Map the moisture

   The technician checks the room below an upstairs washer. A dry-looking ceiling there can still hold wet insulation.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Wash water is gray water, so the crew washes hard surfaces and applies an EPA-registered antimicrobial where the standard calls for it.

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.
