How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Oglethorpe

A musty smell after an overflow can mean moisture is hiding behind the baseboards or under the vinyl. The technician checks with a meter before anything is closed up.

1. Pump out the standing water

   The crew sets submersible pumps and extraction wands where the water is deepest. The technician confirms the supply is closed and the power is safe before any equipment is plugged in.

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.
