How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Prospect Heights

Anything that stays wet past the first two days turns into a bigger job. Pad and drywall that might have dried in place can become tear-out.

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 runs a pinless meter across the floor, the lower wall and any ceiling below. Each reading goes onto a sketch of the room.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Swollen baseboard and the bottom strip of soaked drywall are cut out cleanly. The crew takes out only what the readings show will not dry.

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.
