How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Letcher

Soapy residue left on a floor holds moisture and dirt. The crew rinses and extracts again so the surface can dry instead of staying tacky and damp.

1. Pump out the standing water

   The operator keeps hoses off stair edges and out of walkways. Cords stay up off the wet floor, and equipment runs from a protected outlet.

2. Map the moisture

   Readings are taken in a grid, not in one spot. A grid shows the edge of the wet zone and gives later visits the same places to compare.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Cabinet kick plates are pulled so the cavity behind them can breathe. Particleboard cabinets that stayed wet may be removed and listed in the scope.

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.
