How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Larkspur

Closed spaces dry slowly. Cabinet bases, closets and wall cavities need air movement or a small opening to release water, which is why the crew opens only what the readings show is wet.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Soapy water foams in the wand and the tank. The operator empties and rinses often so suction stays strong, and runs extra passes on the floor.

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

   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

   When every reading meets the target, the crew removes the equipment and hands over the drying log. That log goes into the claim file.
