How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Bunker Hill

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

   A sump-style pump handles deep pooling in a basement laundry corner. Shallow films on upstairs floors get a wand and a squeegee instead.

2. Map the moisture

   Laundry floors hide water beneath vinyl, and the base of the washer wall holds more. The map tells the crew where to put air movers and which spots need an opening.

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

   Floor drying mats can pull water up from hardwood or from a wet subfloor. The crew uses them where air movers alone are too slow.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
