How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Hartford

A laundry area is warm and humid even on a normal day. That makes a soaked floor there an easy place for growth to begin. The crew runs dehumidifiers to pull the humidity down.

1. Pump out the standing water

   The operator works from the lowest spot outward, so water does not run back across cleared floor. Furniture goes up on blocks to keep the legs out of the puddles.

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

   Soap film is rinsed from floors and wall bases. Left behind, it stays tacky and holds both dirt and moisture.

4. Dry and verify

   The technician returns each day to read the same spots. Equipment moves or gets added wherever a reading stalls.
