How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Medford

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

   Recovered wash water goes into the machine's tank and out to a proper disposal point. It is never sent toward another room or a storm drain.

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

   Sewage-tainted water from a drain backup is Category 3. The crew contains the area, wears protective gear and removes porous materials the water touched.

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.
