How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Athens

Wet cardboard boxes of stored items stay damp for days. Move them onto a dry surface, or leave them for the crew if the floor is still 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

   A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches that the eye misses. The meter then confirms whether a patch holds water or only looks cool.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Wash water is gray water, so the crew washes hard surfaces and applies an EPA-registered antimicrobial where the standard calls for it.

4. Dry and verify

   A closed cabinet base or wall cavity gets a small opening or a vent so air can reach the trapped water.
