How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Selmer

Do not seal a wet floor under new flooring or paint. Trapped moisture causes trouble later. Wait for the final readings.

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

   Readings are taken in a grid, not in one spot. A grid shows the edge of the wet zone and gives later visits the same places to compare.

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

   Air movers go onto the wet surfaces and LGR dehumidifiers pull water from the air. The crew sizes both to the room's drying class.
