What Washing Machine Overflow Water Cleanup Includes in Caribou
A Caribou crew uses meters during washing machine overflow water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
A fill hose, drain hose, or washer tub releases water during or between cycles. Laundry water may run beneath appliances and through an upstairs floor. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because laundry flooring, ceiling drywall, carpet pad, and subfloor hold hidden moisture.
A blocked drain may need a plumbing contractor. Sewage cleanup also needs protective handling, removal of contaminated porous materials and surface cleaning.
