How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Alba

Anything that stays wet past the first two days turns into a bigger job. Pad and drywall that might have dried in place can become tear-out.

1. Pump out the standing water

   The crew sets submersible pumps and extraction wands where the water is deepest. The technician confirms the supply is closed and the power is safe before any equipment is plugged in.

2. Map the moisture

   The map sets the drying class, from 1 to 4, which controls how much equipment the room needs. A small spill on tile is Class 1, and soaked plaster or hardwood climbs higher.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Carpet pad that soaked up gray water usually comes out. The carpet itself may be cleaned and dried in place if the loss is caught early.

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.
