How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Alta

The crew's job is the water: pumping, cleaning and drying so the conditions for mold go away. Readings that return to the dry reference show the moisture is gone.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Truck-mounted units handle large volumes, and portable extractors reach into closets and up stairs. The crew picks the machine that fits the doorway and the depth.

2. Map the moisture

   The technician checks the room below an upstairs washer. A dry-looking ceiling there can still hold wet insulation.

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

   Equipment placement changes as the room dries. The technician moves air movers away from areas that read dry and toward areas that lag.
