How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Malcolm

Drying decides the outcome. When the crew pumps the water and brings the moisture down fast, the window for growth closes. Waiting through a weekend leaves it open.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Recovered wash water goes into the machine's tank and out to a proper disposal point. It is never sent toward another room or a storm drain.

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

   When every reading meets the target, the crew removes the equipment and hands over the drying log. That log goes into the claim file.
