  Overflow water spreads thin and wide, so the crew checks flooring seams and doorways well past the washer.

How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Patoka

Wet cardboard boxes of stored items stay damp for days. Move them onto a dry surface, or leave them for the crew if the floor is still wet.

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

   Laundry floors hide water beneath vinyl, and the base of the washer wall holds more. The map tells the crew where to put air movers and which spots need an opening.

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

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

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The washer itself is usually not part of the covered loss. A manufacturer warranty or a home warranty plan may handle the machine. The crew and the insurer deal with the water and the building.

• Take a video walk-through of every wet room
• Photograph the ceiling below from the room underneath
• Tell the landlord or building manager in writing

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
