How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Scooba

A musty smell after an overflow can mean moisture is hiding behind the baseboards or under the vinyl. The technician checks with a meter before anything is closed up.

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

   The technician runs a pinless meter across the floor, the lower wall and any ceiling below. Each reading goes onto a sketch of the room.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Sheet vinyl over wet plywood gets lifted at an edge, so the wood beneath can release its water. Tile stays put unless the subfloor remains wet.

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.
