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

   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

   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

   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

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