How Washing Machine Overflow Flood Cleanup Works in Buckner

1. Remove standing water

   Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.

2. Map moisture

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

   Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.

• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
