What Washing Machine Overflow Flood Cleanup Includes in Port Neches

With washer overflow, laundry water runs beneath the machine, along baseboards and sometimes through a ceiling below. Moisture may remain in laundry flooring, wall board, carpet and ceiling insulation.

- Stop the cycle and close washer supply valves if safe.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
