After a laundry overflow, water can remain beneath a washer and flooring seams. Moisture mapping finds it before prolonged dampness creates more damage. The washer base may conceal a pocket that needs direct inspection.

1. Remove the overflow

   Standing drain water is removed with suitable extraction equipment. The crew protects unaffected contents while defining the wet boundary.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   A dry reference area gives the crew a comparison point. The wet map then shows where equipment and access are needed.

3. Handle affected materials

   Sewage-touched porous materials usually need removal. The crew documents the affected flooring or drywall and cleans remaining hard surfaces.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts drying equipment as moisture readings change. A final record shows the condition of affected walls and floors.
